So I've been trying to make a swoop da whoop weapon out of the DSTech Judgement.
Here is what I got so far.






The code is a mess so far. But I've been trying to align everything properly and been having trouble. What do you guys think?

ya alligning is really annoying its pretty much hit and miss(especially with something that big)

Hmm... lol.
Very nice work, offsets and such are a pain in the ass, but it comes with modding.
And also, for reload, reloadclick, and fire sounds... it'd get really annoying, but also be very lulful if you had "Imma chargin' meh lazor" for reload, "imma firin' meh lazor" for reload click, and "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" for fire noise. XD A version with and without sound would be nice if you did this though...

Yeah, if you have no idea how offsets work. It's an exact and predictable thing.
If you guess the right offset, chances are, it's only close enough to look about right, and you've wasted time guessing & checking.

The following should be helpful.

To put things real simply;

SpriteOffset:
+ = <^
- = <V
(0,0 is upper/left corner of the sprite. This offset sets the center of mass of the offset, and the other offsets of an object are based off this)

Other general offsets:
+ = >^
- = <V

When I thought about doing something like this, I figured I'd just make an actor that looked like Cell from DBZ, and make it look like it was just firing from his big, red, googley-eyed mouth.

Complete with sounds, pretty much as Zinc described.

I'm going to add sounds to it sooner or later.
