messbk Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have seen the outstanding work from the inventive minds on this forum and use quite a few of the projects from here. With that being said, is this possible or am i just pipe-dreaming? Lightsabers use a color crystal, 2 power crystals, a lens, power supply and an emitter. correct? Why (and can it be done) do double lightsabers not have 2 lens and 2 emitters ? In theory the power supply is positioned in the center of the hilt. Since it is supplying 2 beams, don't both have to utilize the basic components of a normal lightsaber in either direction? The possibilities boggle the mind. Is there a way to do this within the parameters of the game engine? Just something to chew on for the weekend. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevanA4 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 err that is impossible to achieve cuz the upgrades are hard coded as far as i can tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 As said above it is impossible, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messbk Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 Thats too bad, I was just reaching for straws here But wouldn't it be nice to do?? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 That would be cool. I would love if you could choose to activate just one side or both like Darth Maul's sabre. The closest we'll get is the sabre ChAiNs.2da made that can be used as one double blade or two single bladed. I still don't know how he pulled that off.

MUWAHAHAHA well...to be honest, it's not that grandios.. remember, it's me we're talking about @messbk Unfortunately what everyone is saying is true, though I like how your mind works. Keep coming up with ideas like that and you're bound to find one that TSL's "slack-code" will actually allow you to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver619 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Well, there is always the option of making new upgrades specifically meant for a double-sided lightsaber that simply have twice the attributes, and maybe some customized ones with combination of attributes. The only issue would be making them double-bladed lightsaber only upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChAiNz.2da Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Originally posted by Shadow Blaze Where is that at? I haven't seen that one. It's part of the USM The BA-122 Prototype Break-Away Saber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Blaze Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Originally posted by ChAiNz.2da It's part of the USM The BA-122 Prototype Break-Away Saber AH!!! That is what I was thinking too. Knew it had to be in the USM. I didn't know the breakaway saber did that although it would explain the "breakaway" bit of the name lol. I would like to know how you did that ChAiNz although you probably will keep that to yourself until after the USM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the USM is released everything will become all too apparent, it's nothing major... trust me But I think we've hijacked messbk's enough... I'd rather try to help him either find a way to accomplish what he's wanting to do, or at least a viable substitute to "mimick" the effect...

The only issue would be making them double-bladed lightsaber only upgrades. I think Guyver619 is on to something, or at least a great start... The easiest "scapegoat" would be just typing in the description "use only for doublesabers" worded better of course... but that's not really a concrete option... I haven't really looked hard in the upgrades.2da or itemcreate.2da's to see if there's a limiting function, but that might be a route to check...
