Warcraft FPS

[Formula1]

This has been a continued Idea... But I think It has too much potential to leave alone...

The attached maps are parts of what I think would be essential to the game....

-Jump
-Scope Aiming System
-Red arrow system without changing turning angles...

This is a map that I'd like to hear some ideas on... added parts...

I'm thinking..........
1) The ASDW would replace the arrow keys in terms of movement
2) Spacebar zooms in
3) Arrow Keys is rotate up, down, left and right
4) C is to fire

Just like halo...
-THe rotates will be too extreme so people will have to fine tune with the actual movement....

I'm also thinking though if it would be possible to use the mouse as the aiming and firing system....

Just tell me what you would want....
Besides not laggy arrows...........

Sounds pretty good. Would love to hear more from it.

Maybe a gun 'model' that you hold right infront/next to you like in other FPS's, if you shoot, the gun shoots and has the necessary animations.

Most definitly

Also, Since we can effect a weapons rotation, We can easily add in blowback and Handtremble

And to simulate accuracy we set the actual shot taken between a random number between the accuracy given to the rifle

Thus, Making the gun have pretty much the same things as an actual gun

Make it effect running speed
Give ducking "Metamorphasis" Spell
Give a Melee attack spell (Shows a person kicking, add in small blowback and effect a persons current aim to something different)

All of without actually needing to target people with a shockwave spell or something

I'm also trying to figure out if there should be a Sheild...
-But I need to figure out the math for it...

Different weapon varieties and switching (ie: counter strike). As well as head shots ect. FPS in warcraft are not generally the greatest as you could just get Half-life or something. . . so I don't really get the point. Sure it's free but it's also crappy in comparison (no insult intended). Anyways I suppose it is plausable but it seems kinda impractical

I'll help with this if it ever gets off of the ground

Eh... I could See it being as good...
People have made headshot systems...
Also there have been physics enines created... (I can't remember the site... but it has bounce [including horizontal], as well as a whole bunch of other things)
And since there are no real Animation differences asides from the Portal Gun... Its all pretty much the same...

Its more the added convienience... Of not needing to leave warcraft to play a different game... but rather just being able to choose a different map to host or enter...

It can be as good... the physics engine and jass is all there...
Its all about looking at the aspects of other games and making sure we're recognizing everything involved...
-If we didn't think of something... tell us... and we'll look to fix it...
--We can have updates... More updates then a commercial game... and make spells simple so we would only have to make one spell for 12 players...

Set spawn points....
Create Different Weapons...
Make it Mouse Able...

There are many things that can be done...

Aight... I'll make a Concept Map as soon as I can that has the following features
1) WASD Movement (I already have it)
2) Space Bar Camera > to Mouse position Change (I'm not sure if this is possible though since you can't detect where a cursor is)
3) First Person Camera (I already have it)
4) Pump action shooting mech (I'm just going to have to change a weapon to where the arrow points... and a few other things.....)

Single Shot-Right in front of you
Shotgun-Random Number Generator
Grenade Launcher-Follows Gravity

Theres a bunch of things That i can do and I'll do....
-The plans pretty much in front of you... Feel free to make additions....
--Think of it like spellcraft... It might be incomplete... but You can give it to someone else if you can't complete it....

Thats what I plan on doing...
Do as much as possible....
Then give the system to someone else if I can't continue...

 

[hellclown]

will this require any custom models?

Nah... But If we put in custom models we might be able to change them up a lot....
-I'd also Like to do something ALong the lines Of the Goliath Model in Starcraft...
--One on top that ca change angle, One below that doesn't....

If your gunna help... take your time... no rush....
Or you can rush.... And enjoy it....

Either way... theres no real end to this project....
ANd I don't want you to get impatient and give up...
