Well, obviously a biped is needed to show the bubble shield model.
Actually, can you tell us more of why its an actor variant?
It deploys a biped consisting of only the emitter model. The biped contains a seat, with the active camoed actor variant tag loaded as the built in gunner. Now the tricky part is the shields collision. I had to load an effect on the biped that constantly spawned a weapon tag that detonated when dropped. The weapon tag contained the shields collision. The reason I had to do the shields collision this way is to maintain the ability to deflect grenades (a major gameplay element that made the shield useless if it was lost).Quote:

making this model isnt as easy as I thought.
You know whats weird?
I had a dream about this last night.
I was on the testmap and I was like...man...this looks really good.
I got major dejavu wen I watched that video because thats the exact same motions I went through.
I'm guessing it can't block the grenade's explosion, though, rite?
That's impossible for the engine if I remember right?
Just lower the damage radius.
Damage effects would still go through it. The only thing they don't go through is BSPs.
I was just going to say that.Quote:
