ARK: Survival Evolved

Pokeballs - Dino Storage (Discontinued)
Off topic question
Hey aleksey, this is super off topic, but I couldn't find a mod that did this, so I figured I'd ask the modder I know best :P

how hard would it be to turn this guy:

into this guy:

I mean like, just basically add rapid fire lasers on the arms of the defense unit and the ability to activate a shield that surrounds it like the droideka. Thanks in advance for your feedback ^-^

No worries Drath. :) Unfortunately, I'm not really sure. In terms of modding dinos, I've never done it before, so I'm unsure of all of the nuances one must learn. I can answer better most likely after I start work on the Pokemon attacks and such from Pokemon Allstars.

The shield is definitely doable. I can map out how that would work in my head before even being in the editor. The rapid fire lasers would likely be separate weapons that you equip to the dino, via saddle. Perhaps this could be similar to the Tek lasers on Sharks and T-Rexes? I'm a little shaky on those parts though.

By the way, I've added you as a friend because you've been super helpful to the mod and answering questions of the various users asking. This makes me lean more and more towards having a Discord server set up for this mod. Not sure how manny would join though.

Thanks again for the reply and friend :D

Glad to help out with the mod. This mod makes my day every time I use it. Its just such an awesome concept, and so much fun to use.

Oh yeah, you should know the defense unit has no saddle or costume slot.

No problem! That should still work. I believe even if the model had guns edited onto it, you could place sockets in the skeleton where the shots would be fired from.
