I was playing Tremulous when i noticed how the aliens could climb on walls and roofs. is there anyway to do that in Dim3?
( sorry, this is probaly the easy thing to do, but i cant script well, only very simple things )
Heh heh, sorry to disappoint, but not that I know of.
Theoretically, could it be done? Yes. Would anyone want to do it? I think not.
Cause it would be a bitch.
Theoretically, could it be done? Maybe.
Would it be playable and fun? I doubt it.
Would it be worth all the effort? Absolutely. Not.
Can you make a fun game anyway? Certainly.
I made a small test map once, where the player crawled around as a spider-like alien that could jump 5 meters high and had a special attack through which it could thrust forward in mid air at an incredible speed and jump into enemies that way. Except there were no enemies. It was also able to spit green acid that would leave glowing splashes everywhere...
Maybe I should continue that game one day...
Yes, you can do that very easily. Double click any wall segments that should be climbable and set climbable to true.
He's talking about walking on walls and ceilings. Like Spiderman.

That's NOT possible. Except with a
lot of scripting. And it's not worth it.
ok, i guess not, mostly because everyone said it wouldnt be fun, and partly, im horrible at scripting. oh well
I believe that if it is truly something you think would be a worthwhile addition to your project, then you should pursue that goal regardless of the effort involved; I myself am attempting to implement many different things that would likely be very difficult to do at present time.....
Just because something is overly difficult doesn't mean one should not implement it, it just requires more effort.
not that, but everyone in this thread said it would be a bad idea. and i was just going to make a little game, aside from my project, to get to know dim3 better. it doesnt really matter
EDIT: cccc, the climbable thing is only in dim3v2.5.... and im not really going to use it until v2.5 is finished...
