Title: Grenade toss animation needed
Post by: Fryth on February 26, 2004, 02:57:58 PM
eiii raised this - I thought it deserved its own thread.

I don't see what the problem is. The toss can still be instant - just make it so that the hand goes at the same speed as the grenade, and then have it move in slowly.

good idea! i was rethinking my post about grens...

but what if you throw it down some? since the current models only really point in 3 directions (up,stright, down), it would screw up the anims. this could be fixed w/ new models though...(hint hint again)

I think if it's a subtle animation, the direction you're tossing in won't matter.

hmm, and thats a reason to take up an old topic?
Well, this is. I was thinking over this one a lot and I've thought that maybe you could have more animations, say for picking up paintballs, etc. Or having slightly transparent hoppers and having it so that you can see the pballs in there. And having different gun models things (shown on your 1st person HUD, but actually on the gun) of things like hoppers, barrels, CO2, etc.

shut up
:S I was aggreeing with you, but saying 'OMGZZ I REALLY LIKE THIS CAN BE DO THIS' isn't a reason to get back an old thread.... or to even post on it if it were active.

back on topic. What do other people think?

Why you do this?
Just make a new topic about an almost 4 year old topic and please stop saying 'back on topic'.  All most all of your posts are pointless and off topic.

I don't think the players would look good picking up paintballs at 75 miles per hour.

Also I make myself sad in this thread. :(

Not really sure if this is a request for first person or 3rd person animations.  If it's the latter, it will break compatibility with the old player models.

ya that sucks when u think someone is idling and when you walk past them to get the flag they turn and shoot you. also i think the grenade animations would be cool but im worried about lag issues. would all these new animations make me lag even more?
Title: Re: Grenade toss animation needed
Post by: XtremeBain on March 27, 2008, 07:54:25 PM
The grenade tossing animations would add very little lag/overhead if any.

Have you seen pros playing things like Halo 3? the animations are ridiculous when they reload, then immediately whack someone with their gun. It looksgood, but at the same time unrealistic. It would look nice for normal players.:D

Halo 3 is a much, much slower game then Paintball is.

Halo 3 is a much, much slower game then Paintball is.
But when you watch pros playing, the animation is crazily fast. And quite entertaining. :D

Uh, no? The animations speed up based on how good you are.

I think that a first player animation is all we need.  Just something to make the game a bit more realistic
