Author | Topic: Dog from Highland Fling
Phabius Phodes Member Posts: 581 From:Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 01-29-2002 09:06 AM Just played Highland Fling from TRLA again. What a wonderful level! One of the best atmospheres in official TR levels! Well, Remember a dog statue which becomes alive and turns into a real dog attacking Lara (at a stairway which leads to the big green pit). I would like to know how they did that. Maybe itīs a combination of dog trigger and flipmap. The statue could be an animating thing which is not visible in the flipped room, or itīs antitriggered to disappear, when the dog is triggered... IP: Logged

It may be a different number in TRLA, but I'm sure it's done the same way. ------------------ KingSpyder KingSpyder@thefreesite.com KingSpyder's World The Doctor Who Transcripts Project The Original Tomb Raider Conversion Project The Dark!

Phabius Phodes Member Posts: 581 From:Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 01-30-2002 08:40 AM Didnīt try yet but the OCB with number 3 for the dogs is for making they sit still until triggered, right? In Highland Fling, the dog statue seems to be another object, very different from the dog itself. The statue is light green (the dog is black). The meshes are not the same. I still believe in object swapping somehow. IP: Logged
KingSpyder Member Posts: 150 From: Registered: Feb 2001 | posted 01-30-2002 10:27 PM Hey, you're right! Sorry, it's been a long time since I played TRLA. Anyway, I just looked at a converted TR2WAD wad of this level and there is a dog statue object. So, here's a thought. What if it uses a mesh swap AND OCB 3? It could be setup so that OCB 3 would tell it to use the altenate mesh (statue) and then, when triggered, go to the moving dog. Think that's feasable? ------------------ KingSpyder KingSpyder@thefreesite.com KingSpyder's World The Doctor Who Transcripts Project The Original Tomb Raider Conversion Project The Dark!
