Halo Shielding System with MP compatibility. UPDATED

[Apothem]

I've given this code out kinda under the radar, and after giving it out last time, I said I'd release a public version. Out of any script I've made, this one gets used more, next to the HP Bar. So, here it is, the Halo shielding system. Complete with MP compatibility in ZDoom and Skulltag. You are also able to customize it a bit and put in your own custom armor types etc for any other special effects you'd like to try. You are free to use this, but please credit those who deserve it.

EDIT: updated the code.

This is cool. Now I just wish Caligari would show up and finish all the Halo weapons. ;P

[Xaser]

Well, hell! You've gone and reminded me that I never finished/posted my improved version of your HPbar script. Ack! :i

I've played with old versions of these but I'm interested in giving it a try again. Sounds cool!

You and me both! I think that project has long since been dead and buried. I happened to procure the beta of it, but unfortunately it only has 3 guns. Where on earth is Caligari_87 when you need him? We need to get him working on it again.


@Xaser: Thanks. This is going to be a piece of the other project I'm working on. You'll be able to level it too and make it like 3x as resilient.

[Xenaero]

You know, this is actually cool as hell. I'm thinkin' outside the box on this one. It doesn't have to be halo specific!

Pretty sweet though, man.

[Apothem]

I appreciate that. I tried to make it as flexible as possible, so you can potentially apply that system to a monster too! I haven't tried it yet tho...

[Unknown_Assassin]

This could be pretty useful for insane mass monster wads like Nuts.wad. Good job on this.

He's got limited access to the computer, or so he stated a few months ago before ZD-RPG died again. I think it was every week or two he gets a chance to have a quick look around, though it may even be a month.
