[QUESTION] Tracer Opacity

3,323 JustWingIt  2.2 years ago

I’ve been looking around for ways to make an energy shield, and I’m pretty sure you can use guns to make it work. Problem is, the shield would be opaque. For my project, I need the shield to be partially transparent. Is there any XML code or any other way to make a gun tracer partially transparent? Any help would be appreciated.

    @JustWingIt i have started working on the jaeger but while i was working on it my pc blue screened, so all of my data is gone. Ive lost motivation since then. If you do finish the Ao Jun before i finish my jaeger, please dont wait to upload it!

    @idontknow8b Also, have you started working on the Jaegar? Its ok if you haven't, but I'm getting awfully close to finishing the Ao Jun.

    @idontknow8b I'm hopeful about 2 weeks. I got the head and camera to work just like it does in WR, but I'm having some trouble getting phaseshift to work with my new modifications. We'll see what I can do. I'll probably post the unlisted version today so you can try it out!

    @JustWingIt awesome! Seems like a great plan you have! So maybe you could be able to get it out in the next 2 weeks!

    @idontknow8b I was considering this, but the problem is that the shield would be tiny and wouldn't look right. I think I'm just going to make a frontal gun-powered sheild. Also, I was able to get the ao jun to turn its head by dragging the screen like in wr, and I made it faster. But now I've got a whole other round of kinks I have to work out. Yay for complicated SP builds. Woooo. Maybe I'll finish the model/flight drive soon, and then it should be all downhill from there. I'll try to work on it every day. Probably 1 day to fix the head turning and phaseshift, 2 days to finish the mothership/drone stuff, another 2 days to finish the model, 2/3 days to make the flight drive, 1/2 days to finalize stuff and a day to create my post. I'm optimistic about how this will turn out. I'll post the latest unlisted version in a few days.

    @idontknow8b for glow they could use the emission on paint

    You could use glass instead. You could disable mass, drag and aircraft collision so it can pop out from the main body almost instantly. You can use pistons to push the shield out, and for the shield to glow you can use basic lights set to dim and colored blue/yellow.
