Virote's Modern Units Thread

[Virote_Considon]

I was going to wait until I'd finished a unit pack for this, but as always, my free time is limited, so I thought I'd better post the first unit whilst I can... Some units in this thread may find their way into EFZI0, but most are for another project... Bonus points if you can guess what this project is about

Office Workers

Pencil Thrower
This guy, as his name suggests, throws pencils. Although he probably wouldn't be able to find a place in most scenarios, I'm sure he'll be able to fill a niche in some. Anyway, I need him for a scenario I've been working on for a number of years. Enjoy.

#PRTO_Pencil_Thrower
^

^The [Pencil Thrower] is pretty much the standard $LINK<office=GOOD_Office>-based unit. It has average offensive and
defensive power, and a (fairly weak) bombardment.

Some points and problems to note:
-Apart from the default and run animations, all the animations in this unit are completely my own work - I haven't used any pre-existing animations, nor have I followed the tutorial like it's the Bible! This is a first for me

-I think the pencils are a little too small to see...

-This is my first unit with a fidget, I think

-There's a slight problem with the victory - it doesn't end in the default pose! I haven't noticed this in-game, though, although saying that, I'm not the most observational person when it comes to these things...

Office Manager
Okay, maybe I did have enough time to make another unit today! Here's the Office Manager. Again, he probably won't find much use...

Office Manager

#PRTO_Office_Manager
^
^
^The [Office Manager] knows how to get things done, but when push comes to shove, he'd rather not get involved.
Still, he'll protect his status inside the company if need be, and thus has a reasonable amount of defense.
Furthermore, the expensive training programmes he has been put on give him an extra hitpoint!

Some points and problems to note:
-I don't think my arms are very realistic, especially during the attack... I'm sure this will get better as I animate more, though!

-I have absolutely no idea where the pen and the notepad come from. I'm sure they must come from the same place, but that is all... In fact, I don't even think I have their files anywhere; I had to import them from another unit I'm doing... If you know where this may have come from, I'll be very greatful... I'm feeling real bad right now not being able to give the appropriate credit!

Reserved, for other modern units.

 

[Gary Childress]

Yikes! Chinese throwing pencils!

I like the victory animation especially!

 

[Vuldacon]

That's a Very Novel Unit you made there Virote_Considon
... mild mannered John, known to everyone he works with as a courteous and dedicated employee, becomes "Office Worker" in times of trouble. Able to move quickly and throw Deadly Pencils accurately with tremendous force that can cripple or Kill evil villains. Yes, "Office Worker" fights a never ending battle for Truth, Justice and better working conditions with more pay

 

[Civinator]

Wow Virote, you have an excellent phantasy. I hope you must not work under such conditions.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Thanks, guys

The Victory is my favourite animation, too!

 

[AncientOne]

on pink the flying pencil is seen, but in game!?

 

[Virote_Considon]

I think it's visible

 

[19Delta]

are you making a scenario about the movie "Office Space"

 

[Virote_Considon]

I have never seen the movie to know of any resemblance or not

 

[Stormrage]

And this is when Virote_Considon was introduced to drugs..

Nice to see a weird unit pop in every once in a while, thanks V!

 

[Grandraem]

Fun unit, and well animated.

 

[BadKharma]

Well I have to say that is one interesting creation nice job!

 

[19Delta]

I have never seen the movie to know of any resemblance or not

you could probably rent a copy from your local video store, or you could look at a few clips on youtube or veoh. It's a very funny movie. You should go and see it if you haven't already.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Thanks again, guys!

The "Office Manager" is now up!

 

[Mithadan]

This is trippy! Whodda thought of this? Oh I know! Virote.

 

[Ozymandias]

... Modern office workers ... Hmmm ... I've got it! They can be zombies!!

(Seriously, though, nice work.)

He is mean with a clipboard

 

[wolf_brother]

Any chance of an office-person with worker animations for a modern worker?

 

[T-mun]
