Mapping: Setting up Objectives

[frvge]

Hi all,

I'm very pleased to show you the first glimpse of some custom PS Editor nodes in action. This time, it's about Objectives. We've abstracted the concept of an 'objective' away from the general 'hack a PC/place a bomb/extract a disk' kind of gameplay to give level designers a powerful tool for creating custom scenarios.

Without further ado, I'd like to present you:

Mapping: Setting up Objectives Dev Diary (62 MB, 7:21).

Enjoy!

Good video, but something's in the video that looks very jittery? It's not very smooth.


But none the less, awesome stuff!

Good tutorial, making a objectives looks so easy. I like hacking animation and I think you fixed running animation a bit? ;)
But that blur while running it's so annoying ( same thing is in UDK ), it will be disabled ingame?

BTW. Stick all Mapping tutorials somewhere like Milestones in closed topic to make them visible and easy to use for people. :P

Also, I think there should be a download button for the video? Hmmm?

[frvge]

Just right click, save as.

Cool!

What can you do with the interracted and interrupted options?  Is there a way to make the objective timer go back to its original time after each interraction or interruption?

Still waiting for the bomb and disk objectives...  8)

Those are not 'objectives', but interactables, like the hackable PC, a keypad and a button. Once the action is 'complete' you can 'succeed' an objective if you want to.

Looks simple enough :3

What's a flipboard challenge?

An internal gametype. It's basically what you do in the CoD4 ship training mission, only instead of wooden enemies, you have real models to shoot (both friendlies and enemies). At the end you will get a highscore.

The node as it is in Kismet allows you to make these kind of levels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv__IHdS-cY (skip to 1:10).

I would like to use this. Right meow!

Aside from that, the video was really well done! Intro was nice, explanations were informative, and the examples were varied and practical without trudging on for minutes rehashing the same mechanics. Altogether great. Make more of these.

Are there going to be anymore REALLY soon? Or is that just 1 per month?

We have at least one other non-mapping planned first. Time will tell.

Being Non optomistic for a moment :

Ya time will tell when the earth shatters to a billion pieces , then its to late. =/

Seriously I hope we get to see the entire project out before an apocolypse happens / or at least before I die.

Only 1 video after so long?!

Jesus Project Stealth is falling apart, what happened to all the big tick tocks with ETA's and data chunks that would look like a whole A4 page? :(

Agent@ How on earth did you manage to spell "Optimistic" to "Optomistic" when it's in your Location?!?

We're trying to get one vid out per week now. But we have some problems with the Merc. I think I can make another Spy vid this weekend :).
