Post Ideas?
I had a lot of fun working on my contest entry, that I want to mod something else. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything. Anyone have any ideas for a cool Lua mod? Preferably something that has not been done before.

Activate terminal in "Record mode."
Buy a craft of supplies.
Terminal detects your order on delivery, hijacking, recording, and deleting it.
Terminal saves the preset, exits record mode.

Activate Terminal in playback (order) mode.
See image of map, and target a position using crosshairs.
Terminal simulates buying and then delivers the supplies selected to the target.


Super special bonus points for using Lua IO to make the terminal save the presets into a text document such that they survive a reset of the game, and can be ordered later in other levels.

From my idea request thread. The Lua was (is) slightly out of my reach.
The terminal he's talking about is this:

A scale that shows the weight that inside a certain space?

Copy of robot 1 that can pick up stationairy brains with the press of a button and then place them in specially designed slots one place around one's base?
Maybe even a crab too?
Oh and a brain rocket too :3

Some thing that makes all the weapons on the map, or within a certain distance of the device, empty their clips, and all explosives to start cooking.

Something like the Siege Tank from Starcraft. Something that can transform (with an animation) from a vehicle to a stationary turret with a different sprite.

A bomb that destroys all of the weapons currently on the map, including those being held by actors.

OK. Pick one:

- Alternate wildlife (brutish hulks, biped beasts, etc.)
- Non-lethal technologies,
- Melee (weps, actors, etc.)
- Rideables (vehicles that you can get in/out or animals that you can get on/off)
- Transformers: vehicles that can transform into actors,
- Traps and treasures
- Level Bosses (very strong units with preferably higher AIs)
- Everything a child wants (cuteness mod)


Edit: nevermind looks like I am late to offer.

Unit hotkeys. You can hotkey a unit to any key, and when you press it you instantly take control of that unit, no blip blip of switching normally, no delay at all.

A reusable medical tool that gets rid of any and all injuries AND gives you back your original weapons you bought.

Yeah I know. I already have that. But the problem with it is that it's not reusable and that at just makes a new actor in it's place. I want to be able to JUST heal all wounds and also keep all the guns you bought. Because I have that problem with it.

Copy the previous actor's inventory via Lua, I'm sure a lua wizard here could whip up a script for it.

Ooh, the thing is that CC48 fixed the problem with the repair kit, it flawlessly copies your inventory, and gives it to the newly spawned actor.

Carrion, the following have whipped up a script for it, capnbubs, geti, CC48, TLB, and probably zalo, grif, and some others.

Make a traps mod, all kinds of crazy lua'd traps to put around your base. I have links to good trap ideas in my evil genius mod request.
