Scaling mounted weapons??

by Martin Askestad · in Torque Game Engine · 12/27/2005 (6:47 pm) · 6 replies

I have been entertaining myself with the search, but came up empty. Is there a way of scaling a weapon that the player is currently holding?? Without changing the model and re-exporting it??

I'm sure it's going to take some source modifications, but it's totaly possible. The weapons in Minions of Mirth scale with the character that's holding them, for example.

The above ressource uses dynamic scaling.
A proper lookthrough will reveal the secrets I think.

Enjoy!

I'm not entirely sure how it was done, but modders in Tribes 2 did some crazy stuff with the dts shapes already in the game. For example, combining multiple dts shapes together to make a new weapon. Scaling was also done on a regular basis... so I think its possible.

So there is a way, though I certainly not sure how to do it...

Holy crap I've never seen that scale modification. On a perbone basis? That's awesome, but I don't see the source for it anywhere on that page?
