In red, if it wasn't blatantly obvious.

And as for the singularity cannon concept; I like it, but when you think of cannon, you would usually think of some heavy firepower. I think it'd look better either shoulder mounted or held at the waste like a minigun. I'm not really digging the way it looks more like a shotgun then a cannon, but that could just be me being stupid again, so ignore this unless it's reinforced by someone else

Olive answers, yo.


I might rename it later, but seriously, ANY gun in the same scale as the MARS deserves to be
called a cannon (Maybe i should get Shotcannon on the shotgun...)

@Foa: Kthx
I'm gonna have a looooot of fun with that one...

Red again, yo.

Also, nearly done with light shotgun turret...

Looking good. For the plasma axe tho, you should make the magazine the actual axe. Then when it swings it would disapear from the clones' arm. And make the round count 1 with a quick reload.

Not quite. If you look at a bunsen burner, the absolute lowest level of combustions is a barely discernible purple. If you're awesome enough at tuning those things you can get the whole flame to be a ghostly purple/blue.

@Shook: I have gotten many gleeful hours out of your shot-cannon.
For the singularity cannon, have you considered doing something like a coilgun?

Y'know, that's actually a really good idea! There's just the problem that it would be invisible
in the menus, and it would stay "hidden" if you forgot to reload. I suppose people could live
with that, but i'm gonna need some opinions first.

@Duh102: Well, not yet for the Singularity Cannon, but it definitely isn't excluded.
It would require one hell of a magnetic field though, but then again, this is the future =P
Also, one can't view the image >.>

Edit: Had a pretty neat idea for the turrets. A clean up function, located on the jetpack button.
Should probably be a 180 degree area, starting from the base of the turret. How well it would
function is another matter entirely. Else, i could try my luck with inventing some weird-ass system
that would clear a roughly square area from terrain. I already have some sort of idea in my head,
but i'm not sure how it'll turn out.
It's going to be like this: Player presses the jetpack button, and a small cone of terrain clearing
particles shoot down to clear the immediate area below the turret. These particles will be
extremely fast, so a larger glob of somethingiumwhatever can fall down behind them, due to gravity,
and detonate in the middle of the corridor. Upon detonation, the glob creates several emitters spread
evenly over a vertical line. These emitters emit terrain clearing particles in a rough rectangle, that should
be around as big as the open area of a Tunnel A.
To prevent spamming, a burst delay can be put on the jetpack. The whole function should be in
the burst alone, with either no particles when held down, or the previously mentioned 180 degree clearer.
Also, everything should be completely harmless to all kinds of actors. It's not there to kill, y'know.
Again, i don't know how well this will go, but my hopes are high

*Dblpost*

Ohay guys, just firin' mah clearing system :]



Works pretty much like i expected, which is nice for a change. As you probably can
see, it isn't the weapon, but the jetpack. I guess this spawned from me being tired
of having my tunnels clogged with stuff from dead actors and such. It's totally harmless,
so don't expect to use it to massacre intruders.

But so far, the (Light) turrets i've done are as following:

- Machine gun
- Shotgun
- Plasma
- Coilgun (Single shot)
- Flame (Not totally done, but it's functioning nicely)

All of them share this clearing system.
I just need to decide whether i should make a rocket/grenade turret or not.
And if i should release the light turrets first, or wait 'till i've done the heavy
turrets too.

Whats the 6th light turret? Also nice system, but its no good if it clogs up the hallway a few meters away from the cleaning system...

Rockets/explosive rounds. Not sure if i should do it though, as the plasma turret
works pretty nicely as an impact explosive turret. I suppose that explosive rounds
with a larger radius would be more suitable for perimeter defence, while the plasma
turret works better in tighter spaces.


Yeah, true, i noticed that while playing
But at least it's easier to clean it away with a digger, and you don't run the
risk of damaging the turret either. (If the digger can damage it, that is)
Also, it can help people pass below the turret :0
...
Maybe i should just make it a shielding function instead. Or else i should save
that for the heavy turrets...

*Enemy fires*
*Turret shields*
*Enemy runs out of ammo and reloads*
*Turret blasts enemy who's reloading*

Of course, there should be a limit to how long the turret can shield.
I guess that the clearing systems usability is limited, but it's almost a shame to
get rid of it when i've spent 1-2 hours on it
Maybe it'd be better as a small gadget you can put on the ceilings of your tunnels
that periodically activates the system, so you can keep your tunnels clear of crap.
Or else i could just save it somewhere for another time.

Edit: Oh yeah, also did a (Horrible looking) concept sketch of a heavy plasma turret...

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/9840 ... eptgt1.png

Looks pretty horrible, but ehh...
The green sections of the ball is supposed to be attached carbon armor, unlike the light
turret, where it's just a painted decal.

Ok you've added enough great stuff to convince me to download it.
*DL'd*

Now that's what I call a brain fart!
I'd make the outer bullets 255 / 0 / 255.

Or just something that is a bit less imposing
I'm gonna try it though, and see how it looks when the terrain randomly disintegrates...

Also, finished up the shielding system of the heavy turrets.



Right now, it's set to run for 2 seconds when you activate it (Jetpack), and
there will be 2 seconds of cooldown after it's stopped. Originally, i had it so
that the shield was active as long as you held the button down, but then
i saw that the jetpack bar didn't run out at all, even though i set it to one second.
So i scrapped that idea, and made this less flexible system. The shield's tougher though.
And yes, the heavy turrets are supposed to be nightmares to fight.
Currently, i only have the heavy shotgun and heavy plasma done, but don't worry,
i will finish them sooner or later

Oh yeah, dumped the sixth turret, there's only going to be five different ones.
Each with a light/heavy and ceiling/ground variant. Which means twenty
different turrets for you to play with.

Could you make wall variants at some point for outer and inner wall defense? I just really like turrets that you can stick sideways into a wall, if its not too much trouble anyways.

Well, that depends on whether i can just rotate it or not. If i can, sure,
won't be a problem, but if i have to define a new turret entirely... Probably not.
The menu is going to be pretty huge either way.
