I'm sure he underlined OBJECT for a reason.

Hey, you.

If I made the shield material metal, what would happen to its material effects? They would react like metal. Do I want them to react like metal? No. Do I want to change the metals material effects to act like a shields? No, because that would screw up everything else's material effects.

I don't even think your right about that material lowering the damage anyway, but i've never tried it.

Just throwing this idea out there with no real idea what I'm talking about...

What if you made grenades (or rockets), instead of plunking off the shield and falling down, bounce off with extreme force? Enough to send them far away, out of damage range?

Which would protect you from people throwing nades on the ground next to it?

But then, what happens if that rocket or grenades goes off to hit another player? I think he's aiming for accuracy here, not for creative, though interesting ideas.

didn't say it was a perfect idea.

This may be a stupid idea, but you could create an invisible second shield model slightly larger than the visible one, that would be large enough to stop any explosives at a greater distance, keeping the players inside the visible shield completely safe.

You people need to think before you post stupid ideas. If he was to do that, then the bullets would hit the outside collision, and thus look like shit. And I don't even think that would work because it does not matter how many objects are between the player and the splash damage. If the player is within the radius of the splash damage, he will take damage, no matter what.

Just deal with it. It's not going to be a huge deal. If you see a grenade, run in the opposite direction. It's not hard.

I don't know that much about Halo CE scripting, but could you not write a script that would make it so that when a grenade goes off close enough to the sheild, for that quick second or so that it is detonating, a material that reflects explosion damage (if there is any such material) would spawn around a certian part of the sheild, then it could dissapear right after the explosion.
