That reminds me of one of the renders in the freespace story series. The green and red beams clashing with a neat effect at the point of contact. And the Knossos in the background.

I'm sure someone knows what I'm on about.

[WMCoolmon]

This one?

If you want to be chased by explosions, why not make a very small, cloaked object and place them in the tunnel in a line. SEXPs can then be used to explode them sequentially and I think that the explosion damage can be set for each object, so you can take your Millenium Falcon out through an explosion and not be hurt too much.
If that feature doesn't exist already, ask the nice people who are thrashing the source code to add features to set the explosion size (and time) without using shockwaves and possibly to change the time taken for a ship to disintegrate after it goes to 0% health.

I like that idea!

The first would be hassle, and the second would take time, but I'm sure it could be done.

Incedentally, you can instantly vaporize a ship by sabotaging the hull subsystem 101%. Useful for superlaser impacts.

My suggestion would be come at it from a different angle, have the same major events as in the films, but for the love of god, DONT TRY TO BE LUKE!

It think the it will work best not as a 'Wannabe luke' game, you guys probably have been running through this idea already but i didnt look over the whole forum, so sue me

*goes again*

Ummm guys ... I think he means basically ,... don't try to play the MAIN movie out.

I mean ,...with what....TWO ENTIRE FLEETS,...I think there's plenty of things to do OUTSIDE while the falcon is blowing up the DS2


"Concentrate all firepower on that Super Stardestroyer"

Hmmmm Primary Objective 1: Take out Shield subsystem of Executor ?

Secondary Objective : Sit back and watch litle A Wing slam into Executor....causing the Bridge Crew to **** themselves before dying.

The story of what happened outside during Lando's attack could be quite dramatic,... and saves the whole "doing the DS2 tunnel and such.  But if you guys do try the tunnel ... I'd suggest the method XWA did. Missions outside leading to a mission that starts in the tunnel.

Or you could have the player be the A-wing that crashes...

Eh?  I've been messing around with GE's fused Karnak, and I tried blowing it up while I was still in the central chamber.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

And I don't think that destruction time is tied to mass - I think it's tied to the amount of damage the explosion causes, or something.  Otherwise, why does it take so long for the Karnak reactor to explode?

As far as explosions chasing you up the tunnel... if you want to use the SCP, I'll be adding an explosion sexp soon that can be set off anywhere, any time you want to.  You can have it consistently 10m behind the player if you want.

[Hudzy]

Now that sounds good

[Killfrenzy]

Goober, I tried it with a big cube with a tunnel - I didn't make it out in time and the thing blew up with me still half way out.

I was slamming into INVISIBLE things!

[Goober5000]

Hmm.

Weird.  Probably the best solution is to self-destruct the player if he doesn't make it out in time.

[Killfrenzy]

That's fair enough, but the thing didn't take long enough to explode to let you get down a decent enough length of tunnel. You have to make it a challenge to get down this tunnel, AND have the thing explode for long enough so that you can make it out.

[Goober5000]

Explosion sexp has been implemented, so now you can have explosions chase the player up the tunnel.

[KARMA]

good!:)
