Anyone got ideas of how these should look? Reference material? Also how do they work in game? Do they only stick against vehicles or against people and props too? I was thinking of a magnetic style one for BE but that wouldn't make sense to stick on people.
They go on everything. Everything. I got killed by a sticky lying on the ground, a sticky on me, a sticky on my tank, a sticky on my tank while in the tank, a sticky on a friend... I don't have any reference material nor do I know a thing about modelling, but I would just make a larger grenade and call it that.
Don't know anything about weapons, so all I can do is link wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bomb Quote from there:
In red orchestra they used these: http://weapon.at.ua/grenade_3/germani/Hafthohlladung_3-2.jpg But those use magnets. My idea for attachment would be those: -magnets -spikes -glue -ropes (similar to bolas)
Someone had already made sticky grenades before, but for some reason they never made it ingame (as always...). NF sticky grenade was the ball thing wealthysoup posted + some spikes. BE sticky grenade I don't remember, perhaps it could be something like this: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121117115535/halo/images/e/e4/H4_plasmagrenade_trans.png EDIT: The one from dishonored is also nice: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121023221113/dishonoredvideogame/images/9/9d/Sticky_Grenade.png
Yeah, I mean...couldn't we just make something randomly awesome looking and just have that? All the requirements really are is that you have to be able to hold it like a grenade and throw it about 10 metres. Not that a ball on a stick isn't interesting, but seriously...
I reckon similar to the current BE nade (a pipe) with little shiny circular pieces of magnet all over it, about 1-2cm across. I reckon that'd look gud.
Out of curiosity, is the goal of this to make them more visible or simply more stylized so as to not just be a default grenade model? Because as it is its near impossible to tell if you are stickied, unless you saw the person throw it on you (or they threw it in your face when you were infantry and it covers your view)
I can incredibly easily make a fuckign badass particle to show off sticky grenades. But no code support. Bug candles, he'll code it, then he can bug me.
Be: A ball shaped shaped charge that sticks because its a electromagnet. Stun: Same looking model, but with a glowing blue particle. (emp pulse that fucks with the engine and weapons) Nf: A dynamite like tube with spikes. Bonus points: 10 damage when hitting a person. (he is dead anyway) Possible meele. Stun: A bottle filled with gasoline. With spikes. Just because. (just plain overheating)
Spent a few hours on replicating the ball on a stick version for NF, might try to add some glowing parts to make it stand out as a sticky. I think the electromagnetic ball of blue awesomeness is how I plan to go with the BE version. Let's just forget that people aren't magnetic, it sticks to them somehow
apart from iron, cobalt and nickel theres not that many magnetic metals, especially not at "normal" temperatures. also a lot of modern weapons are mainly made out of plastics ... ... but then, fuck realism right?
