Modding questions

One of my dream ideas was to make an hengeyokai story, well not sure if it is possible with the engine, it was a bit complicated due to the discipline and also due to model

I know I have too many ideas.....

If you manage to get the model, it should be easy to implement as you said the logic of the killer is the same, only the model will change.

I don't know if the dialog is including this case.

But if you need help don't hesitate.

Done! But now he's stuck on that area, meaning ranged attacks can kill him without it being able to counterattack XD

If it is to change the map, I would make the table fall instead of having no collision, like having a fade and changing the display.

And put it back after the fight.

Just an idea.

There is a good news, there is a point_teleport in the map get_out that seems as soon as zygaena is damaged to teleport him.

I guess you can move it a bit on the side and test if it is unstuck, you can do it by changing the origin of the get_out with VPK Tool, it might require few try and errors.

After if you VPK the map you can introduce some object require to have the "scene", but you will need to change is dialog to call it or to manage it with a variable in dialog and launch it OnDialogEnd() (like the one below)

Here is the fade of the killer

{
"classname" "env_fade"
"targetname" "transform_fade"
"renderamt" "255"
"rendercolor" "255 255 255"
"duration" "0.01"
"holdtime" "1"
"origin" "-111.409 84.137 61.7845"
}

And the call is like this in python

#
def zygInDragonAngry():
G.Zyg_Angry = 1 //could be use in dialog or to check for errors in case of, not 100% sure about that
zygaena = Find("Zygaena")
fade = Find("Transform_fade")
fade.Fade()
zygaena.SetModel("models/yourpath/yourmodel.mdl")

But you can also use a params_particles for obfuscate

{
"classname" "params_particle"
"targetname" "obfuscator_particles"
"angles" "0 0 0"
"particle_definition" "particles/D_ObfuscateIn_Emitter.txt"
"attach_type" "1"
"origin" "1624.3 4684 -467.626"
}

In that case it would be for python:

zygaena = Find("Zygaena")
zygaena.SpawnTempParticle("obfuscator_particles")
zygaena.SetModel("models/yourpath/yourmodel.mdl")

After you can use a logic_relay instead of the full python call but you will need to call the logic_relay, it is up to you, the logic_relay, allow you to set the timing if you need some time between the steps, I usually prefer to decompile the map and set the logic_relay, cause I can play on timing then run it and copy the entity in the map but it is a matter of preference and how you feel confortable with hammer/python.

And you can add sound like angry line or people running around.

Don't hesitate in case of need.
