Water Effects and Weaponry.

In the Undead campaign "Legacy of the Damned", in "The Forgotten Ones". There is a part where you must activate some aqueducts to flood some towers.

Does anybody know how they do that?

If you had a Marine Hero in an underground lab situation. What weapons would you want? I just have trouble thinking up what weapons to create. The list of already created weapons are:

PULSE RIFLE
ROCKET LAUNCHER
SHOTGUN
SNIPER RIFLE
FLAMETHROWER

Oh, and how do you make units not attack even with units in range?

There are some rising water models in the editor, that can be controlled by playing their animations; the rest is just timed "unit - explode", I think.

harpoon..fits the theme perfectly ..

Oh and I forgot these weapons as well:

FIRE AXE -or- COMBAT KNIFE
CANISTER RIFLE -or- GRENADE LAUNCHER

GRENADES - EXPLOSIVE, INCENDIARY, NERVE, SMOKE
D8 CHARGES
MACHINE GUN

The -or- means I haven't decided and it would be nice if someone voted between the 2.

grenade knife + grenade launcher

more realistic

Grenade knife?

Change the unit's acquisition range.

I'm 70% sure he was trying to vote for the Combat Knife and the Grenade Launcher. The other 30% says he's completely insane.
I don't know why he would consider a fire-axe or a canister rifle unrealistic, though.

I think a Marine should have U-238 shells. Maybe you'd have to research them, but I think they'd extend the range of your gun. Stim packs too, which might hurt a bit but would increase your attack and movement speed for 30 seconds.

Some kind of proximity mine and/or remo-bomb would be nice, too.

Some sort of semi-automatic rifle would be good, for sweep-killing stuff. A decent pistol (desert eagle/ .44 magnum) would be pretty nice too.

Rofl .... damn i wasnt even drunk ..

eh ye ..combat knife ...you got the idea ?!

I know, I was just joking.

"PULSE RIFLE or ASSAULT RIFLE" whichever term you prefer fills that role. And unless we have a pistol wielding barely modified marine on the resource section both here and at HiveWorkshop, I think I'll settle for "hyper-velocity anti-infantry rounds"

I dunno, maybe because a fire axe is much easier to find in a lab than a combat knife? And the canister rifle or anti-tank rifle, because the Starcraft Ghost had one? LOL.

P.S.: What controls where the projectiles come out from in the model editor? I can't have a marine whose flamethrower is his groin!

Why not?

"Hey, I'll show you my flamethrower if you show me yours, if ya know what I mean!"

Um... it wouldn't feel right. Unless you want a human version of that Cannon Mouth from Parasite Eve 2 with the crotch instead.

Sniping in an underground lab? Not enough range.
Rockets will likely cause too much damage.

What you really want are the following:
MP5 submachine gun (or make your own variant)
Smoke grenades
C4 charges
Knife used by Gundams in anime, but scaled down to a normal combat knife (it can cut through steel like a lightsaber)

If you absolutely need a high-powered, single shot weapon, give him a Rail Gun.

A marine in an underground lab will be a covert situation, so you want mobility and invisibily. Silenced weapons is a must.

I did forget the theme.

- You are a supersoldier marine.
- You bust out of your containment unit, when a scientist shuts all power.- You obviously start with no weapons.
- The game relies on stealth or brute force, using either when necessary.


Sniping - I did ask this in a different thread.
Rockets - So any other ideas on a variety of blowing tanks in a combat testing zone up?


MP5 - Got that, sort of...
Smokes - Got that...
C4 - Got that...
Beam Saber - This is not the advent of plasma in a tube forced out of it and contained using magnetic fields. (Depending on which series you refer to.)


Interesting suggestion...


Ain't that why you get a combat knife for slitting throats and a permanent invisibility when researched?

Somebody told me that changing the unit's acquisition range would stop units from attacking units in range. Was I supposed to set it to 0? Because the sniper's still sniping all the scientists he can see.
