Yeah, exactly. a grenade gives you time to find cover or just run, it's current form is fun, but not very safe for the firer, who has a 25% chance of hurting or killing themselves.

I, personally think you could make the gravity stronger, run slightly more often if it's pulsed and be moved yet further away. This would make it safer and you'd be able to set the terrain particles to HitsMOs = 1 if you got it right.

The orbits do need to be a little smaller, you should be able to pick it up, let it settle a into a nice, tight orbit, then FIYA!

Fixed.

By the way. I have my own sprite I made for this, 10 frames for an animation, but it won't show. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

EDIT: This gun.

SpriteAnim settings. Look through the code of a weapon with working animation and mess with the variables.

Any vanilla ones you know off the top, if any?

From the Coalition Gatling Gun:SpriteAnimMode is the way in which it animates. The values I forgot but someone should tell you soon enough... (4 is animate upon firing I assume) SpriteAnimDuration is the frame delay per frame, in milliseconds I assume. So. You'll probably get a more coherent and sensical explanation soon enough.

Ah I forgot about the wind up it has. Thanks.

EDIT: Yep that did it. Badass.

Is that version uploaded yet?

What I love about this gun, is that it doesn't kill people. It doesn't stun them, or rip them apart, or sets their health to zero.
It annihilates them, turning living creatures into bloody paste, a fine spray of meaty particles, smeared across the map; and turning robotic creatures into metal dust.


Sure, it does that to me as often as it does that to enemies, but hey, who cares!

It's like... Chuck Norris turned into a gun.

Huh...I wonder why that only happens with crushing specifically? I'll look into it.


Wait, you can editing .ini variables of individual objects through Lua O_o?! Huh. Does this mean you can change the SpriteFile variable as well? That could be useful in certain situations.

Maybe. But it would probably require some sort of work around. AllStone's idea to increase the gravity might fix this without extra Lua code.

I agree with you, the sprites you see now were made by me so I'll see if I can pimp this gun with a larger weapon sprite and better effects. I'll send the updated stuff to Kyred so he can tweak the Lua side if needed and upload the newer and better version.

Hmm... oh hell yeah, now I'm gonna make this gun look really MEAN. >8 )

Please, for gods sake, let it be in AAL colours.

i noticed that when shooting with this gun it is actually using a shockwave to propel things away from it..... even enemy bullets, i was playing with a friend, he was using a Vault-Tec units with the fat-boy launcher while i had a normal brain-robot using said particle-accelerator.....
he fired a nuke towards me while i was charging my gun, the nuke hit the ground just a few metres from me, the blast should have killed me if i hadnt released the energy i had charged with my gun.....
the result was this: nuke blows up, nuke-boom gets hit by the shockwave from the accelerator, the whole explosion got aimed from me towards my friend, friend gets killed by it, leaving me without harm.....
i have done it many times over just because it is fun.....
sadly i cannt make gif´s of it..... otherwise i would put it in epic moments.....

I would find this useful too. Like while the gun is charging and reaches a certain checkpoint of power, the gun would open up into a more scarier and deadlier mode.

The EM Laser the sprite on this was based on is exactly that, just look at it:
NORMAL:


MAXIMUM CHARGE:


I love dynamic guns. : 3
