Post A Manhack?
Any fans of half-life 2 would know what I'm talking about. Here's a quick description from Wikipedia :

"Robotic flying saws that are designed to hunt and eliminate enemies of the Combine. Manhacks are robotic drones, smaller than a scanner, that are used for combat support and as an efficient mean of clearing out enemy territories that would be too dangerous or difficult for conventional troops."

So its a homing robot that cuts through people... And i wanted to know if anyone already did that in the past? or something similar?

But it's glitchy as.

Here's how I'd do it.

Make an actor that floats (globalacc variable). I think you can do that too actors...
Give it a gun which fires sharp particles BACKWARDS, but put the barrel offset fairly far forwards, so it still hurts close up.
Make sure the gun has a fair chunk of recoil.

What you've done here is to mimic Zalo's homing bombs, except instead of exploding they inflict massive wounds on people.

Go mod the crap out of that if you're feeling lazy.
But ask Zalo first.

Go ahead, fine by me. I stole the Idea from BlipFlip in the first place but made some modifications.

I also recommend setting the Aim Angle to 360.
