HL2 Monsters and vehicles for UT2004

[Lord_Buggy]

It was a quick fix as it was a pain to make it spawn on the map at all. It does eventually 'pop up' and yes, I was not happy with it but I thought something was better then nothing. If there is anyone out there willing to make another version that works flawlessly they are welcome.

Bump up all vehicle factories spawning the Strider, by means of setlocation function, that should fix it.

As stated, I am no coder so what you said meant very little to me I did look through the code within the ONSStriderFactory.uc and there was no mention of setlocation nor in the actual Strider.uc file itself.

function PostBeginPlay()
{
	local ONSVehicleFactory Factory;

	FactoryVehicleClass = class<SVehicle>( DynamicLoadObject(FactoryVehicleClassName,class'Class') );
	ArenaVehicleClass = class<SVehicle>( DynamicLoadObject(ArenaVehicleClassName,class'Class') );

	if(ArenaVehicleClass != None)
	{
		foreach AllActors( class 'ONSVehicleFactory', Factory )
		{
			if (Factory.VehicleClass == FactoryVehicleClass)
			{
				Factory.VehicleClass = ArenaVehicleClass;
				Factory.SetLocation(Factory.Location + vect(0,0,5000));//The fix
			}			
		}
	}

	Super.PostBeginPlay();
}

Like so, just be sure to reduce the 5000 to being a bit more logical. 5000 will have it falling from the sky, but it won't be stuck in the ground.

Ah, I see. But the Strider factory was merely based on the other two vehicles so it is strange there were no reported problems with those. I will attempt some changes to hopefully polish this off, many thanks.

It really isn't that strange if you think about it, considering the strider has a considerable amount of leg space needed underneath the vehicle(from COM down). The other vehicles don't need this, as there isn't anything sticking out as much underneath.

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that I spotted a bug?

You were not ignored, I know there are many problems but these are probably the most animated humanoid forms since the nali and it is very hard to get it right. As stated before anyone with more experience can feel free to continue the work.

Actually... the monsters are fine, but the human enemies should have the ragdoll system integrated into their skeleton.

Ah, okay. Sorry if I sounded like I was complaining. I just wanted to either pointed out a bug if it was one, or make sure I wasn't screwing up.

It's still a great mod.

As I stated I was merely the messenger so to speak with this mod but as I have had no offers to carry it on I will attempt to "tidy" it up a bit more for a version 4 myself. Hey, I may even get to learn something in the process

Gotta download!

Wow, I have to download this! As soon as my computers fixed.

I have a comic on BeyondUnreal's skincity forum that "will" feature Striders later on...

Now, if someone could create the Q-Ko-Chan robots as vehicles...

[Tenebre]

Amazing job Ducatisto!!!
It is really cool to see HL2 vehicle in UT and drive a tripod before the UT3's one

[fuegerstef]

Awesome job.

[wildman]

Awesome job.

Oh yes nice work indeed. I wish i had you guys talent.

[Rukifellth]

By the way, which map is it on the first pick with Striders?
