Hey,
Im kind of trying to build a mechwarrior strategy game within SC2 atm (first or third person shooter doesnt seem to viable cuz of the hardcoded lag...)
Nevertheless as of now im running into some problems that I just can't figure out. Feel free to just link tutorials and tell me what to look for, I'm not lazy, I just don't know where to look...
1. Does anyone know a way to create smoke at the launch point of a certain weapon? Do i have to use a preset (like the smoke the gun of a thor creates) or is there some physics within the engine that would do the trick. (As in: create some smoke and let physics run its course)
2. Since I'm neither good at modeling nor do I know the least bit about creating animations (For mechs the only animation that is a must-have is walking) the only models i can use are the thor and the viking. Is there some way to make their upper bodies a turret, that requires neither incredible effort nor lots of practice/knowledge?
And also if you need a programm to do it, is there a free one or could someone do it for me?
Any help would be highly appreciated...
I don't think I will publish that map, since i don't assume theres a lot of interest for something like that and the emulation within the Galaxy Editor is somewhat limited. So If it becomes a somewhat educational or enjoyable map, I will gladly upload it, for other users to look up.
