Makeup kit for tank?

[Guest Spydr331]

im trying to make a tank that can disguise itself at other tanks... but so far no good... i tried copying the makeupkit for the spy and the warhead and then changing the warhead versus values... but no matter what i change it to... it wont target a tank... the cursor changes to the red circle with the cross in it when i try to targe the tanks... does anyone know what is wrong?

Can't be done. End of story.

[Guest Spydr331]

it only works for shp files huh? oh well... i noticed i could aim at trees and rocks and people and buildings... but not tanks...

 

 

BOING!

idea! how about... is there a way... to create a tank that deploys itself and disguises itself as a building? i know you can deply a tank into a building already but how about disguise as building? is that possible?

[Guest Spydr331]

oh yeah, off topic conversation, i got the trigun DVD set fenring... it only cost $30 off amazon after you look at the lowest priced versions... dont go for used ones, go for new ones from websites!

No, cannot be done. The enemy will be able to detect the owner. Mirage logic only works with terrain objects. End of story.

[Guest Spydr331]

the story is never ended! ... except in this case.. i ran out of ideas on this topic... YOU WIN THIS ROUND FENRING!

[Doctor Destiny 41]

I win? Sweet! What do I win?

lol... i remember when i tried to make a tank make up thingy... it screwed up on me... the enemy never noticed (i think... i forgot), but players will... it is like a malfunction to your tv...

in the ini files near the top it says for mirage tank makeupkit tree01 tree02 tree03 and tree04 couldnt you just simply change all 4 to 4 different types of tanks like HTNK TTNK PICK FV

 

PICK is the pick up truck incase you didnt remeber it.

just had alook and it says the unit must be a terrain type object is there nayway of making a tnak part of the terrain. ive played a map online wherer they used the pulse cannon with ice all over it and you can destroy them there part of the map.

f you can convert the art to a terrain feature then yes it would work. But the tank would always face one direction and look out of place. Your enemy would know better.

[Guest Kudos]

lol but it would be worth a try maybe you can tweak it further. But i only started modding maps yesterday so i dont know to much.

Fenring, you haven't won anything, because I can do this type of tank.

Don't say that it cannot be done only because you don't know how to do that. You aren't an expert, so don't look like that! :roll:

It really can't be done without some coding.

 

Seriously, if you can point at a tank and get the mirage look without any flaws I'd really like to see a picture of it. :wink:

Ohhhhhhh really. You can make a tank that disguise as other tanks? Prove it.

 

I can use the Tank Make up kit too. It's not hard and that's what you're referring to.

 

Here's what you do not understand:

1) Mirage logic only works on terrain objects, nothing else.

2) Mirage logic also only works with non-turreted vehicles. Even if you could disguise as an enemy tank, it would look ridiculous.

3) You cannot fire a make up weapon at enemy vehicles.

well what about disguising the tank as a vehicle without a turret like and oreminer, this would be good bait, destroy the ore miner to stop cash you get there and its a mirage tank. terror drone also dosent have a turret.

 

and if you did make a different type of tank like grizzly with a turret and made it a terrain object would you be able to give it the virtual scanner that way it would look for targets.

 

and if the mirage tank follows this it would be a tank with a moving turret prehaps.

If you can do this by all means go ahead.

The terror drone never needed a turret for it's role in battle.

Try to give a terrain art a weapon cant happen. (other than tags that say its a vein and so on)

the virtual scanner is for weapons with a range of one or less. Its used by the AI to target a enemy. (dog, terror drone and so forth)

 

and if the mirage tank follows this it would be a tank with a moving turret prehaps.

 

The mirage has no turret. The top half is part of the voxel's base.

i looked at the voxels and i think that the mirage tank has a turret... maybe it is not implimented but miragetank has the keyname = rtnk and there are 2 other voxels called rtnktur and rtnkbarl...

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Actually, the Virtual Scanner weapon searches for targets within a units attack range. Usually used on attack dogs, Medics and Mechanics.

yes... there is a turret to mirage tank... but the line turret=no makes it so that it doesn't turn it's turret...

if you didnt mind just having a single type of tree as the mirage tank could you just set Image=Tree01 or Tree02 etc...
