ok im back after a long weekend, apparently we are doing deadlines now, but I don't really have anything to work on, so…
im just going to wait until the game releases and if anyone needs me to test some features to see if it's halo-y I can do it.

also i almost forgot about the melee component in the game, how will we do that.
(meleeing boosts you forward when an opponent is at least 2 feet in front of you)
We might be able to do that. If not, we can have it be more like CE, with no boost.

It’s called lunge.
Of course, can’t make it stupidly overpowered, so maybe like a foot in distance. Or for scale, if the player was holding a AR perfectly straight, if the player was touching the AR, he could be lunged at and melee’d,

that boost mechanic shouldnt be too hard - we can do pythag to get distance and snap to the player if its in range… clashing melees would maybe cause some problems though
we'd need to code a whole bunch of collision and physics scripts.

Here's what I'm thinking about collision.

when I receive [melee receive v]
if <(meleeattack)=(1)> then 
bounce off
else
take melee damage
end

When meleeattack equals 1 it should stay on for 1 second.
It also triggers the physics when you get hit.
I forgot to give the original script for melee

when [q v] key pressed
if <(opponentrange)= (2)> then
set [meleeattack v] to [1]
glide (.50) secs to x: (enemy-x) y: (enemy-y)
switch costume to (melee v)
glide (1) secs to x: ((enemy-x) - (2)) y: ((enemy-y) - (0))
else
switch costume to (melee v)
end

I haven't tested this, nor will I ever rest it. It shouldn't work, I'm just giving you an idea about what we should do.
Hopefully this helped!

so I think the gliding part of that would be not very natural looking, I think we need to add the actual vectors into the platformer engine for that.

in halo infinite, the lunge distance is 4 meters, which is pretty far. i think we need to reduce that. but it depends on the map size

I mean, we don’t measure distance based on meters, rather we have “x” points. For reference, the Forge project “X Cam”

dont blame us for not talking to you after you've been gone for 6 months

That seems like an easier idea, I vote yes. But how do we measure player distance ITSELF?
Do you just measure x points between the two sprites?

No, just kinda busy replying. Nothing much has happened other than we’ve gotten some new skyboxes, semi-fixed the Forge project, got a new armor customization system(just showcasing all the armor pieces), new 30fps anims, Olympian Art, Loading screen, grunt art, fusion coil art, game cover art, and elite art. We also have some game mode concept art, new animation software is in a good shape, and that’s it. If someone else wants to add something, go ahead.

Yeah. We would have to play test it a bit though. Find a value that is good and feels right. We would also need to bring y values into account, and find the distance with the Pythagorean theorem.
Like if an enemy is 10x away, but the y distance was 5, then the ACTUAL distance would be 11 pixels(or whatever it is).

But the

(distance to [ v])

block already takes this into account, so I'm ranting for no reason.

I should get back to Roblox Studio

You’re on.
We need some for a forest level, new Sanchez, flood facility, and Innie base.

done they ca be edited to your hearts content i think a lite motif for them would make sence https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/695818239/ just look it the sounds tab in the cat

MBP117

its just 1 song but if you dont want a leitmotif for the songs just ask me

Jareddddddd

that sounds alot more like I melody to like an easter egg area, we could use that for that

So i think that once someone starts doing something, me, Crush, Vik, or Toss can give them a deadline. If it isn't done by the time of the deadline, whoever was working on it should share what they did with comments in the code explaining what does what. After that they can keep working on it, but they can also let someone else work on it if they're fine with it.

My two cents.
sounds good to me.
Ye It sounds like a nice idea
So everyone to work.
what happened to the jackal that i was working on?
You tell me.

oh thats my fault it got left in the dust

Notice: I have nit been online for a bit because of EOG's and I have to take a 5 hour course for the ones I failed and retake it. I was 1 point from passing both of the tests I failed. I will not be on for a bit.
