Another Video On Reinforcement Calling

We're suppose to make a sketch installation of our porosity study.

Continuing from the last video(I wanted to use vegas pro 9 to add the title overlays but it expired)

"Instead of just calling for reinforcements, I did some flowgraph tweaking and now the AI calls in an Airstrike of a cubist kind"

Reinforcement calling

From the Flowgraph test video,

this is a further developed reinforcement calling.

The S.W.A.T Analysis

Strength:

Using this flowgraph method we'll be able to get the AI to call in reinforcement

in a multitude of ways as shown in the above video.

Weakness:

Besides the enemy calling in more people to shoot you,

getting the AI to come the right time and by the right circumstances.

example: First having the AI to patrol and by spotting you lurking about call for reinforcements,

but what happens when he doesn't decide to call for backup instead shoots you first.

Opportunities:

Since it not only works for enemy AIs, we ourselves can call in our own backup.

examples: by using a radio transmitter, and having you're team parachute in to aid you.

Threats:

Probably along the way of coding all this in flowgraph you'll end up in a snag.

example: AI not following the right path without a Node.

Flowgraphing Around In Sandbox

The flowgraphs I used in the video was giving a parachute to an AI character which became my reinforcement.

2nd I used was getting the enemy AI to call for reinforcements by shooting a Flare into the the air.

3rd was spawning the reinforcements and getting into the car and driving to the help of the other AI.

Some Explosive Barrels

I carefully placed explosive barrels in a line all around the structure and well shoot one.....Boom!

Below are some Camera on track scenes and some "wall surfing" using the rope tool in sandbox

I Managed To Fix It

After some tweaking,tutorials and forum hunting.

I found a way to video something without using Fraps and to make such video smooth without the hiccups I've had in previous videos.

I will try to get a tutorial together after some test.

(EDIT: You can find the tutorial on the discussion forums)

This was done with some well placed C4 and a slow motion script from the crytek forums.

I'm still fiddling about thinking how to make the video explosive quality not choppy.

Test number 2.

And Test number 3.
