If a unit can't even hold a weapon without losing all of their jetpack ability they probably shouldn't bother firing it either. Some of AAL's weapons actually did that unintentionally. Try firing an AAL superweapon with a Coalition Light and *Splort* they're meat splattered across the landscape.
Equip how? Switching their weapons around? They don't gib. If you're trying to make it pick up weapons, then why? They're already armed. If you turn the mech's weapons into buyables they end up gibbing as you equip them. You don't die, they just unequip and explode. Why the hell would you turn them into buyables when they were only meant to be used on the mech?

So you can use them on another soldier?

Wow! This is fantastic. The realistic recoil is much better than regular bullet spray, the sprites are good, and everything is well rounded (everything is a bit OP, but that's the idea behind S.A.W. No complaints). Multi tool is very handy, and the little things about theunit-specific weapons like the THOR, how smaller guys can't shoot them, and will drop them if the AI controls them. Very good work.

First, I would like to use these weapons and not have to pay 6500 gold to use them on a mech with a Shield that does nothing but reduce framerate for me. Second, I'm going to punch you. Prepare yourself ruffian for the hurt of a lifetime.

The shield does a lot more than just reduce framerate (And actually the shields were optimized from previous versions to fix this).

Re: S.A.W. *(01/09/2011) UPDATE: V11.0
If you want to turn off the shield for the mech just go into SAW.rte/Actors/Mech/Bipedal.lua, go to line 60, make self.shieldpower = 0, same thing with the other shields, just on a different line, you'll have to find it yourself. BigBomb wrote: Also, actor limit to holding weapons? Lets see you hold the equivalent of 2 Barrett M82's, Fire them and not have them mangle your hands from the amount of recoil you receive. BigBomb wrote: Also don't make The Bipedals gib when you have them equip. Why? Their purpose is to serve as the Mech's primary weaponry, not for you to go berserk with a 20 ton Mass Rifle in the hands of a Coalition light. This mod isn't your ' Unrealistic overpowered madness' faction, but more of an Elite force from tomorrow type of thing. Realism is obviously a factor that will be present. You ask me to make the weapons equipable when you could easily just lower the price of the mech and simply buy it and use the weapons on there. The price to me seems appropriate, trying to actually kill something with the mech and you will succeed, no doubt. Even just leaving it to the AI and it wouldn't (Or at least it shouldn't) have trouble with anything getting in it's way, ESPECIALLY with the new AI in B25. If you're having issues with the price then like Asklar said, Money Cheats or just go into the bipedal's ini and change the price to something more comfortable for yourself. Killing this thing on the other hand, good luck, even if you're trying to take it down. Try the mission, tell me it's not as hard as, maybe even harder, than Weegee's missions. The Mac version will be up as soon as I get these sounds transferred right. Just hang tight for that. EDIT: Also how are people liking the new KME effects for the weapons? I spent a good hour or so trying to the get length and speed right for them.

Re: S.A.W. *(01/09/2011) UPDATE: V11.0
Coop, I'm not trying to start a full fledge realism war here, but it's pretty ♥♥♥♥ unrealistic when you can't let a soldier hold a weapon they want to kill someone with.
Also, I don't think it was very smart of you to limit weapons to the Heavy Solider. Maybe one or two, but not the BAP, man. Not my ♥♥♥♥ BAP. Maybe it's just me I guess. But, I'll still stand besides this mod as one of the greats.
Edit: The mech's vert missiles homing system needs to be fixed. I just fired one off and watched it fly left and right for about thirty seconds.

The most I will do is make it say the message but you also fire the weapon as well as take 10 damage and disarm yourself.
Also the Commander can fire all the weapons as well, just affected by recoil more.
Other than that, Too bad. I'm not going out of my way with this mod just so you can enjoy something I didn't want to put in. If you want it so badly like that then learn some lua and figure it out for yourself.

Re: S.A.W. *(01/09/2011) UPDATE: V11.0
I'd have to agree with big bomb, I'd rather it fires one or more shots and tore off my arms, using what supply of grenades i have on me to turn me into a walking bomb afterwards.
After all, meat puppets are replaceable.

In other news:
The multi-tool is awesome ♥♥♥♥. I can really go and raid a base using only that thing! It works as a digger, a weapon, a healing thing, it can attract stuff!
I love it.

Because it's totally possible for just anyone to pick up an M2HB .50 caliber machine gun with a 50-round belt feeding into it, and fire while standing it like it's nobody's buisness. Oh wait. They can't. Either they can't fire them because they're not strong enough to handle the recoil or they brutally massacre their own body on the first shot. What would you prefer? Wasting your units getting them killed or using the right person?

Re: S.A.W. *(01/09/2011) UPDATE: V11.0
Giving a Zombie a THOR is like this multiplied by 50Even the Dummy fires off the S-88 like a housewife defending her kids. Like I said though, I'm not going to do this just for your pleasure. Do it yourself (Meaning you, BigBomb). EDIT: Also, playing around in this for the efficiency of testing speed. Code: Health = 100 -- Initial Health MassA = 40 -- Skeleton Mass MassB = 145 -- Coalition Heavy Recoil = 1.45 -- BAP-9 Recoil Modifier
AlgoA = (Recoil)/(MassA/(Recoil*50))*50 AlgoB = (Recoil)/(MassB/(Recoil*50))*50
print(Health - AlgoA) -- -31.40625 Skeleton goes *Poof* print(Health - AlgoB) -- 63.75 Major arm muscle bruising
