Perhaps make a version that makes them bigger instead? That would make bigger and more immobile targets...

To
Code:
actor.Scale = actor.Scale/0.9 ;


One line of code.

Yep :grin:
i just hope b24 has offsets under lua, but ill make some more lua guns. also, i finaly figured out why i was spriting so horrable, it took 3 eppifonys (yes they are painfully obvious in retrospect)

#1 mess with an outline untell it looks good first!
#2 Texture!!! and make sure you do it pixel by pixel!
#3 shade!
#4 Use the base.rte pallete! i never noticed it untell this mod. *facepalm*

now i can make sprites that arnt pretty, but they dont make your eyes bleed. unlike my previous work.
im going to make a grow ray and a gun that makes anyone shot drop there inventory. (dropships included!)
and then work on my mod contest entery.

I hope B24 has full documentation, ActivityMan reverted to B22, and working attachables and offsets.

Though a separate shrink and grow gun seems good.

Idea lights up.

What if you could use CastMORay so that it can shrink any thing?

Oh, btw, CastMORay seems to work on attachables.

I have been able to read data from attachbles, but I have not tried manipulating them.

the grow ray works pretty well, but the disarm rays broken.
if anyone can fix it, it would be great!

Empty inventory only drops the non held weapons.

They're really quite unreliable. Sometimes an actor will grow bigger/smaller a while after you've shot it with the ray, sometimes it won't even grow at all. The only part of actors that can get bigger/smaller is their body. Also, I think it would be better to have a single blast, not a ray. And the blast shouldn't bounce. Too often, I got myself biggified/smallified because the shots bounced back at me.

Overall, not a bad idea, but it doesn't work the way I'd want it to.

EDIT: It also causes actors to explode, sometimes.

Disarm ray has a typo in the lua code.

Yeah.... Line 28. But I've tried that code, and it doesn't really work because the actor's just pick it all back up.
