The first part of that was facetious, though true. It was the latter part where my stern face kicked in.

Is that bad?

y00tz · « **Reply #222 on:** May 24, 2008, 09:32:00 PM »

Not at all

y00tz is probably gonna kill me, but I can't remember if this one was suggested or not (I'm to lazy to read the entire thread again).

How about an explosion model?

Bank Robber: "Everyone get on the ground, I have a gun!"
y00tz: "Psshhh, I've got three."

You're getting y00tz confused with me

Eh?

A model in which an explosion occurs. It's not that difficult

Difficult to make look right.

Sorry, I meant it's not that difficult to understand what you say.... Even though it usually is

Fullmetal_Steeb · « **Reply #229 on:** May 28, 2008, 01:47:11 PM »

I understand what you're going for, but an explosion is a rapid release of energy... I don't see how you can put that into a model.

... I'm sure he means debris flying off in every direction.

Fullmetal_Steeb · « **Reply #231 on:** May 28, 2008, 03:35:35 PM »

Then wouldn't you just use models of debris?

y00tz · « **Reply #232 on:** May 28, 2008, 08:10:44 PM »

Sure, and hardcode the engine to create a thousand instances of it and fling them in every direction after an 'explosion' flag is triggered?

That's what the Quake2 gamex86 does when you blow up a barrel

There's usually fire and smoke involved, too. I think particles/billboards are the better way to approach this than a model, though.

r_speeds don't apply to models I don't believe. Your FPS will go down though.

Argh Argh Argh Argh Argh!

epoly = models!!!

And yes, you'll take a performance hit, but very slightly.

If you're creating a hundred differnet entities for 1 pball, then i cam expect the overflow to be quite frequent in blitz and other maps like it.
