First person shooter (yet another Locke question)

Talk about making games.

First person shooter (yet another Locke question)

Postby Locke » Tue Mar 06, 2007 11:52 pm

Is it possible (I don't think so) to make first person shooter games using GE? I was about to go Google searching to find another game engine that lets you do first person shooter games solely for the first person shooter aspect, but I was just wondering if GE can do it.

If not: I am working on a strategy game that will let you take charge of the army, but also (if you want to) play in first person shooter mode as one of the soldiers that you are commanding. Since I will have to use another game engine (hypothetically, because I don't know yet whether GE will let me or not) to make the first person shooter porsion of the game and then have my commanding part of the game (written in GE) call on my FPS porstion of the game, how would I do that?

If so: skip all that crap above and just tell me.

Thanks a whole lot,

Locke

You can't really do a 3d FPS because of the lack of 3d support. You can, however do a 2d FPS type of thing, and possibly add a litle bit of 3d simulation.

But how would I make a person walk smoothly. I could say that if I push the up key, go to next window, but that is more like a slideshow than a FPS game, how would I make the walking smooth and continuous?
