ZeRoY wanted to port over Castle from Call of Duty: World at War. So i made a little tool which grabbed all the materials and textures from the original map file. This also generated a GDT so we could easily import this in Black Ops 3.
During this time i started experimenting with AI and asked if he needed anything, this is how the scorpion idea came to life.
The Scorpion had 2 different attacks, these were spitting fire and a “ninja” kick. It also had the ability to summon Hellhounds. The last thing it could do was throw a smoke bomb and quickly teleport away with a random chance of cloning itself.
The intro effect was to give the idea it was coming from a Hell Portal, a black hole covered in flames.
This idea came from the Leapers in Die Rise, they had some sort of kick i thought would really fit. I added a fire trail effect on his feet and a explosion upon impact.
It could also spit fire if it got close to a player, this was done by spawning an invisible turret and aim to the closest player.
