Bots Dancing

Dghelneshi

<div class="IPBDescription">Snälla NS2 PLZ</div>Hey.

During my (failed) development of a client-side first person spectator mod, I required special bots to test some things. After a while I noticed their movement was kinda rhythmical, so here's what came to my mind:

<center><object width="450" height="356"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eWUQa1bFeU4"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eWUQa1bFeU4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="356"></embed></object></center>

Enjoy! (Sorry for failing with the aspect ratio conversion.)

Edit:
In case anyone is interested, here are the bots and colored flashlights as a mod: <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61111963/crouchBot.zip" target="_blank">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61111963/crouchBot.zip</a>
This isn't the exact version I used in the video, but very similar. They are still performing the same moves as they were during the spectator system development, I didn't specifically tune them for dancing apart from minor tweaks.

Music is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3C_DoHe2qw" target="_blank">Slagsmålsklubben - Snälla TV PLZ</a>. Their music video is even more awesome than this.

Haha amazing, love what you did to the flashlights. There should be a flashlight disco mod like this :D.

That was amazing. Maybe colored flashlights could be NS2's partyhats?

(For those who don't know, all the characters in Team Fortress 2 automatically gets party hats on TF2's birthday/release day)

Don't be silly. That's not possible with lua code.

Edit: also I certainly hope you didn't code souls for them, what with that whole shooting them part.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

I think ghosts should come out of marines and dance(instead of marines)... you can then try catch them and use them like bonus xp, resources, health or whatever -> implement this into combat mod then. :P
