I'm leaving for vacation, and I wanted to get this out before I left. This is strictly a beta release. The mod needs a lot more polish before I'll consider it a true release. More info and pictures here: http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15899&start=0
This tool allows you to carry a second gun, which floats above. It aims where you aim and shoots where you shoot. Pretty simply (ha!).
Be mindful of where the floating gun is pointing. It targets the first object in your line of sight. So if you have your face in the dirt, you'll be blowing holes in your head.
Instructions:
The gun is under the Tools menu, not Weapons.
Shoot a gun that is laying on the ground.
Shoot your weapons like normal. The floating gun reloads automatically when it runs out of ammo.
Crouch to toss away the floating gun and end the effect.
The effect has 2 modes: Fixed* and Movable. To change between them, quickly 'tap' the Pie-Menu button.
Movable mode allows for more accuracy. Fixed mode will keep your gun's position over your head. Default mode is Fixed.
*Fixed, as in it is fixed relative to your actor. It still moves with you.
Update: July 26, 2009
Tweaked the Movable mode. Now is more mobile =P.
Fixed issue with dropped weapons still firing.
Cleaned up the Lua code. Still lacks docs though =(.
Added tiny glow effect.
To-Do List:
Fix issue with weapons getting stuck in ceilings.
Add sprite effects.
Make mode changing and weapon dropping rebindable.
Updated Version:
Now with Full Documentation.

Note, this gif may be a little misleading. You do not control the floating gun's movement. It is automatic, so you don't need to multi-task.
