How can I make a conveyor belt??

[T-0NIC]

Has anyone an idea how to make conveyor belts like in the droid factory in Episode II? And how can I adjust the speed and the direction of them?

 

And PS: How can I make sparks and moving objects like a crane?

Sorry, but I don´t get what they all mean! Isn´t there a clearer tutorial??

Heh, sorry.

 

Just watch the last post in the thread. You need a trigger_push to make the player move on the conveyor belt. And you need a shader that animates the texture on the belt to seem it is moving.

And which shader shall I use?

[-Chrono_MOT-]

create your own scrolling shader. It's rather easy.

 

Here's one I used on one of my maps:

 

textures/testmap/scroll

{

{

map textures/testmap/scroll.tga

tcMod scale 0.1 1

tcMod scroll 0.2 0

}

}

 

You don't have to do the scaling, but the tcMod scroll is very important. The first line tells you how much of a percentage of the total size will move horizontally, the second is vertical.
