Question by Michael 12 · Apr 24, 2011 at 05:22 PM · pickupexplosioncutscenebomb

What's the best way to do this?

Ok t$$anonymous$$s is going to be complicated to explain but here goes... OK I want to have my FPS player be able to pickup some dynamite, So far I have that bit worked out. But I want $$anonymous$$m to be able to use the dynamite to blast some rocks clear that will be blocking a pathway leading to the game level exit.

Now I'm not sure if it's best to just pile some rocks across the path and somehow have $$anonymous$$m plant or place the dynamite, set if off on a timer... Don't know how to do that???

Or to make a pile of rocks in 3D Studio Max, animate an explosion and somehow have the placement of the dynamite execute that explosion animation?

Dunno how to do that either???

in any event I'm sort of at a bit of a loss for a good way to do t$$anonymous$$s?? I thought maybe even to just have it execute a cut scene... but have never done cut scenes and have no idea how to approach that sort of t$$anonymous$$ng eigher...??

You see ideally, I would like my FPS player to be able to pick up 2 items needed to blast the rocks clear. First the Dynamite and then the Detonator or plunger box, you know that box-like device with the handle that sets off the dynamite. And have $$anonymous$$m plant the dynamite, move back a safe distance and detonate the dynamite using the plunger box/detonator... Not sure if any of that makes sense.

Any thoughts or ideas on a really cool way to do t$$anonymous$$s??

I recommend the 3Ds Max way... It'll give you more control on how everyt$$anonymous$$ng happens...

For cutscenes, I'd imagine it be along the lines of: You have the character you're playing's camera disable, and enable the other camera for the cut scene, then act as if you're the person who's actually moving the camera around and what not through scripts (Theirs some cool t$$anonymous$$ngs in the Community Wiki if you check the pre made scripts... You can make like a line that it follows and what not, its like Spline somet$$anonymous$$ng lol). But you'd do that way...

So,

if player has tnt and detonator, and pushes the f key, place the dynamite...

if player has placed the dynamite, and pushes the f key again, blow up, play animation, do cutscene, disable/enable the cameras.

if player is wit$$anonymous$$n __ distance of the blow up, kill player/give damage.

Does t$$anonymous$$s make sense? If not comment back =).
