the name is irrelevant. the point is that it goes through walls.

Railgun: A rifle that fires projectiles using electrical-magnetic railings to propel them at supersonic speeds.

However, it is a common misconception that a railgun can pierce through solid objects, and many times in science-fiction, that is true. The former definition is the technical and correct one, so you should change the name before Darlos finds this thread and verbally rapes you.

Oh, come off it now. There's no obligation to realism or accuracy. A mod can be wrong if that's what it's creator wants.

Hmm, I got the same effect on something I made, but I did it in a more roundabout way that only worked for one team. For general use, your way is superior. But if one would want to make it getting in enemy hands something to worry about, as a gameplay feature, maybe my way would be preferable. So I suppose I'll just stick with it and incorporate that.

Anyways, nifty weapon. It'd be nice if it didn't damage dirt so much though.

He's not that touchy about realism, especially if the mod is decently competent as this one is.

Fixed.

A brilliant idea. Roon3 (and Findude), would you mind me using it for the Carpet bombing gun in UniTec? This way it doesn't have to have an initial ridiculously high price tag.

Yay, more comments!
Anyway no more crap about realism, if you don't like the name rename it. (and no more crud about Darlos being a mean realism freak, he isn't)


Sending craft into the sky?


It used to put holes sand only, but I thought it was too weak, it couldn't do any damage to dummies.

Also, no need to ask for permission if you want to use this concept.

Thanks for the good responses!

Edit:
Crazy bunker designs!

Great kewl idea, now if you only made it bigger.....

Is this the first time paying for ammo's been used? If it is, THANK YOU. SO MUCH! This tiny mechanic makes all the difference to me it's so awesome. Hurray for non-terrain raping, brain sniping too!

This would be worth keeping, if it didn't have a short range.

Numgun should use this to balance out his super weapons instead of the atrocious reload times.

Honestly, that's a brilliant idea.


A shame that a gun like this could be abused in a last resort situation though; firing just sets you into negative funds.

The firing effects are pretty and the mechanic is neat. Well done.

Thanks Control.

Longer range means more particles, (it uses 300 now) and more particles mean more lag, recoil etc. I could weaken the particle (For less recoil) but then it wouldn't damage stuff very well. (Last time I tried the laser couldn't damage metal)

More comments!!

Now that I think about it, this is really more of an indoors weapon meant for fighting in bunkers. A longer range isn't required when you're not outdoors.

Youre missing a mining tunnel in your base, Roon3. Who's gonna fund those shots? :p

But yeah, it sounds like a badass idea. Could be very nifty for the ypsilon painter gun when I put it in the AAL 3rd pack... That way you'll be having so much fun blasting with the cannons so you'll end up having no money which is a good thing. And you dont have to worry about the painter vanishing from your hands. The next build has startup feature for guns so it will become handy aswell.

Why not just make it fire an emitter that fires the shot if recoil is a problem?
