Yeah... well im not sure if any1 put this here or not but basically i thought of a way to create a halo shielding system. It is very basic.

1. You get 1 unit to be your main unit ex. Marine
2. you use a unit to hypertrigger move to the marines location. ex. Zealot move to marine location.
3. When the zealot is alive your marine is invincible. when the zealot dies your marine is uninvincable.
4. It will take a specific amount of time for your shield to recharge lets say about 5 seconds.
5. If you want a shield that isnt visible use a DT.

Advantages-
Cool shielding system
Like halo

Disadvantages-
May obstruct unit movement.
Enemy units may not attack the moving unit because of hyper triggers.

you can replace the shield with an observer. however this will not enable ground only units to attack.

Please post your comments/suggestions on how to better this system.

yea it might miss... if it keep moving so fast..

btw this has been known and used...

but thanks for reposting

i like the DT idea though didnt notice that i bet many other ppl did

so......make a character, when something comes to attack it, move allied computer dt that is unallied by your enemy next to character and make character invincible while dt is not, then when dt dies from getting hit, your character becomes uninvincible and his shield charges again?
would the dt come back after it gets 1 shield point back? if so, how will the bad guy attack the character then?

uh read it again...

its like make your unit invis create like a unit for you.. next to you... move it always next to your main unit.. but dont make that unit invis... and once that unit that your main unit turns back to nomral...

and the DT is its just cloaked...

so its like a cloaked shield...

so neither will be seen by the comp or unshared visioned humans? i think the invinc thing is better

trust me, I have a much better system coming up for my halo game. Let me get a screenshot.

Look at the minimap, that's how I'm displaying it. It regenerates and everything. It is a little glitched though. Check out the ammo!

Oh yeah, urmom! You showed me that! That wuz teh leat...

It's been used for Armor in Truer Diablo 2 RPG.

no the DT is just a cloaked shield... it works the same way..

HAH i got it a burrowed shield! maybe some1 already thought of this....

btw urmom how does your shielding system work? your marine is just invincible and there is a minimap bar.

it is a virtual health thing. it randomly subtracts life from the minimap as it would in the real halo. When there is no more shields left, it subtracts a block from the bottom one. the shields will regnerate fully after 5 seconds of not being attacked and the bottom health regenerates when you pick up a healthpack, as in the real halo.

wow tricky...

and this one yea someone already thought of it... as PC said
Truer Diablo 2 RPG used it which was a really good game but dont think he ever finished it which made me sad...

yes but since your marine is invincible how would he get hit?

the baddies dont hit the marine, they hit the dt

They hit burrowed lings

Ding ding ding

CrazyNinja00 is correct lol haha

everyone else got it wrong... well that's only o-0..... well good try..

i still think its the dt, even after reading through the whole thread

Well it could be Dt for the Dying Effect, but it would kinda slow down your character when you're moving

what about the shield effect thing

too bad u cant put shield on lings anymoer

shield effect as in using the ling as a shield while your main unit is something else....

the protoss shield showing when u damage it.....it shows and adds as an effect

oh well who needs that if you got a shield of flesh

Well for the breaking and recharging of the shield we can use an observer explosion? Im actually thinking of making a halo map but i will probolly give up on my own. any1 wanna help? Im thinking of making it a campain map with the ability to choose Campain or deathmatch.

eh more info and features and stuff then i might be interested
