Hi all,
I came up with this idea for a mission recently, and it involves you passing from one petrovice-style rooftop to another, so you can clear out the building you've just moved onto, and use abseiling techniques to perform a roof clearing etc (If you've read Chris Ryan's 'The kremlin device', i'm basing it on that)
Anyway, I need a ladder to reach across the rooftops.
I could use pallets, but it looks messy.
The ladder doesn't have to be get-in-able, just a long, thin object that you can walk on, with ladder textures simular/the same as the BIS ladder ones.
Even just a horizontal version of the BIS ladder would be ideal. ;D
So, can anyone spare the time to make this? I'm not sure about this, but it should be pretty easy to turn a ladder a few degrees round right? (don't quote me on that) ;)
Thanks

Isn't there a training object that if sunk into the building the right way, will look like a wooden plank? Training 3? :P
-
Thats a good idea. ;)
Unfortunatly, I'm thinking more of a ladder 8m across maybe. That kinda distance. The training one is about 1-2m. However, I will use loads of them together if I have to :-\
-
Well, this should indeed not be difficult to make such a
thingy'
Unfortunately i'm gonna have to wait at least 1 week from
now, until i can start working on anything :-\
If you're then still in need of summit like that i'll give it a go.
Some suggestions here:
a)
wooden planks with roadway lod - this will make it able to
walk on them - but there might be a problem for ai as for
sure they will tend to fall down from there.
But as i reckon' from your basic idea - it's for players anywayz
and not for ai.
b)
some objects (might be really a horizontal ladder or some rain
pipes or whatever), offering the feature to: climb laddr up/down
could maybe look stupid if presented to other players, which
don't just be happy for the feature because of unrealistic
climb up/down for horizontal movement ;)
c)
some metal architecture in like you can see on oil-rigs or fabrics including ceilling on left/righ - to walk over without possibility
of falling down
:edit
btw - Roach;
All your base are belong to us
As i was just trying it out again lately after i found the CD somewhere
deep in my computer room:
This is some cheat for EmpireEarth - i think it gives 100000 of all resources ;D
~S~ CD
-
yup, this should be easy. Just a matter of finding a model with a ladder on it ;D
or make my own ;)
-
Thanks for the suggestions Chris Death.
If it did come to using pallets or the training item, I might make a trigger in the other roof top, that when you enter it, theres a blck out scene and the other soliders are setposed onto the new roof. ;)
@Oyman
That would be great if you could make one. ;D
-
I did make one ill put up a screen later, when home :)
here it is, im kinda unhappy with the texture on it, but it looks good still

That does look good! You planning on releasing it?
-
That does look perfect ;D
-
Yeh, looks nice enough, but how hard is it to run over? Or more inportantly, fall of :P
