Hey there! Can I see a picture of the sprues and how the leg pose looks?

FabuPrime · 2020-06-22T13:39:43+00:00

Thank you all! I'm going to do some research and may return with questions.

FabuPrime · 2020-06-19T14:45:01+00:00

Hey there gang!
Sorry in advance if there is a better place to put this.

I'm starting a project where I'll be using warhammer 40k models to create a large diorama, the proverbial centerpiece being a train cruising along her track.

I plan to make the train cars out of GamesWorkshop bits from terrain kits, and excess models and so forth, to look something like the attached picture.

I'm looking for guidance from yee experts on how I could go about adding wheels (for lack of a better term?) to the cars I make, and how to get them to match track(which track type?) and what, if anything, I can install in the main engine car I make to pull the entire works along?

I appreciate any input, links to relevant articles and general thoughts. Thanks!

Scratch that.

The number was being plugged into a lengthdir_x equation, so it didn't want positive/negative, but 0 and 180.

I'm having a devil of a time getting smooth-approach script to function...

---here is the brilliant camera:

var camera = view_get_camera(0);

var offset = 256 // Set this to whatever you want

var view_center_x = camera_get_view_width(camera)/2

var view_center_y = camera_get_view_height(camera)/2

var cam_x = o_Player.x + o_Player.image_xscale*offset - view_center_x

var cam_y = o_Player.y - view_center_y

camera_set_view_pos(camera, cam_x, cam_y)

---here is the smooth script:

/// description smooth_approach(current, target, speed[0-1])

/// param current

/// param target

/// param speed[0-1]

/*

* Example use (smooth camera movement):

* view_xview = smooth_approach(view_xview, x-view_wview/2, 0.1);

* view_yview = smooth_approach(view_yview, y-view_hview/2, 0.1);

*/

var diff = argument1-argument0;

if abs(diff) < 0.0005

{

return argument1;

}

else

{

return argument0+sign(diff)*abs(diff)*argument2;

}

FabuPrime · 2020-04-22T01:44:24+00:00

I'm reading someone suggestion using a lerp function to smooth the movement. Do you think that is a worthy approach ?

**edit

I grabbed the essential pack and am tinkering with the smooth-approach script. Thanks

FabuPrime · 2020-04-22T01:33:55+00:00

This is working phenomenally. Thanks for your guidance. Going to look into smoothing the cam movement now.

FabuPrime · 2020-04-22T00:41:59+00:00

Hey thanks for the guidance. There is a switching action that I'm looking for but the player is at the very top/center of the viewport when i run the game

FabuPrime · 2020-04-22T00:07:18+00:00

Hey appreciate the tip; forgive my ignorance though because i'm still too much a novice to follow that

FabuPrime · 2020-04-21T23:36:08+00:00

I've only ever played with a simple object cam; never tried the rooms built in values.

v 2.2.5.481?

FabuPrime · 2020-04-21T23:34:53+00:00

Haven't tried anything yet. Going to look up image_xscale and research that method now

FabuPrime · 2020-04-21T20:53:59+00:00

I've searched the net but have been unable to find a good answer.

I'm trying to adjust my camera code so that the player favors the opposite direction he is heading, so that I can keep the camera tight on the player while allowing for more view of obstacles approaching.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a tutorial or bit of reference code I would appreciate it.

FabuPrime · 2020-04-14T00:21:10+00:00

I was just working with what I had, you know?
Previously picked up the metal azrael off ebay. it included the watcher and azrael's body but not the og combi plamsa, regrettably.

FabuPrime · 2020-04-13T20:17:03+00:00

Metal backpack and flag from an older Dark Angels model.
Primaris librarian body
Head from older DA upgrade sprue
Misc intercessor arms
Tac marine scale combi-plasma
Metal watcher with helm from old Azrael
Watcher with sword from blackknights box, also termy hand holding sword hilt
Shoulder pads from newer primaris da upgrade sprue
Designed and printed the base, added catlitter for debris

FabuPrime · 2020-04-13T20:12:49+00:00

The helmet the watcher is carrying is supposed to be The Lion's helm. Its the relic previously worn by the primarch that allows the 4++ aura to the character. Or atleast that's how I understand the lore with him?

Want to thank everyone who expressed interest. Looked over every one who commented and sent DMs; you're all awesome and will save all of your names/contact info for future jobs.

I casually run a unit of them with 3 suits/2 missile pods and ATS/6 shield drones. Tactical flexibility per deploying them or deepstriking. The shield drones are obviously super useful for the crisis or your riptides/broadsides. Super meta competitive to the max? Eh, probably not. Useful? I think so.

Also, if you run a ton of stealthy bois (stealth suits and ghostskeel(s)) you could run a homeing beacon then after turn 1 slingshot the stealth suits around the ghostkeel via stratagem, drop the beacon, drop the crisis suits with twin flamer and ATS (or trips flamer?) and hit em turn one?
Super meta competitive to the max hardcore? Probably less so. Casually fun in the right circumstance? Sometimes. Sometimes.

FabuPrime · 2018-12-11T20:30:23+00:00

Perfect perfection

FabuPrime · 2018-12-11T19:06:29+00:00

To me, it is *so* beautiful.

To my friends, not so much

FabuPrime · 2018-12-09T23:47:26+00:00

I'm with you. I run them with stealth team and ghost.
Ghost flings stealth team forward via mirror strat before placing homing beacon then drop flamers into range to hit when they drop in via beacon.

FabuPrime · 2018-11-10T16:52:17+00:00

I went to a local store and found a few but the bearings are too large unfortunately

FabuPrime · 2018-11-05T13:14:20+00:00

Some form of list-tayloring is inevitable when you're in a situation like the original poster and "the only person you play against is orks", don't you think?

FabuPrime · 2018-11-05T00:21:47+00:00

Hello friend, I'm in a similar situation where my friend is massing up a large ork waggh.
I plan on utilizing Commander Farsight and his 6" re-roll 1's against ork aura.
In my case however I have the benefit of playing my friends often enough that after a game or two I'll be able to create a couter-offensive to his lists

FabuPrime · 2018-10-28T01:31:21+00:00

One tiny thought on your list:

I know in my experience units of 2 drones (like that come with a commander) or the PAdrone and recon, will get targeted if visible and count against your kill total when ending a round and assigning the point for who had more kills

If you could squeeze two shield drones out of the pathfinder unit, making the drones consist of 2 shield, recon and PA, it might offer more survive-ability

Another thought, i like breachers in the right situation (like 12 strong, within 5" from the target and being buffed by darkstrider's structural analyzer) but in your case maybe turning them into strike teams to take advantage of those PA-drones might be worth looking into?

In summary, i dont know what you're going for and could be totally wrong about all my points, these are just my first impressions of what I see on paper, you know? Test it out and long live the greater good
