I've been working on a replica of the halo shielding system, and I finally got it to work. It works in both single player and multiplayer. The wad itself is just a simple room with a switch that damages you so you can test the shielding effects. (Sorry, I'm a god awful mapper and couldnt really come up with much for monsters) Please post your feedback on this concept. The more the merrier.
Also: I'm beginning to work on the concepts twoard useable vehicles in doom, more on that later 8)

EDIT: This mod is DONE, and has been done for a long ass time. I was just too lazy to update this thread.

Heh, make them dispenseable, like from some sort of shield pod gun.

This is pretty neat. It wasn't clear at first what port this was for, though...

Not bad at all, but some of the scripting could use a little bit of work... for example, the "shield health" message is blinking (could probaly be fixed with a small duration change). Also, the "checking health" message should be a hudmessage, NOT the print(); command, because using print floods the console.

Nice system, but is it possible to make it work faster? Rockets tend to kill a sheilded player where they wouldn't to a soulsphered player.

When I blew myself up, I died, then gained 100 health.

EDIT: Nevermind, I accidentally did something stupid (gave myself a soulsphere with the END key)

Heh, it's really inefficent right now. I'm gonna revamp it when I get some time. It needs a lot of work... BAD.

I'm gonna add a few things that'll make it really cool, and enhance gameplay a bit. Don't worry, it'll all kick ass. :D
