Re: Factories just a question: wouldnt it be possible to pin a rocket to the roof of a bunkerpiece and then use its thrusters to create stuff?
i thought of by using its 4 thrusters it could be able to spawn 4 different things by launching a grenade that gibs into the thing you have set it to gib.....
dont get mad at me if you dont like the idea, i found it in the Klonecannon mod where someone talked about using the cannons/rockets thrusters to spawn grenades in front of the opening.....

Re: Factories Mole. Its a really good idea but too complicated.

Re: Factories yes, you can actually, just the equipment wouldn't cost any money to produce, the factory however would be placed for a hefty fee. All you'd need to do would be to create a bunker prefab much like this or something:  and in those slots you place craft with a premise similar to the clone factory or those old weapons dispensers. And make them dispense actors and weapons, and elongate the bunker and include more slots with dispensers to accommodate more options. You might, however be able to make a craft with negative health appear in the return zone above the map every time a weapon is produced... that might subtract money.

Re: Factories The thing with the negative-costing craft would stuff up the loss counter a lot though.

Re: Factories I've been dead for a while ... but i got better!
This is interesting. I designed the clone-farm, but mostly by merging other people's code. If we went with Lua, how might you code, say, a gun to deduct funds when shot?
In theory, you could:
-Make an Actor into a factory.
-Make multiple guns which shoot fully equipped units, at a cost.
-Give each gun a distinct visual "flair" for easy distinguishing.
-Give them to the "factory".
- ... Voila! A factory that builds whatever you need, deep within your bunker.
Someone mentioned guns aren't lua-enabled yet, is that so?

Re: Factories wow ...
I think I might just crawl back in my hole and disappear again, then. I guess. Unless the whole launching-invisible-negative-cost-dropships-into-the-great-spacious-void is feasible. That seems clever, but awfully glitchy.
This is sorta embarrassing, but ... anyone have the Clone-farm as an individual file? Guess I'll do a search ...

Re: Factories Just make each gun shoot the amount of negative mass gold particles at the factory when it fires the gun to "buy" an item.
Look at the coalition's sniper code. It shows a nice example how to use an emitter to launch multiple particles at once.

Re: Factories Wow, that works?! Thanks numgum. I'll do some testing and see what we get.
EDIT: Ok, I'm getting somewhere. I understand how the sniper rifle uses the Shell of a Round to fire different things. How would I fire that Shell vertically up? And am I right that the gold-bullet would need to hit an actor, not just his gun?
Also, my negative mass bullets are giving me money. Though, that might be cause I'm using Rounds, not just particles.
If this is gibberish, please say so!

Re: Factories Shell? Aw man. No. The NEXT emitter thing. Lemme show you an example: Code: AddAmmo = AEmitter
PresetName = Particle Create A ♥♥♥♥ Ak47
Mass = 1
HitsMOs = 0
GetsHitByMOs = 0
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Coalition.rte/Devices/Rifles/SniperCasing.bmp
LifeTime = 1
FrameCount = 1
SpriteOffset = Vector
X = -3
Y = -2
EntryWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Dent Metal
ExitWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Dent Metal
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 2
Depth = 0
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 4
Depth = 1
DeepCheck = 1
AddEmission = Emission
EmittedParticle = MOPixel
CopyOf = A Frikkin simple MOPixel with "Gold" material.
InstanceName = Sniper Smoke 1
Mass = -1 //THIS MAKES YOU LOSE MONEY IF IT HITS YOU. IN THIS CASE, IT HITS THE FACTORY.
ParticlesPerMinute = 1
BurstSize = 1
Spread = 0.2
MaxVelocity = -10 //NEGATIVE SPEED HERE SO THE GOLD HAX FLIES AT FACTORY.
MinVelocity = -10
PushesEmitter = 0
AddEmission = Emission
EmittedParticle = HDFireArm
CopyOf = A Frikkin AK47
ParticlesPerMinute = 1
BurstSize = 1 //ONLY 1 AK47 plz
Spread = 0.0
MaxVelocity = 1 //PLEASE KEEP THESE LOW OR YOUR GUN WILL SMASH AT CONCRETE.
MinVelocity = 1
PushesEmitter = 0
EmissionEnabled = 1
EmissionsIgnoreThis = 0
BurstTriggered = 1
AddAmmo = Round
PresetName = Round Factory Create A ♥♥♥♥ Ak47 Kthx
ParticleCount = 1
Particle = AEmitter
CopyOf = Particle Create A ♥♥♥♥ Ak47
// Shell = AEmitter
// CopyOf = ---FORGET THE SHELL---
// FireVelocity = 355
FireVelocity = 1 <---------VERY IMPORTANT. LEAVE IT TO 1. YOU CAN SET THE PARTICLE VELOCITIES WITHIN THE EMITTER THIS GUN WILL FIRE.
// ShellVelocity = ASDADSA
Separation = 0 Okay, it sucks, but you get the point I hope. It was fun writing it btw.

Re: Factories Ok people I would like to ask people to make me full working thing to launch actors and basic weapons. I will think off the money thing and release it as a mod with your name on it.

Re: Factories @Gedou: Sorry, I didn't mean to highjack your topic! Check out this clone farm, since it works fairly fluidly. (Please ignore the uglier-than-dead-penguins-actors, thx.)
It's using an aCrab at the moment. But, with some work, changing it to an Actor would allow for multiple units to be "bought".
I'm still working on numgums idea. But ... I'm failing somewhere -_-". Just have to test more variables so I understand CC.
Use this however you want, I'm not stingy!
EDIT:
@Numgum: Ok, my "shell" idea was working well (Fire's Gold pixels at varying velocities), though think I see why emitters are much better. I have the problem that my "gun" is always facing left or right. NOT down. So making negative muzzle velocity causes the bullet to fly left or right, and not vertically up to the farm. Follow?
This seems to be due to aCrab's limited firing angle, and I haven't figured out which variable changes that.
Changing the crab to an actor should clean that up all round. If I'm way off here though, just say so.
