Sends out an invisible particle that instakills anything.

Clones don't have names, too bad. And you might have to hack into the Coalition servers to get every clone's code. Then again, it's hard to tell which clone is which. Then again, you can use the Death's eye to know their code. But then again, it halves your lifetime. Then again, you are just a brain controlling another body.

So it works!

Or simply make a Death actor.

Okay, lets stop with random anime topic, despite it being partially my fault.

im just going to assume you're going to start working and the next release is going to have sex with my CC.

For some reason this mod won't work for me. i installed it right i think, all the other mods work fine, but when i d'l this mod and extract it to cortex command folder it doesn't work.

This is a B22 mod.
I don't think anyone found a B22 to B23 conversion yet.

Works for me! Also, Darlos, you should make that ninja takedown combat knife. That would be epic.

no i was using it in b22 though. it just wouldn't load. the game would start fine, just without and darkstorm mods.

The what now?

Also, a quick update: I've been messing around with all of the available Lua functions and am making some slow progress. I won't be able to do all of the things I promised since options are still kinda limited. But I'll be able to do a lot that I think will be interesting and unique, and also actually lend itself to stealth and subterfuge.

At the moment, I just got done working on a force field capable of stopping any high-speed projectile that has a trajectory that immediately threatens an allied unit under its influence. It lacks special effects, which is unavoidable at this point, but it functions perfectly. I also created an EMP grenade that creates a zone that shuts down any unit that falls into it for up to 15 seconds. Furthermore, I have perfectly-functioning air-burst proximity grenades, and also have it set up so Shoguns can drop their special weapons and pick them back up, but nobody else can.

Right now I'm trying to see if I can combine ray casting and an actor's current sight/aim angle to do some fancy targeting and stealth things. Also, I'm pretty confident I can develop my own system of recoil for guns, which could be interesting. Though now that I think about it, I'm not sure how I would factor in an actor's inherent strength for resisting the recoil. I suppose I could just base it off of the actor's overall mass...

Released-ness would be awesometastic.

I would love a force field.

is the chaff going to be more smokey and less hacky soon? also, for the force-field, couldnt you make it spawn tiny smoke ball 1 particles when a high speed particle enters the force field? that would be a cool effect.

Unless somebody can explain how to do that with Lua, no. So far I haven't figured out how to use Lua to spawn something defined in an ini... which feels wrong.


Actually, it's going to be non-existent until some clean idea comes into my head, which might be some time. No, that's not an invitation for suggestions.


Hold your horses. I'll be done when I'm done.

dummy code, not working unless you consider everything smoking "working".
? it should feel wrong, its entirely possible and awesome. hopefully that gives you an idea of how to do it

Rargh, I saw that somewhere else and rushed over here to change my post before I looked dumb. Too late.

This'll make a sensible chaff grenade much simpler as well. I can also use this to visualize my line-of-sight raycasting stuff, to figure out why the hell it isn't working.
