Hey fellow Robloxians,
I was wondering if like anyone has thought of doing a cover system in their games before, and if they've done it before. Something like in GTA4 and Brothers in Arms, (and many other games) where you can duck behind anything that can act as cover and then be able to move behind it and maybe be able to look up or sideways. Something with elements like these:
- press a button to enter cover,
- once in cover, character is now facing sideways with maybe some animation
- character can move sideways, changing body direction
- character can move to edge of cover and peek out with gun and be able to shoot
- press button again to exit
This could be a script put in guns, similar to the zoom scripts and crouch scripts used all over roblox, except much much more advanced. So yeah, i was wondering if anyone has done it before, or if ppl are just too lazy like me to do it themselves :3 ... so... canz i has? |

...sorry for my noobishness, i guess i didnt put enough exclamation marks in the title, so here goes
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!okay i'm done
Anyways, anyone? Interested? Know anything about the topic? Want to beat me up?
Actually I'm gonna work on it right now, but will probably fail horribly and become a disgrace to Roblox, so if anyone wants to stop me and do it themself, I'd gladly let them. |

Its easy enough to just crouch and move to cover. |

Bloxy, i wanted to do it for a long time. Do you know if how to script? We could script it together(i started doing this system a while ago, still have it somewhere). |

This would be completely possible. But you'd have to have something in the cover itself (Either a specific name, or a script) to tell the player that it is possible to cover there, or else they'd hide behind a curb, which wouldn't really be hiding. |

It'd be nice to see it, and it would add more realism to games.
Reminds me a lot of L.A. Noire, and maybe ti could have some low cover (crouching) and high cover (standing).
I don't know. A cover system would be nice. |

OMG thanks for the support guys. I didn't know I'd get even four replies.
@ ReckHe00
You know I think I'll just do it myself for now, cuz i feel like actually doing something myself once in Roblox for now. Maybe if I need help I'll ask.
Anyways, I had already started on the script, and this is what I've gotten down so far:
- part is chosen by mouse
- part must not be locked, not anchored?, yes cancollide
- part must be pretty close
- part must be taller than 5 studs (for now :) I'll work on low cover later)
- there are four possible positions on the part: left,right,front,back
- script will find which pos is closer, but i think a better way might be to see which side the mouse is pointing at, then be able to find the direction of that side. I actually don't know much about these things, but I'll try.
- also I'm thinking of changing the walkspeed to 0 and handling movement all by code, but maybe we could get the player to stick to the side of the cover and still retain walkspeed. This is just as complex as I thought it would be. D:
Any helpful suggestions/changes, please tell me. Maybe I should post this in scripting instead. Would help a lot. Thnx guys. |

oh yeah,
@nightninja53
Lot's of roblox games suck right now. No personal offense to any and all builders out there (cuz its not good to offend others) but don't ask me why. It actually would be so much cooler if stealth were encouraged in games.
@ninjasheep
I think it'll be cooler if ppl could choose whatever cover they want to hide under, but sure, I'll have standards for the cover. I'm trying to keep it from being too restricted so ppl can easily make use of it in their games. :D |

This would be a really cool feature in a game (assuming you could get it to work.)!
I'd try and help you myself, but all I can really do is build. If you need anything built I'd be glad to help, but right now all I can really say is good luck! I hope this works! |

By the way, jumping/climbing system would be almost same. By jump/climb system i mean system like in GTA sanandreas, nothing advanced. |

Cool, you guys are already working on it. By the way, to be honest, you guys seem pretty hardcore, doing these advanced game engine stuff. Kudos to that. :)
(Thanks to some stalking,) i haz foundz out that GreenDay is a veteran scripter. RackHe, you recently joined but it seems you have previous experience or are just getting used to scripting fast. Woah.
And, yeah, a jump/climb system would be similar, in a way of predetermining which brick to jump on along with the controls and such.
So... did you guys drop this project before or are kinda finished? I've already got a bunch of code down, and we could easily finish this much quicker. I think it would be nice, working together on this project! :D |

Bloxy, when you get a working copy of this, would you mind sharing it with me? Only thing I can offer to a NBC is my building skills and some maps I made. |

Of course we can finish it together, but make your decision, as i remember:
"You know I think I'll just do it myself for now"
Btw, its an alt. |

...Dude, you're confusing. I is confused. I don't know why but I'm not going to ask cuz I probably wont understand anyways.
WHYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?
Okay don't answer that.
Is there a delete post button? I wanna delete that post. FOREVER.
Anyways, since you (and GreenDay) already has (have) like gotten down half the script already, I'm not getting get in the way of you (yous) for my personal gain. I'm not that bad. At least not in Roblox.
Well maybe a better more likeable reason would be that I've always wanted to work w/ others on Roblox. It's mah dream. NOM NOM NOM.
So yeah, cuz you're so nice to let me work w/ you (thnx :D), let's... get started! Or smh liek that. I haz skills. Doz you 2? Coolz. Imma post mah script when I've got it's bugs fixed, and then maybe I can do the extra stuff while you handle teh main script. K? Thnx again :D |

Hiya ppl, the script is finally done. I spent a week working on it and I hope there aren't any other scripts like this before on free models otherwise I'd be pretty sad. Really sad.
So... yeah here it is :D
