So, yeah, I'm horrible with creative aspects of modding, and can't come up with a way to present a mod I just made. Picture this: a gun, similar to the flak cannon. This cannon fires a projectile, and then this projectile gibs a controllable actor.

Put your disbelief aside for a moment, and help me come up with ways to present this, would you please?

:D

I'll release it tomorrow, 27 Dec 07, for sure, so don't worry too much.

And no, this is not another Portal gun scam. I'm just not disclosing the beta because I'd like you people to think of how I did it yourselves.

I'll breathe life into this community yet, goddamnit.

Ahh, so you figured out how to do this as well then.

Grif, man, think about your audience here. This board is composed of 50% twelve year old males.
Pokemon.
You know you want to (your presentation thus changes only insofar as it is no longer a gun but rather a grenade).

edit: And don't worry, there's plenty of innovation left. I have, offhand, three ideas I'm tossing around that I will probably never actually work on. If you're ever looking for something to do, hit me up.

So it fires a dropship that gibs and realses its cargo
Or a pixle sized rocket that instantly realese a guy

I had this idea to but i only got half way through and got bored

Make the gun shoot a controllable shell. (when the gun fires, it suicides the shooter)

Then make that shell gib into another actor.

So it would be kinda like third person bullet veiw.

owait, nevermind that

Just make the shell that the gun fires also explode
a bunch of invisible hitMOS = 0 particles, that
disintegrates all the grass near it, and dislodges
a few dirt particles too.

Also, the shell needs a trail.

Except not, and that's further proof of both your failure at actual modding knowledge, and motivation.
