| 06:21.54 | DeadZergling | hi duckies , arcanepariah literally left 3 mins before you got on |
| 06:22.56 | duckies | thanks dz |
| 06:23.16 | duckies | well, maybe some day I'll stop being lazy and just look up for his tutorial instead :D |
| 06:24.24 | duckies | also, you've killed the joke dz t_t |
| 06:24.41 | DeadZergling | it was a bad joke, I honestly thought he was that stupid |
| 06:27.09 | duckies | the joke is, funky has been active in help forum helping out new people and a bunch of them when thanking and reffering to him call him by the clipped name. He seemed hilariously upset about it. So the joke was the continious misunderstanding due to mapsters crappiness that has been going on for weeks |
| 06:27.14 | duckies | v_v |
| 06:28.08 | duckies | and now we can't upset him anymere ,_, |
| 06:28.38 | DeadZergling | so I've stopped someone who is actually trying to help others in the forums from getting trolled |
| 06:28.48 | DeadZergling | It seems I've done a damn good thing by those standards |
| 06:28.52 | duckies | you're no fun ;_; |
| 06:32.19 | DeadZergling | Apparently I'm a little fun |
| 06:32.30 | DeadZergling | I got 1 like from ruining the joke |
| 06:33.35 | duckies | there is only 1 person who that can be .-. |
| 06:34.34 | DeadZergling | maybe, shows him as being offline for the last 13 hours. |
| 06:35.41 | DeadZergling | perhaps the real FunkyUserNarr is happy someone clarified the difference |
| 06:38.35 | duckies | :D |
| 06:39.06 | DeadZergling | by the way, you wouldn't happen to know the answer to my data question in the forums would you? |
| 06:39.56 | duckies | hm, have you tried offsetting the search persistent? Like create main persistent, then run the search+damage presistent at offset of say -9Y and +/- whatever X you need? |
| 06:40.27 | DeadZergling | i think it'd work if I wanted straight line lasers to start at different spots |
| 06:40.42 | DeadZergling | But I'm almost positive this would result in it still going in the -y direction from the caster only |
| 06:40.57 | duckies | yea |
| 06:41.04 | DeadZergling | is a 1-2 min attempt I can do, I'll have a look just to be certain |
| 06:41.53 | duckies | wait, you want it to not go straight from caster to offset location? |
| 06:42.12 | DeadZergling | right, I want more a W like pattern |
| 06:42.28 | DeadZergling | one straight (working perfectly), 2 others at like 30 degree angles off of that |
| 06:43.07 | duckies | oh, so all 3 lasers have different start offsets? |
| 06:43.29 | duckies | or they all start at the same point and go in different directions |
| 06:43.54 | duckies | | | | |

| 06:46.10 | DeadZergling | guyB |
| 06:46.39 | duckies | ok, guyB should work like I described if it works |
| 06:47.04 | DeadZergling | not only did it not work, it didn't even effect where the damage came from |
| 06:47.10 | DeadZergling | and I set it really off on purpose |
| 06:47.50 | *** join/#sc2mapster Necromoni (~Necromoni@190.197.80.114) |
| 06:48.38 | duckies | a main persistent at source point that runs three laser spread persistents at offsets of (+X; -Y), (0; -Y) (-X; -Y)., |
| 06:49.06 | DeadZergling | right, but the persistent is just using damage with a bonus |
| 06:49.26 | duckies | ooh |
| 06:49.52 | DeadZergling | it isn't multiple damages going on |
| 06:49.55 | DeadZergling | it is a single one |
| 06:51.06 | duckies | well, I have never worked with damage areas splash thing and its arcs. This would work with the method you refuse to do tho >.> |
| 06:51.24 | duckies | something something check impact points? |
| 06:51.25 | DeadZergling | from what I tried, it seems the offset not only didn't alter the straightness of the path, it didn't even alter where it happened from |
| 06:51.27 | duckies | idk :( |
| 06:52.20 | DeadZergling | I'm pretty familiar with persistents, search areas, etc, but adjusting angles of arc 0 searches, nope |
| 06:52.58 | duckies | I haven't even touched arcs beyond setting them to 360 for transient abilities >.< |
| 06:53.00 | DeadZergling | in other news, this game is completely ridiculous, a guy shoots ducks out of the air and they fall out of the sky and damage you |
| 06:53.44 | duckies | for the moment there I misread ducks as d*cks. that was indeed ridiculous |
| 06:54.11 | duckies | well, ducks are d*cks after all.. |
| 06:54.16 | DeadZergling | either one would be ridiculous, but in this case, it was riduculous |
| 06:54.42 | duckies | so you're saying you've got a duck model eh?!?!?!? |
| 06:55.00 | DeadZergling | naw, watching a guy play Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde |
| 06:55.35 | duckies | okay.. |
| 06:55.41 | DeadZergling | however, if I had a duck model, I'd use it |
| 06:56.28 | Bounty | worrd |
| 06:59.13 | DeadZergling | if I had more patience, ability, I could make a duck model, but best I could hope for is a square duck on wheels, lol |
| 07:01.06 | duckies | damn, I could make a more beliveable duck model attahing tinted sc2 shapes together (but I won't cause it's too timeconsuming) |
| 07:01.35 | DeadZergling | so in other words, no, lol |

