NOTICE: USES SCENE.MY VARIABLES. MOVING COMPONENTS TO ANOTHER SCENE WILL CAUSE FAILURES IN THE CODE. INSTEAD, WORK INSIDE THE SCENE PROVIDED, AND SAVE IT AS ANOTHER SCENE TO PRESERVE THE SCRIPTS.


I'd determined that I needed to involve all you guys a bit more. So, I present to you the M4A1. The Armalite Rifle platform is abut as modifiable, modular, and versatile as it gets. Not only that, but in this contest, anything that modifies the platform goes. Real-life modifications or making this look like an M4 that's proprietary to a movie or video game are all fair game, and I encourage you to do whatever comes to mind!

Since this is a contest, I'll delineate some criteria and establish a rubric. No contest is good without some guides:

1) any visual modifications are acceptable, but unless you can figure things out, please resist the urge to tamper with the red internal components. They are necessary for the functioning of the gun. If your gun does not work, it's automatically disqualified.

2) any components you add should not interfere with moving or scripted parts in a manner that make them non-functional. I SUGGEST leaving anything you add collision group "D" since it's what most of the skin is already. However, outfitting a rail system is completely legal, or adding anything moving as well, as long as, again, it doesn't prohibit anything from functioning.

3)Keep it m4-ish. If it looks like a tank cannon, you've gone too far. I've amended the rule to allow you to make it another design, but it should share some resemblance to the m4 in some way. It doesnt have to, and by all means, if your heart calls for you to make it SCAR or G36, do so, but it'll make the judging process a little more difficult

4) magazines can be re-skinned as well to suit your visual needs, but please, make sure your mag works as well.

5) anyone may submit as many entries as they'd like, and they will be valid if following all these rules

6) Deadline for submission is 1 October 2015

Submissions will be ranked based on how creative the skins are, the added functionality of optics/lasers (not necessary, but addition of some kind of functionality is a bonus), overall professional detailing (rough edges and sloppy shapes will reduce the value of a submission, so make it clean), and finally, my personal preference. I have my tastes, and since I'm judging the competition, I'll pick what I find the most appealing. I've fired enough real stuff to know what feels good, as well as looks good. If I figure it wouldn't be ergonomic, I wouldn't likely choose it.

Okay, what are you still doing here? Go, start making something awesome!
