Vehicle heroic skins

[Eagle XI]

The idea is when you are heroic veterancy and spawn an vehicle then it gets an different skin. Its probably not going to be too different than what the vehicle is normally using, with an few added decals et cetera.

Would you want a new skin or additions to the model? When I read skin, I think of you want a new material to be used for it

[Madkill40]

Most vehicle weapon effects change moderately to signal you are being attacked by an heroic vehicle, an additional effect or static decal locked onto a heroic vehicle (if possible) would probably be the most doable as far as a different skin goes, there's a reason elements to signal different veterency are HUD and effects based.

That is typically what defines a skin when somebody uses the word 'skin'.

Quality communication is all about clarity  In today's most popular games such as Overwatch and League of Legends, "skins" typically involve more than a simple retexture.

An simple retexture like what C&C3 Kane Edition skins do when toggled on is what i had in mind.

I think it may be a bit harder than that, due to the fact weapon fire can be spawned in after the veterancy is determined, however something changing Skin based on them entering or leaving may be a bit harder. But sounds cool enough

[Eagle XI]

Its not supposed to change its skin based on whom enters the vehicle, as its determined at the moment the vehicle is spawned.

[Fffreak9999]

Thats not quite how it currently is since the tanks currently have a skin selection based on the map (or an active mutator (or is Fort)).

It would likely be easier to impliment an aura like glow effect than changing the material on the vehicle (since it doesn't actually affect the vehicle's skin)

Plus in your description, if it is determined on spawn, then a user who is heroic can buy a large amount of vehicles and make it seem like they are all heroic, despite the driver potentially not being Heroic.

[Madkill40]

It'd probably be more possible to spawn a constant aura around an heroic vehicle but that may just look naff

[Eagle XI]

You can simply make it so that when insufficient rank enters heroic vehicle it reverts back to default skin. However if its so much of an work dont really need it.

Glow fx would end up looking unnecessary silly and im not a fan of visual only auras.

Are we playing the same game?

[Eagle XI]

I was descripting my idea there. He already explained how it works as of now.
