Yes I know its been done alot, but I never thought it was ever done right.
I don't beleive this will be too advanced with all the pics and all so lets get started.
First you want to pick your map to put your Hammer of Dawn on. I'll be using Turf.
Open up your map in DotHalo
1) Go to [weap] tag for the Sentinel Beam, it should now be on
objects\characters\sentinel_agressor\weapon\beam\s entinel_agressor_beam
as show below:
2) Go into Tag Editor and put the
Number of projectiles to 5.
3) Go to
Projectile at the bottom and select 0 in the dropdown menu.
4)Edit the
X coordinate to 3, the
Y coordinate to 0, and the
Z coordinate to 10
5)The real Hammer of Dawn never runs out of ammo so we will put the
Age per round to 0.
6)Also, the Hammer of Dawn only shoots out a beam for a while then stops so put the
Heat per round to 0.35
(I found this the most accurate).
7) To add the cool effect of the beams coming together as they did when you started shooting the Hammer of Dawn, put Bullets
per shot to 5 and the
Minimum Spread (Accuracy) to 0.1 and the
Maximum Spread (Accuracy) to 0.001
It all should look like this:
8) Now Save Changes
9) Now go into the
Dependencies/LoneIDs window and change the
Proj Tag to
objects\weapons\rife\sniper_rifle\projectiles\snip er_bullet then Save Changes. It should look just like this:
10) Select the sniper bullet (proj tag) again and press goto tag.
11) Go to it's
Dependencies\LoneIDs and change the
Cont Tag to
effects\objects\weapons\rifle\brute_plasma_rifle\
red_plasma_streak
(This will make the beam red). Keep the Jpt! Tag the same but change the
Foot Tag to whatever you want. I would suggest
Gauss_Bullet, Brute_Plasma_Rifle_Bolt, or Sentinel_Beam. (The foot tag is the marking the beam leaves on the ground)
and Save Changes! It should look something like this:
We're done with DotHalo for now so open the map up in Entity.
Now to tweak the beam a bit.
12) Go to the [Cont] Tag and then to
effects\objects\weapons\rifle\brute_plasma_rifle\r ed_plasma_streak
like before. Now on the right there is a tool button. Drop down and go to the
Meta Editor. Make sure this is what you are on:
13) Go down to the
Point States Reflexive and change all the red values (upper and lower) to 12. Afterwards, put the Trail Width
to 0.8 but feel free to experiment with it yourself. Everything should now look like this:
14) After thats done,
press the Save button at the top
You can close out of Entity and open back up in DotHalo to fix the encryption.
***Remember to thank me if this helped you at all***
