If someone would care to test this WIP and give me some feedback it would be much appreciated.

Here's a picture:

V1.00:First Version

Here's what I've got so far.

Tested walkpaths. They seem fine. The guy can even climb up ladders fairly well.

Tested the gun.. The bullets hit like missiles. One shot is enough to take a standard guy down.. 3 for heavy infantry.. Even the tanks (like the crobo and the dummytank) I used took only three hits before dying.

Heavier armor like armored mecha take like seven hits.. This thing is wayyyy overpowered.

The actor.. Used the coalition assault rifle for this test.

On average takes 1 damage per hit on a bodyshot and 5 on a headshot. Remember though that the assault rifle has pretty lousy armor penetration compared to other weapons.

Auto shotgun tends to do better against him.. Two shots brought him down to 10 health.. However, there seem to be some segments that are coded to draw blood when hit. I presume these are unarmored.

Sonic shockwave blows up heads. If not those, it blows up legs. Vanilla stuff drops even at maximum range. Tougher stuff tends to require you to be closer. Either way, it produces massive knockback.

Well it is meant to be very powerful, however maybe not that powerful, I'll see what I can do.

An entry wound causes low damage and no blood draw, an exit wound causes heavy damage and blood draw. The front plate is very hard to penetrate.

Great, that's exactly what it's supposed to do.

Thanks for your comment.

Edit: Updated, now there's a pistol too, what do you think of it?

Rifle still kills most stuff in a single hit, although big actors tend to take twice as many hits now.

Pistol is okay. It's a knockback pistol. Anything human-sized gets hurt at medium range somewhat badly. Headshots kill.

Actually, at maximum range it can potentially kill in one hit too.. Could be a bit of a problem.

Don't see why it needs infinite ammo. Pistols tend to reload in this game fast enough.

I won't be able to start for another couple of days, but if you're willing to wait, I'll see what I can do about the actor sprites for you. I need to start getting in the habit of doing actor sprites anyway, and of using Graphics Gale (I just recently discovered that, without jumping over a bunch of hurdles, the program I previously used to sprite doesn't support indexing).

It is due to a small error in the lua code I used, now it is corrected(not released yet).

I want the pistol to be something you can always rely on when your main weapon is empty, broken or blown out of your hands, that's why I gave it infinite ammo.

Updated to V1.11:

_The defender is more expensive
_Pistol range is now fixed
_Custom jetpack added
_Regeneration rate increased
_Pistol RoF increased



Major accepted to sprite this actor, but I will make others and other guns you could sprite.

11 people downladed it, why don't you comment?, I need feedback in order to make it better

Pistol tested.

Still kills pretty easily at long range.. Not instant, but it does enough damage to explode the head in two or three shots at max range. With the improved rof, long range kills are still possible.

His regeneration rate is PERFECT as it stands. Durability-wise, he'll die from too many hits eventually, but for 325 and the innate ability, I think taking one assault rifle clip (with a good amount hitting the head) before dying is fine.

Sorry for the delayed feedback, but it seems that I'm the only one who's even spending his time to do this.

it is pretty cool but if you make a sniper like that weapon that will be great and some greanades and more actors

Thanks for your feedback,

You mean with exploding bullets? check this: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=20263

nice exacly what i needed to kill from far distence.
