[Monster] Bring on the snails! [now with turbo-mode]

[Eleven Warrior]

Awesome Lizard thxs for doing this, now we need to just add the rest of the monsters from LOG 1. Once again fine work When I Press K for instant kill the party gets no xp strange.

[Grimfan]

That's normal for all monsters Eleven.

[swampie]

Sooo wait a sec... are all the old monsters in the log2 assets pack? Waiting to be ported over?

[SpacialKatana]

Any ideas on how to add spells ( a ranged attack like fireball) to , let's say, a Crowern?

I did it for LoG1, but without the asset files for reference I be strugglin to do it

Found this on Deviantart and was instantly reminded of Grimrock:

Hah, so awesome to have those guys back. Thank you!

Decided to make something a little bit wacky, but I think the code might be useful as an example to some:

Introducing the turbo snail, a snail that moves so fast he leaves a trail of flames everywhere he goes. He also comes with a relatively simple custom brain that has him wander until the party is adjacent to him, and then he'll turn and bite them.

Code: Select all

         animationSpeed = 8,

      },
   }
}

Note: If you don't already have them, this snail uses the sounds, materials, and animation events from the original snail.

@sps999 - Your turbo snail is hilarious! He's sooo fast

Question - I have re skinned some snails, based on Prozails code from original post and using model/textures from LoG1
They work fine but the console keeps telling me: cant find head node for snail_blue_green
This is my snail definition

Code: Select all

Cant seem to sort out this head node business, anyone know what I am doing wrong here??

[Grimfan]

It doesn't look like there is anything amiss. Did you have any issues with the re-textured lizards?

Change base_object to snail perhaps?

[akroma222]

No problems at all with the retextured lizards... nor with the normal snail.
Tried changing from base_monster to snail but still get the same console msg
Tried opening and closing editor instead of reloading but no change either...

Hmm
