21 July 2004 15:16 (UK time) Wouldn't it be sweet if you could see the damage on a vehicle when it gets shot? i.e. Tiger jet flies around and gets shot by a rocket or two The Tiger jets health is in yellow and you see the engine smoking, and maybe some bullet holes on the left wing The tiger jets health is in red, the engine is making thick smoke, a wing is damaged and the other wings on fire. That would be pretty graphic. But it would be hard to make on infantry. But the noticeable damage should effect the player face sprite, the more you get shot, the more you begin to look like a raw hamburger, so you dont see Ash's eyes looking back and forth after your dead. *Papercut Pro-Murder.

That would work out pretty nice. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

26 July 2004 02:51 (UK time) i could draw a smoke sprite and of course it wont be like an 80x80 pixel sprite, it will probably be around 15x15, Im pictureing it right now, a stoo tank driving around with small dots of smoke coming out. I think ill get to drawing the sprite right now. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. You need to login to create posts in this thread.
