Creating slippery surfaces...

[-Chrono_MOT-]

How do I do this? I can't seem to figure this out for the life of me. Please help ^_^.

Slick shader, I think.

[-Chrono_MOT-]

where can I find that at?

[Emon]

system/slick?

There's a funky shader in the Bespin texture set - its a vertical ribbed pipe shader that's very slippery - I used it accidentally on one of my early test maps and my characters were sliding all over the show like an ice-skating rink!

Use judiciously 'cos if used wrong (Like in my test map) can be really annoying!

also a yavin dirt texture has the slick tag on it heheh.... dunno why

[-Chrono_MOT-]

so it's all in the texture then, or I would have to apply it myself using the system->slick?

[~Rebel_Monkey~]

thats correct (i think...)

well, the system/slick texture is like clip, you put it just over the surface - it wont appear in game, but itll be slick when the player touches it

im assuming all this tho, ive never actually used it

perhaps it is used underwater? they prob want a slippery effect on the swamp bottom.

soo...you make a seperate brush for it and put the slippery on that?

[idontlikegeorge]

thats what im thinking.... or else youd have to edit the shader of the surface texture and give it the slick parameter; or find a texture with thhe slick param that fits your needs

 

yeah it probably is one for underwater or something.... didnt think of that - although it doesnt really look it, its like a hard dry dirt texture
