I just got an idea for the mini nuke. Make it in the style of the UniTec drop pod, so that it pierces down into the ground, or whatever else, and then explodes.

Idea, Bomb that explodes into a teeny crab with nonmoving feet, it has a little mortar on it's back,You fire the mortar up, and the shell is an Actor, basically a shell with a fan or wings or whatever on it, so you can control where it hits, but I don't mean like Azukki's (is that right?) GML, when you fire the weapon, it just slows the shell down, and here's the kicker.
It's a tiny nuke.
Use emitters for radiation poisoning.
Or else.

I need to fix that >.>
But until then, you have standard drop ships at your disposal.


Oho. It sounds good to me, but giving the impression of LARGE bullets when you basically
are limited to single-pixel rounds is pretty darn hard. I suppose i could make them MOSParticles,
but that would eliminate the possibility of a trail. Sort of. If i'm making it, i'll think of something.
*Sudden idea*
Haha, now i know what to try >:]


Seeing that i've never really worked with ACrabs, and that a mech is generally a metric
f*ckton of work, it's very unlikely.


Might as well rename it into "Bunketbuster" then... But i'll think about it.

@venn177: Well, I can't do anything about the looks myself, but i'm pretty sure Roon could
make it look effing uber. IF he wants to, that is.

@The ClamV2: Radiation poisoning does not make bullet wounds, and it does not make
your limbs explode randomly either.
>.>
Cool idea though. But how the HELL are you supposed to switch fast enough between
everything without it being too much to bother?

The same way the GML does it, in a craft that gibs, and when the craft dies it should force you over to the mortarshell.
I think that's what it did, anyway.

Gah, i'm kind of having a modders block, i guess. Pretty much zero work
done the past few weeks. I've been thinking a bit about the medium-sized
mech, and i think i'm nearing the point where i can start working on it...
Maybe i can get a rapid sketch down on how it's going to look. I can't
guarantee that you have the cognitive abilities to get anything out of my
horrendous sketches, but whatever.

Haha! Update! No real new stuff per sé, but i can tell you what's changed
and so on...

- Moar blood effects!
- Turrets no longer clutter up your buy menu in-game.
- Lag from PlanetKiller reduced significantly.

Thanks to numgun for the inspiration of the first and last



Hweh?

Why did his helmet teleport to his feet when his head exploded?

Go ask the game engine >.>

Wow nice, on the new planetkiller you managed to spawn the ADoor at the right point where mine was wierdly placed high in the air while the offsets were supposingly right.

Also I really dig the after effect glow sparkling thingys.


Also neat gore. : )
You can improve it by having a custom decapitation emitter that splurts blood like a tiny fountain when a head is blown off. (Head's breakwound)

ADoor? I used MOSRotatings :3 (The DeepGroup erases terrain instead of knocking it loose)
I had a hell of a lot of trouble making those circles erase terrain
right, because previously, it just erased a large square instead of a
circle, lord knows why. So i shrank the 500x500 circle to 200x200,
and then it worked like a charm. So i made the bomb spawn more of them
in a pattern, and voila! Needless to say, it was heavily inspired by
your Tactical Thermal Bomb... It's a circle of inspiration, yo.
And for some reason, i'm not too happy with the sparkly things myself,
but hey, if other people like them, it's cool.


♥♥♥♥, how could i forget that? D:
And thanks

Edit: Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the flamethrowers (All of them) are much
less "LEAFBLOWER LOLOLO" and more "KILL IT WITH FIRE" now.

Yeah, I had the same Square erasing bug too when I made my door too large.
But what the hell? DeepGroup? How, tell me more how'd you do it.
And I went through all the trouble trying to use a goddamn
ADoor to do those circles, and yet, its still glitched!
MOSRotating... psh, it could have been so much easier. >: )

Now that you mention the after effect, it could use some more work.
Maybe make it more frequent and bigger and have it spit smaller glows too
to make it look more interesting.
But I do like the style of it. Just make it a tad more showy.

Well, if the AtomGroup has a higher depth than the DeepGroup,
then it's the latter that will collide with terrain, and erase it.
So yeah. That's pretty much it.
Combined with the accurate AEmitter spawning technique.

AtomGroup depth < DeepGroup depth --> Terrain erasing object.

As for the after effect, it shall be shizzled up >:0

Also, got some more stuff coming your way... Nothing new once again,
just improvements/additions to existing stuff. (Like decapitation fountain)
Not just yet though!

OK, moar updaet!

- Fountain of blood added to the poor decapitated soldiers.
- Brain made into a bunker module.
- Added longer delay to the telepod (Three seconds from spawn).
- PlanetKiller now only detonates after impact.
- PlanetKiller aftermath made more shizzly.

Possibly more, but i can't remember

Awesome, but really, that deepgroup thing is totally new to me. Thanks for telling!
I'll go play with some Pelians now! : D

Are you going to make a rocket for these guys?
A fat large rocket or something that can deliver troops and transport them? *cough*

Dunno, maybe. I think i might be making it into a droppod instead though,
as i fear that it'll just be too phallic if it looks like that. And no, that's not
the finished sprite (You can see i'm missing some areas)
I'll see how it turns out, and then make necessary adjustments if it's too phallic. (Like, flying dildo)
I'm going to add fins at some point, hopefully making it less... Phallic.

Also, you're welcome, numgun
