um thanks, but can you upload some pics of what he looks like after that?
and is it possible to shaderswap (or moddel or anything else cool) to projectiles?

[AtomicBump]

you can shader swap projectiles.

and read the bottom of the tut and go to the link for shader swap examples.

[N00b M0dder]

how do you make projectiles fall from the sky??

[AtomicBump]

Make a new thread next time.

you change the X,Y and Z spawn cords for the projectile.

yea me 2. when i pick up anything it goes back to normal. i shadder swapped the banshee, but when im in the banshee it stays, but when i pick up a gun, it goes back to the normal shadders

[coolhaloboi44]

I was having the same problem with the shaders going back to normal but i figured it out on my own and i have only been modding for a couple months. If you are trying to shader swap the shotgun and goes back to normal, you also have to shader swap the tag that has fp in it for the weapon. Leave thanks if it helped

Do u have any pics.....

Oh by the way i made a warlock mod and i need some help with swapin shaders and adding new partcle effects. One more thing and making the map glow and be dark. If anyone can help me il send u the map in pff format so u can attach it and help me make the mod real good!
