 Concrete Launcher Alright well i just wanna say it's good to be back, and i have a few cool ideas to play around with, among them is bringing back the Fuel Rod Cannon and cooler ways of killing people than bullets, like with concrete!
This mod was originally supposed to be a concrete gun you'd actually use, shoot it, boom, room fills up. It didn't really work like that since it laaaagggeed but it became something much..... cooler.
Basically this shoots, explodes, and concrete goes everywhere, which doesn't sound deadly but a well placed shot can mow down 3 or 4 guys, and take down a dropship *not the dummy one, never had a chance to test against a shuttle one* Check out the pictures.
Ok the question is 1. Is it possible for a TDExplosive to spawn another TDE, and have the second TDE explode on a timer, instead of only being able to gib? 2. If this explodes on impact for some reason it doesn't release 2000 particles, it only releases like 10, although i've had it hit sometimes *just nicking something* and release them all... is there a way to make it do all of them all the time?

Re: Concrete Launcher 1. You can gib more TDExplosive but they won't be time detonated.
2. The most likely reason is that the majority of particle get thrown into whatever the TDE hit. Try turning off the particles velocity inheritance; alot will still crash into the wall (or whatever) but more will be likey to spread out.

Re: Concrete Launcher You can use a MOSRotating with emitter on it emitting sharp particles into the mosrotating. The gibwoundlimit and particlesperminute will determine the length.
Remember to set emissionignorethis as 0.
It'll be a pain, but it works.
Hard to say about the particles not appearing without seeing any of the code.
Guesses would be sharpness, going too fast (~260 is the magical number) or
the plain fact that they're all overlapping eachother.
You can easily set more spread using addgibs than addparticles.

Yes, make it explode into an MOSRotating (HitMOS = 1, GetsHitMOS = 1) with an emitting on it. Give it a GibWoundLimit of 60 or something, have the emitter's ParticlePerMinute be 120 or whatever and it'll explode after 30 seconds. Thats what i did with my old Suicide Drone actor to give it the effect of a timer. The same thing applies to this.

Re: Concrete Launcher Hm alright i'll work on it for version 2.0 or use it in my next mod. I've always wanted to do something cool with a cluster bomb and i have a couple ideas so this will help, thanks guys!

Re: Concrete Launcher So i moved on to another mod and its been awhile and i just have a quick question... and its really dumb. How do you get an emitter attached to an MOS? Also right now i have the gun fire a TDE that explodes into just the emitter with the same sprite, but as soon as it touches something it dissapears, but its still emitting, its just invisible, any idea whats going on with that?

Re: Concrete Launcher You can shoot emitters too, but to attach them, use Code: AddEmitter = AEmitter
CopyOf = [emitter] And to make them actually pierce the MOSRotating/TDExplosive, set EmissionIgnoreThis = 0 Btw, sparks aren't the sharpest particles around.

Re: Concrete Launcher Haha oh that seems overly simple =p Thanks a ton! And actually i just made a particle and called it sparks, didn't know there was another one in the base.rte, Mine have like a 650 sharpness but a .01 mass. ~edit~ Ok i just fail or something idk, but I can't get this damn thing to work. Im trying to add Code:
AddEmitter = AEmitter
CopyOf = MCannonR3
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -1
Y = -4 But it won't work at all, it just gets caught on the "AddEmitter = AEmitter" line every time. Code: AddEffect = AEmitter
PresetName = MCannonR3
Mass = 5
HitsMOs = 0
GetsHitByMOs = 0
SpriteFile = ContentFile

Re: Concrete Launcher Hmm, I don't see anything that would cause a error.
WHAT is the error?
It is possible that theres a "silent error"; something, generally minor thing, is wrong,
but game doesn't report it but instead constantly spews other random errors.

Re: Concrete Launcher Deadlyaim656 wrote: whops sorry, "Could not match property in Mcannon.rte/Shell.ini at line 101" Hey. In the future, could you use and link to rafb.net for your large amounts of code? Makes it a bit easier for the passing reader.
