Aiming display advice

Archive: 6 posts


Hello fellow tutors, I'm currently making a inFAMOUS themed level with a sackbot as cole macgrath. I got his static thrusters, energy search display (L3 in the inFAMOUS games), health bar, the ability to take in electricity to regain health and a start on a simple mel?e attack for now.
Only thing I really need help on is really his most uses ability. His Lightning Bolts. Now I wanna be able to run while aiming, and have a display around his body to aim 360* with the right analog stick. To aim I would like to hold L1 like in the game itself, and shoot with R1. I understand I'll be needing emitors for the bolts and I'll kool with that.
All I really need help with is the ability to aim 360*

But if anyone has better ideas, i'm open to ideas =]

Well, you could use a control like Left stick to aim, then have that be a input for directions on a controllanator on the redicule(which I sugest making out of hologram).2011-06-24 15:47:00

Cheers for the advice, but you really think left analog stick? As for the redicule, I was thinking holo too.
That's all good and all, but I frankly don't have a clue how to make the redicule and to use it to aim 360*. Could anyone give me a tut or an example for me to study off?

Cause I'm brain dead over how to make this thing =

Not sure if I understood the question, but it sounds like you need a Joystick Rotator. These take an analogue input and mimic Paintinator or Creatinator style controls.2011-06-24 18:23:00
