im almost done with my fist map and i need help hoe do you insert spites in to the world and how do you make tank fire do damage to you

figured out the damage thing but still cant ad AI to map its a DM map need help

Creating AI in Dedit can be complicated. I haven't taken a look at DEdit in a while and probably should later on this week. The fact that it runs so slowly on my laptop is what's been keeping from using it. If there was a working Maya 8/9 import/export script it would be a lot quicker for me to use it.

I haven't worked with de-edit much but I do recall someone attaching what I'm calling "AI behavior models" model attributes for The AI to mimick the actions of whichever character, the language I'm giving may not be accurate but it's all I can remember without opening up de-edit and asking people who will help me also. I'm a little surprised nobody has described something that would help you. good luck!

Let me know when you need a beta tester.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you vman just finisd puting a datawrath in my map now if i can figure out the random spawner

hit a few bumps gona take some time to fix maby i will give what i have and you can change it or make sugjestions?

hmmmm how do i send a file to some one on here???? i will give you 4 all visions i have at diferent stges of development and see what you think about the general liknes of it and if you can fix or change somethin you can if you have segestions you can tell me here or pm but here would work beta becous every one can read it

For tank fire I vaguely remember there being a object you could add to the world that was basically just the tank's turret. You could set variables on its firing/traversing speed.

im sorry for the delay will send pm's tonight having personal problams

Hey tron_man, I just looked at your map, it's ok for a first map.. since all I have to compare it to are existing maps, I'll just say it like it is.

the maze you made is very two dimentional. For a simple map full of boxes and like a maze, well, it's a start atleast.
It kinda reminds me of wolfenstein 3D - sorta.

Need a suggestion? hehe

I'll give you a map idea that may fit into what you like, as well as me.

I like to jump and shoot at destructable boxes, and if you want to make it 3 dimentional you need to make that thing about 6 or seven stories. 2 boxes per story.

Widen the halls to double what they are, make it a little bigger, add destructable boxes through half of it, so that when enemies or whatnot are shooting at you it's like major eye-candy. and you can still dodge them.

Make some open rooms, not just a hallway, enough for some melee, and obstacles.

Make the boxes for each level different colors, They could stay a consistent color, if possible they may switch around occasionally. blue, black, purple, black, cyan. or something like that. (consecutive from 1st to 2nd and so on)

In a room central to the map, make a stack of disk arena style rings at the floor level, so that players can mix it up in there, even fall through the bottom to a tough puzzle, or to a derez zone of your liking.

Things that seem cool in a map made of mostly boxes can be really cool, if you design something no-one expects.
