New XML2 NPC

[nodoubt_jr]

So far I added these for goblin queen (in theory)

Teleport (not a move, just hit jump twice)
Mental Dart (want to change projectile's effect)
Telekinesis
Mind Control (with skin change) <Thanks for the idea nodoubt>
Amnesia (Nullifies ememies powers for a time)

I want to add

Space Warp Inferno (Minus the space and cause mental damage)
A radial move
A paralysis move (have to find the status for it)
Spawn Demons
Xtreme (Dunno yet)

Possibles:
Boost: Mental Link?
Boost: Invisibility (possibly because she has the power to block her presence out of others minds)
Boost: Psionic Shield

great ideas, so are you making a npc or a fully playable character.  Cause she looking to be one powerful boss, cant wait to fight her.

[matt710]

Thanks.  She is going to be a boss (no passives) but it would be so easy to make her a playable.  Maybe in the future.  Do you know how to spawn yet?  Does bastion spawn sentinals?

[nodoubt_jr]

nope not yet, i was looking at a bunch of spawn scripts, but i wanted to work on something else, so i pushed that asside.

[matt710]

Looking at the scripts did you notice if it was an xtreme?

[nodoubt_jr]

yes its an xtreme, the weird thing is that Bastion's powerstyle has no power_xtreme. i'll get back to it later.

[matt710]

I just looked at it too.  I didn't see any reference to it either.  He only has 3 moves in the ps with no reference to the xtreme.  How about magnetos magnetic minion?  Does it have the same powers as him or does it just attack?

[nodoubt_jr]

this is what it says, and no it would not be the same powers, it would just attack.  My guess its probably just be a tougher defaultman, that would be good move, if you want them to just fight the heroes.  Once i figure out script we can have demons that spit out fire or demons that fly, but for now just physical attacking demons.

[matt710]

Ok I got her ps done.  Now I just have to proof it and get the effects I need for her abilities.  She has 2 xtremes (one with mental damage, one calls 4 demons), 3 boosts, and many attacks.  Incidently, I found out why professor x doesn't go invisible and will fix that when I get a chance.

[nodoubt_jr]

awesome. Cant wait, she totally needs her own battle, maybe you can add her along the way, like in Genosha or somehting.

on a side note, just started Quicksilver, he should be done by tonight.

[matt710]

Thanks.  Cool that your starting quicksilver.  I was wondering.  Do any of your npcs have sound?  I saw other character's sounds referenced and wondered if they worked.

[nodoubt_jr]

sounds, i dont really know i assume they do as other playable characters reference other sound files taht are not theres.  I never really notice sound as i always play it with the sound off.

[matt710]

Oh Ok.  I only say this because when I did havok I referenced bishop and ironman sounds, but that didn't work.

Quicksilver NPC

http://www.momoshare.com/file.php?file=1c6dbb2ba8599031250608659b2275d4

again another major game breaker, but fun in the dangeroom.  and again he already had a conversation hud head.



powers that Apocalypse steals


Slow Blast (this is meant to be seen like we can see him moving at high speed, while everyone else moves at regular speed, matrix stuff like)


and throws some shurikens at high speed (well not really, just use your imagination )




complete for now, he moves a little faster than other characters but i'll try to make him faster, (well when i figure out how).  Might add another power later on.

[ratmon]

It crashes but i think it my fault Where can i download quicksilver skin?

[nodoubt_jr]

it crashed? are you sure you did it right?  The skin should already be in the game.
