armor question

[Gyrth]

Something like this? Armour catches a hit and falls off.

that's perfect! how did you accomplish that?

Getting the attack direction and checking is there is armour attached to that side. It's unfinished and unpolished. A better looking one will end up in the game I'm sure.

did you script this? and if so what file and did you attach it to the armor object in its xml file?

Yeah I made it. It's not possible in the current version of OG.

I did an internship at Wolfire. Had access to the source.

To get the visual, auditory and I think some gameplay effects (I do believe knives don't stick nearly as easily for instance) of having metal armor when someone attacks a chraracter, add a parameter called "Armor" with a value of "metal" and you should be done.

Other than that I think you need to manually adjust some parameters to make the character more resistant in general to have the full gameplay effect of having armor.

~When editing in the character's parameters, I did see the 'add' option, and a set of choices for what type of parameter to add (in addition to renaming it). From a level editor's perspective, it would be incredibly useful to have a list of available parameters that are possible to add via the parameter editor, and what sub-types of each actually have effects on gameplay (ie: metal). The metal armor addition to the parameters was something I did not even know was possible without a mod that would explicitly support those characteristics.

~Are there other armor types aside from 'metal' ?

~P.S. how does one attach static armor objects to a character? The dog armor Turner uses in the campaign doesn't have any default attachment points on characters and I cannot seem to be able to attach them manually (using: select > alt > drag >click onto bones)

EDIT: Nevermind on the item attachment part. I am still curious about there being different types of armor, and a list of optional parameters like "Armor" would still help.

[samjb1992]

I too would like a list of all the parameters and what they do
