An unexpected but funny result

[grayman]

Sometimes mapping can be tedious and frustrating for me, but I thought I'd note something that got me laughing yesterday.

 

I'm trying to make a cutscene for the end of my vert map, and in order to hear the actors' dialogue, the player needs to be close enough to hear. So I'm teleporting him in from somewhere else and placing him right behind the actors. Now, one of the actors walks into the scene from behind the player to join the first actor before the dialogue begins. I've been putting these actors on team 0 just out of habit during development.

 

The player becomes invisible when the camera takes over, so even though he's in the frame, you can't see him.

 

So I'm fiddling with the walk-on actor's model, and on one take I forgot to put him on team 0.

 

Scene starts, camera focused on the actor who's already in the scene, and I can hear the footsteps of the walk-on actor.

 

All of a sudden, the walk-on actor comes into frame and starts beating the crap out of the invisible player, shouting all sorts of things.

 

Completely unexpected, and it got me laughing for a while.
