Death Run Emotes

14 posts in this topic

As the death run server has just started up, I think a new feature that hasn't been seen before would be really nice. I thought about the possibility of adding emotes to the mod.

At the end of each round, the winner of the round would get 5ish seconds to emote, like a backflip or selfie or one of the many emotes available within black ops 3.

Also, at the end of the game, a podium-like ending would be amazing. The 3 top jumpers of the game and maybe the top activator. This would also be an intensive to activate, and maybe give some XP to first, second and third.

The emotes would be unlocked like any other character or weapon, as well as VIP emotes.

I feel like this feature in particular would drastically increase the players due to the current popularity of Fortnite.

Tell me what you think.

Also @Mist, please port these animations from BO3 and give them to Slaya!

So I've done a tad bit of research (as I'm not too familiar with animations), and it would seem forcing a custom animation on a player model is fairly impossible as all the animation related functions are singleplayer only. Though, I like impossible, so I actually found a way of doing it for stock animations by modifying our custom server patch that should, in theory, work. I haven't tested the method yet so I'm not 100% certain it will work but I have high hopes. I'll look further into it when I'm done with the most important bits of our current (pretty large) to-do list.

Also, yes, I'll need someone to port/make me a bunch of animations if this were to become a thing. I cannot into Maya.

I think you can play an animation on a player but for the life of me I can't remember how to :P

I'm glad you're trying it. It will definitely be a good feature that will make the server stand out.

@atrX I swear I thought there was a way as on Xenia a while back they had the black ops 3 weapons which could be inspected when they pressed use.

Those are first person animations and weapons for that matter, that's pretty easy to do. Manipulating third person character animations is a totally different beast.

Ah okay that makes sense. Well if it's at all possible, it's worth a shot :P

It sounds like a brilliant idea imo.

Wouldn't the kill cam get in the way of this feature?

I would imagine it would be shown after the killcam, kinda like a boast for winning the round. Would increase competition for sure.

or like fortnite, just play emotes anywhere

That would be a good idea, although a specialised ending would also be cool.