| 18:47.48 | Bounty | DeadZergling, do you know how to slice models into multiple layers to allow for m3 exporting? |
| 18:48.04 | Bounty | For models that are lets say... way to big to export in their full state |
| 18:48.08 | DeadZergling | absolutely not |
| 18:48.20 | Bounty | kk, google time! |
| 18:48.30 | Rhavon | anyone available for a tutorial? I want to learn how to make an intro into my map. |
| 19:02.44 | DeadZergling | well, Rhavon, I would start by playing with cameras |
| 19:02.51 | DeadZergling | that is a lot of what intros boil down to being |
| 19:08.06 | Bounty | Mess around with Camera Objects @Rhavon |
| 19:08.25 | Bounty | In the terrain editor and apply them via the trigger editor |
| 19:15.15 | Rhavon | gotcha. I've been reviewing how the campaigns do it. A little confusing. Basically I want a flyby from my mining operation to the city. kinda like the prebriefs they do in mission |
| 19:16.49 | Rhavon | can you use the briefing setup from the campaigns in arcade mode? |
| 19:19.23 | DeadZergling | I'd just have Camera A and Camera B |
| 19:19.34 | DeadZergling | Start at Camera A, go to Camera B over X amount of seconds |
| 19:20.15 | DeadZergling | Add additional cameras in if you need to go in a less than straight line |
| 19:20.22 | DeadZergling | So A to B to C to D, etc |
| 19:20.23 | *** join/#sc2mapster Necromoni (~Necromoni@200.123.210.2) |
| 19:24.10 | Rhavon | okay. and I can add things like the highlighted recticle on objects to show their importance. I have 3 basic objectives. Defend the Colony, Escort Transports, Hold out until all civilians are evacuated. |
| 19:24.53 | Rhavon | Then during the mission (set time) I want other objectives to appear such as (destroy this zerg base) |
| 19:26.23 | Bounty | To highlight objects you want to send the actor message "Halo Start" to them |
| 19:26.25 | Rhavon | so I add a camera to the thing I want destroyed then pan to that location quickly with a small reveal area so the players know what I'm talking about. Just have to figure out how to stop all attacking waves, and all the other nonsense while that camera cut happens |

| 19:35.43 | Rhavon | Hello Dustin |
| 19:37.24 | Dustin|Work | hii |
| 19:40.00 | Rhavon | okay so cinematic mode.. if I turn it on (which is what I want, that kind of view with no UI). it says it turns off gameplay data and its catched. So I have to go into the cinematic module to pan from camera to camera and add my transmissions about objectives? |
| 19:43.28 | Rhavon | ah maybe what I want is a cutscene :) |
| 19:43.38 | Dustin|Work | yes it iss |
| 20:14.24 | DeadZergling | hey Dustin|Work , you wouldn't happen to know how to pull this one off would you? http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/development/data/82094-damage-search-line-at-an-angle-non-hacky/?unread |

| 21:24.14 | Necromoni | hmm so you want it to do a certain damage based on which beam hits or? |
| 21:24.35 | Necromoni | you should really keep technical terms out of the descriptions |
| 21:45.48 | DeadZergling | I want to make 3 separate damage beams, like in the picture |
| 21:46.12 | DeadZergling | the middle one is working perfect, but trying to angle it 30 degrees +- |
| 21:52.17 | *** join/#sc2mapster Raziel (~Raziel@cpc16-broo8-2-0-cust158.14-2.cable.virginm.net) |
| 21:58.22 | Necromoni | do the beams need visuals? |
| 21:58.52 | Necromoni | I did something like that for a cone vision system.. |
| 21:58.57 | Necromoni | but it was mostly hard coded so |
| 21:59.16 | Necromoni | like everything in data usually is |
| 22:00.31 | Necromoni | it would do the same things, so it would make a beam, thats stopped by unpathable terrain, and in my case it revealed the area but in your case it will do damage |
| 22:01.03 | DeadZergling | this is the odd case where I know exactly how to make the visual, but the data effect is the issue |
| 22:01.08 | DeadZergling | usually it is the reverse |
| 22:02.12 | Necromoni | I think what I did was, make a tree of persistents |
| 22:02.19 | Necromoni | which offset each other |
| 22:02.26 | Necromoni | the parent would spew 3 |
| 22:02.30 | Necromoni | and the children would spew one |
| 22:02.38 | Necromoni | over and over |
| 22:02.41 | DeadZergling | aye, I've done something similar |
| 22:02.43 | Necromoni | each offset by x |
| 22:02.52 | Necromoni | which searched constantly |
| 22:03.02 | DeadZergling | what I'm trying to avoid is 20-30 search effects per beam |
| 22:03.13 | DeadZergling | I want to do it in 3 damage effects and 3 persistents only |
| 22:03.54 | Necromoni | too bad theres no tube search effects |
| 22:04.11 | Necromoni | only cone |
| 22:05.32 | DeadZergling | yea, you can get a straight line of radius 15 using arc 0 |
| 22:07.35 | DeadZergling | what I'm aiming to do is get that straight line again, only +- 30 degrees from where the caster is facing |
| 22:07.52 | DeadZergling | dummy units are an option, but non preferrable |
| 22:09.18 | Necromoni | or you could do the tree in combination with the line searches.. just offset one additional persistent to fire off another search |
| 22:10.12 | DeadZergling | now all that makes sense to me, how to twist the damage to face that way is another, lol |
