I got bored.

In the Tools tab, the Blast Jelly Sprayer sprays red, green, blue, or yellow goop that solidifies on contact with terrain. When the correct detonator is used, the goop will violently explode, releasing a powerful shock wave.

Features:
- Relatively low lag
- 4 sprayers/detonators (one for each team)
- Nearly no collateral damage
- Build 23 and build 24 compatible
- Explosion sounds

Update:
- Added explosion sounds
- Explosion slightly more powerful

Reminds me of the C4 sprayer from B23.

Oh man I've missed this.
Thanks cave, you just made my day slightly better.

Though... It doesn't hurt brains or doors :(

Updated. Put in explosion sound effects that get "louder" the more jelly you have.

Also made the explosion a little stronger so it can kill brains, but doors seem to be highly impulse-resistant.

Very nice. You seem to have solved the biggest issue I had with my C4 Sprayer, that being not getting stuck in the air especially after hitting actors and such.

You could run a check for ADoors if it was that pertinent an issue.

It probably can't do anything about doors since doors use MOs and terrain, and the explosion doesn't damage terrain.

Though, checking to see if the object within the explosion would be laggy as well as pointless.

I compared this one and the C4 sprayer (old one for 23), and the main difference is that this one seems to be anti-unit oriented while the other one is anti-bunker.
What I like of this one is that it comes in 4 varieties.

I really like this idea, I've been missing the C4 sprayer in B23, but if it were a little more effective against bunker material that would be great.

Great for halting clone invasions, but not so great for starting your own assault. Perhaps, if you felt like it, you could make different types of blast jelly, such as ones that go up like Molotov cocktails, ones that do lots of damage to the terrain but little to units, etc.

One question: Is there an upper limit to the explosion sound volume? I don't want to blast my ears.

The sound doesn't really get "louder" the more jelly you have. It's more of noise spam, not actually volume change.

The jelly is, almost strictly, for anti-infantry. If the blast particles were sharp, less than a third of the particles would hit an individual target, since most of the particles would explode in the opposite direction or hit the ground.

Since the blast particles in the jelly's explosion are not sharp, the ones that strike a surface can bounce off and potentially hit a target, making the blast stronger.

When you apply a blob of jelly on a flat surface, you can see the man "shock wave" on detonation. If you look carefully, you will also see a secondary shock wave, which actually rebounded off of the terrain.

very nice mod kinda makes you feel like a special ops person putting c4 on a wall :D

it would also be nice if there was a sticky to human version like the darkstorm cryo gun and a version that implodes then it would be the true trap weapon

Could you please make a bomb that releases it?
EDIT: WOOOOOOOOOO,I merged this and the weather mod to make it rain blast jelly :)
