Yep, after looking merging Zalo's, Daman's, and Piipu's code together, I was able to figure out a convincing way to get the HL2 style gravity gun effect into Cortex Command!

Image

It's similiar to Zalo's clone in that you push a button to activate the effect when you have the clone selected (the clone is called "Telekinesis Master", and is found in the actors tab).

It can also attract particles such as rockets, bullets, and weapons.

I added in a few functions of my own into the code, mainly one that allows you to push actors and projectiles and even bullets you captured into your enemies.

Controls
F for push
G for gravity gun effect
C to decrease distance of gravity gun
V to increase


*
It should be quite a bit less laggier, I hope.
I also made it so that only MOPixels trapped in the telegrab field are the only particles to have their lifetime extended, and removed the "snow" effect from the blue particles.

Also, fast moving bullets will be a bit harder to catch, but the effect looks nicer.

Post here if you see any crippling bugs.

That's so cool, I didn't think anything like this would be stable enough to be feasible.

it would awesome to add one more button that makes pulling power so strong (for a second or two) that it rips apart trapped actor

Incredibly fun, along with the teleporting clone we're getting some proper superpoweres! Unfortunately there is a bit of an error, it doesn't work with luaguns.rte, when you try to use the power it spawns a vortex thing and kills you. :P Go and rename whatever it is you copied from luaguns I guess...

Man, I love you, I've learned a few techniques that can be used.

'Perfect Heal' : Tele-Grab your target, and aim the Cauterizer at it

'Shrapnel Cannon' : Tele-Grab + Shrapnel, then Tele-Force

Beat Tut Mission by throwing a Dreadnought at another Dreadnought.

I tried grabbing the particles from the planet killer bomb as it exploded with this. Instead, it exploded like normal, and he was instantly shredded. Then it exploded again. And again. And killed my brain. Awesome.

But these Glow Particels make it a little bit instant-lagging. :???:

Maybe the things have force transmitters just for that? Also, how would you do choking in CC? Just incapacitate and drain hp?
