Bipedal Tank
Archive: 14 posts
This is my first published level. You pilot TYPE 3, a bipedal tank, and fire at a series of 3 targets for points. To fire the cannon hold R1 towards the left side of the cockpit. To walk forwards hold R1 to the right. To enter the cockpit jump upwards after entering TYPE 3 from the launch tower or hop in from the top. Couple of screenies: http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l37/Corporeal/e4170694.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l37/Corporeal/fdf4c744.jpg Running an author search for Ayneh should bring it up. | 2009-03-07 17:59:00 Author: Ayneh Posts: 2454 |
Wow, that's a pretty cool biped. Unfortunately, no matter how much I tried it kept falling over backwards whenever it would step on a piece of the target. Still it's pretty amazing that it can walk on its own at all, and the firing animation is awesome. | 2009-03-07 18:26:00 Author: Gilgamesh Posts: 2536 |
Wow, that's a pretty cool biped. Unfortunately, no matter how much I tried it kept falling over backwards whenever it would step on a piece of the target. That's a problem I kept coming up against as well. I tried to place the explosives embedded in each target differently but could never get the entire thing to be destroyed, leaving debris that you would trip up on. Another major flaw is that you can accidentally destroy the points and score board at the end of the level if you miss the targets and you tend to fall over while firing. Still it's pretty amazing that it can walk on its own at all, and the firing animation is awesome. Thanks. | 2009-03-08 19:15:00 Author: Ayneh Posts: 2454 |
try making the feet bigger so it stops from falling over. and for the ending scoreboard: place a metal cover around it, with a small entrance. | 2009-03-08 20:01:00 Author: oldage Posts: 2824 |
try making the feet bigger so it stops from falling over. Large feet would stop it from falling over but look ugly. I need to reduce the size/weight of the cannon and add other enhancements which will be forthcoming. | 2009-03-08 20:35:00 Author: Ayneh Posts: 2454 |

yeah it needs bigger feet who cares how it works, its useless if it cant move very well. also when you took 1 shot it just keeps shooting then you forget where the grab switch is to continue walking . then it just falls also i shot down the scoreboard many times make it more far apart | 2009-03-08 20:47:00 Author: 01philip01 Posts: 545 |

It doesn't need a good look, just add some stickers/decorations and the bigger feet don'tt matter. | 2009-03-08 20:50:00 Author: oldage Posts: 2824 |
This thing looks GREAT, I'm going to play this right now. | 2009-03-08 22:02:00 Author: DRT99 Posts: 431 |
for the targets try adding a hidden brain so the entire thing dissapears and connect a paint switch to both the bombs and the brain so it blows up and dissapears | 2009-03-09 01:59:00 Author: redmagus Posts: 667 |

You could use "glass skis" to make your feet wider without it being visible/ugly.

I've taken on board the suggestions I've received and attempted to make the level more fun. A tutorial has been added. It's less likely you'll fall over. There are now opposing bipeds for you to destroy. You can no longer accidentally blow up the scoreboard. The background and environmental effects have been changed. The problem with the debris from the targets causing you to fall over has been resolved. TYPE 3 has various enhancements, including a new rocket weapon used when the opposing bipeds get too close. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l37/Corporeal/578068bf.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l37/Corporeal/62b90a82.jpg The level is called Bipedal Tank: TYPE 3, you'll win it as a prize for completing the level. | 2009-03-11 16:27:00 Author: Ayneh Posts: 2454 |
Tried this again. I haven't noticed too much new about the walker itself, but the new course and training video is nice. The walker still has that terrible tendency to want to do the limbo, have you tried making the feet out of heavier material? I think it would give it a little more stability. Also, the enemies seem to die even if my shots went way over their heads... err... hips. A strange bug occured at one point too. I grabbed the firing trigger and for some reason the tank went into machinegun mode and started firing nonstop at a high rate of fire (it was awesome lol). | 2009-03-12 11:44:00 Author: Gilgamesh Posts: 2536 |

If you let go at the right time the cannon remains retracted in it's housing, which activates a magnetic key, which activates the emitters. I couldn't think of any way to resolve the problem but it's fun when it happens anyway. | 2009-03-13 22:35:00 Author: Ayneh Posts: 2454 |
