Locked door? No problem... (Destructable doors video)

[Emon]

Here's a movie I made in JO with cl_avidemo that demonstrates some destructable doors I made. You'll need the DivX codec to view it. You also may want to do a "Save Target As..." instead of trying to stream it.

The first method I thought could be used for jammed doors. It could open partially, then close, requiring you to blast it open.

 

The second one is supposed to simulate how Qui-Gon melted through the blast doors in Episode I. With some nifty ICARUS scripting, I could make it so that when the door is activated, the player sticks his saber through it and you can watch it melt (like a cutscene but with no new camera views).

 

With some trickier scripting I might be able to allow the player to do it on his own.

Then drag and drop or cut and paste it into your address bar or download manager.

Would it be like Hit it backstab on it or flip backstab around to front? So u tap it does some melting but whne its not touching it will be left there say half melted to either u or someone else to come back and finish the melting?

Sounds cool i hope someone makes a map wiht it

1. I plan on using it in my SP maps when I eventually work on them.

 

2. I would probably play portions of the circle saber lock animation, they are very close to a stab.

Very interesting, I hope some mappers take this little trick into account...
