Press Fire to fire hook. Hook is now stuck to something and is pulling you towards target Press Fire again to stop the pulling. (Tarzan swing mode) Press Fire Once more to let go.
Additionally a climb-up button may be assinged to the jump button or something but this is a good scheme. How about an extend line button??

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 7/11/08
My controls are the best. Anyways, Darlos I think you need to give the RPG some more power. A normal DarkStorm clone survived 4 hits. Another clone was practicly immune to it.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 7/11/08
Sigh... I'm not sure how to make the thing decently powerful without it being downright friggin instagibbing. It's a hard thing to do. Should all the damage be through sharp shrapnel? If so how much? Or maybe there should be shrapnel AND a short-range blunt impact burst. But is that how explosions cause damage? And how strong should the burst be if it does? Eeergh, so many possible details...
It's hard to balance it out right. I want to make something that does a decent amount of damage to actors all around the burst area. But at the same time I don't want to make it so something just automatically dies every time it gets hit.... or is that okay?
Sigh.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 7/11/08
I would say that 40% damage from mass 60% damage from shrapnel impact

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 7/11/08
Maybe it should just be mass going extremely fast. Then again, I have no idea what that would do.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 7/11/08
@candlejack... that would just gib things. you make a TD explosive that shoots mass = 300 particles, at just about any speed. any vanilla actor will be gibbed at any speed. (except like <0.1 or something) bad idea
anyway.
make the long range particles (ones going at higher speed with the same lifetime, or same speed more lifetime.. whatever.) shrapnel and quite sharp. then make some lower range particles be based on blunt force (simulating the air blast from any explosion. hey, make them air blast particles.. maybe) and have some (a low amount) of insanely fast, sharp, low mass, low lifetime particles coming out at a range of maybe 5-8 px from the blast, for real damage on impact, and some decent cuts. and when you have sticky stuff you can make it flamey aswell, for now just make the same burney sprites. thatll make the explosion do a lot of damage on a hit, as well as having some range and throw actors.
thats what im going to do for mine..

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 7/11/08
Guess I've missed out on quite abit of WIN lately, havn't I? Crobos, new AAL stuff, etc. Ahh well.
On Topic: I can't see anything wrong, so, win-muffin for you! Maybe WIN-Cake too, if you make an epic/awesome/win spider tank/thing. No hesitance on this DL.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 7/11/08
Sorry, I can't really reply to anything interesting that might've been said recently. I'm in the middle of moving between apartments. My server is going down probably until Monday, if not longer. I don't really have time to submit the actual .rte to the boards, so maybe if somebody else wants to do that...
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 7/11/08
Read the post above Divix, he's moving to another apartament and his server is down atm. You'll be able to DL this mod later, meanwhile you can ask someone to give it to you. (Dont look at me btw )

CAENGE LAWG?
Didn't download it, ♥♥♥♥.
Basically the explosions are a bit more repetitive than they were and i think he took out expended clips.
