Ep. 1, because of the game that followed... There was just so much in that game that could've been in the movie.

I don't think it had anything at all to do with the type of computer you use, but rather a bad "kyle.npc" file in one of the mods you had; You can search the pk3 files by using WinRar, and looking in the "ext_data/npcs" directory for the file I mentioned earlier.

I may have mis-worded the description of my problem when I said 'marked' ...

Stasis would probably also require pieces of both the "ForceLightningShoot" and "ForceTelepathy" codes, (Lightning's radius damage, and MindTrick's distract effect, where you only hit a floor/wall with Mind Trick) for a more coordinated use of the power's freeze effect at levels 3 and above. As for Destruction... From what I gathered from switching labels around in it's missile code, I know that it has alot to do with the line "VectorCopy( muzzle, start );" . The problem I have now is whether I should edit either "muzzle" or "start", or just add a specific label to make it actually fire straight at all times, and not mark a surface with Saber swings.

Here's what I'm trying to do: I took the code for wp_concussion's primary fire and just pasted it into wp_saber as ForceDestruction, and I've never done a weapon-force conversion before. So, take WP_ATST_MAIN for example; When you type "give weapon_atst_main" in the console, you're able to fire the weapon no problem, but it has no weapon MODEL, as it was designed for the AT-ST model itself. How would I convert that into a Force power without it randomly spewing shots all over the map, instead of firing precisely in the direction that I'm facing, and without having to use Mouse1 to "mark" the target?

Well, basically what I'm doing is trying to fire a sort of "Concussion" round from the player's left hand, as you would do with level 2 Force Lightning. Problem is, when I try to "fire" it off, I get the following results: (In-Game results) #1: Never plays the FX for the thrown projectile (Invisible shot) #2: Never fires in the direction I'm facing #3: Never plays the FX for the explosion, just the damage and the radius (Compiler results) 2>..\..\..\code\game\wp_saber.cpp(13615): warning C4101: 'forward' : unreferenced local variable2>..\..\..\code\game\wp_saber.cpp(13615): warning C4101: 'end' : unreferenced local variable2>..\..\..\code\game\wp_saber.cpp(13704): warning C4101: 'forward' : unreferenced local variable2>..\..\..\code\game\wp_saber.cpp(13704): warning C4101: 'end' : unreferenced local variable2>..\..\..\code\game\wp_saber.cpp(13703): warning C4101: 'start' : unreferenced local variable As for what everyone else wants... I'm not worried about it; They can take the final build of the code and change it about as they please.

Well I don't exactly know how to do it myself, seeing as this is from wp_concussion instead of wp_saber; It tends to give me error messages whenever I just paste the Conc Rilfe's code into wp_saber, as it's a weapon code. [EDIT]: @@eezstreet : Pay attention at 2:45

I probably won't be able to finish this due to my looking for a career at the moment. BTW @@eezstreet , there's nothing in the tutorial that helps me translate the concussion rifle to an actual Force power. I've scrolled through it once or twice before starting on this.

In the SWBF2 campaign, it said they stopped using clones altogether after raiding the cloning labs on Kamino, so that's probably why.

"Die, rebel!"

Need a character to base my new Force powers on if I'm going to make them... So yeah, which character would best fit as an endgame boss in the timeline Jedi Academy is set in, or after?

Using Force Destruction in Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was like making a grenade out of thin air, and then throwing it. Also, the method you described would only affect objects that the Lightsaber touches when you attack, which would only be effective as a "Saber Sling" from The Force Unleashed.

@ A combination of the three would be so much win...

At the moment, I'm working on Destruction. Problem is, I have no idea at all how to translate "wp_concussion.cpp" into "wp_saber.cpp" . As of right now, the only time it "does" work, is when I click Mouse1 in a certain spot on the map, and npcs will indeed try to push it back, but it's like the Disruptor Rifle's firing function: Once you fire, there's no stopping it. Even when it "explodes" on a surface, it never plays the missile's FX, or the explosion's FX either; It just damages whatever is within the blast radius of the spot I clicked on.

I can't seem to make it fire in the direction that I'm facing, or make it play it's actual missile FX, instead of the FX for the flechette rifle's main rounds.

I'm having second thoughts about Stasis... Feel like I should put in Valor instead, but I dunno.

This is SP, just so you know... At the moment, I'm having trouble with making it actually fire off a projectile.

Blind: I want to use the code for Mind Trick, except make it to where it hits multiple people and doesn't deactivate when you attack someone. Stasis: Like Grip, except I want it to hit multiple enemies at level 3.

Out of all the things I could learn, I'd say modeling since that's my weak point.

I suppose you could grip multiple people if you hold down the "Use" button before gripping, like TFU1. EDIT: Btw, it's different from the SP Grip; different lines of coding.

What about the SP version of grip?

'Kay, now how do I make it so Grip can now lift objects?
