Well, it mostly works. It's very violent though. I'll mess with numbers later and see if I can get it to work how I pictured. Main problem now is that it can't deflect incoming bullets 99% of the time.

Just change the where ever you find

with something higher than 2 if you want it to act faster.

Ah, seems that has a catch. Instant terrain rape and lagfest. I highly doubt there's a way to ignore terrain particles and only affect bullets, right?

Oh, just change:

That has the side effect of it not blocking rockets, but it works.

I got a new idea for a fun weapon: Super Plasma Slingshot

The gun works like this:
1. Fire one marker. It will record the position or just stay there...
2. Fire the second marker. It will calculate the distance and angle to the first marker and based on the distance, it will launch a large hot ball of plasma towards the first marker.

You can change the way it works in anyway you see it fit, and if you want I can sprite you a basic ball of plasma and some glows if you want any. The point is: a tricky-to-use cannon that fires a massive and heavy ball of plasma based on the two markers that create a vector.

I would say that I did not know enough trig, but I wonder if seting the velocity of the plasma ball to a reduced marker1.pos - marker2.pos would work.

Update 2.14:
Added marker targeting auto fire drones.

However, Lua Tech is waiting shipment of several late ordered plasma charges.

Jesus christ dude, slow down.

The ones I told I could do if you wanted? What size then? Since you made some sort of drones I dont think they'll be firing massive boulders of plasma, but something smaller. : P

About 5x5 should be good enough.

You should make a marker that will stick to things like terrain, actors, and ships. The marker should die once it's parent dies. You should assign a button to remove all markers, too.

Maker currently does stick to MOs.

You are right about the marker remover, though.

Bump for update 2.14.1:
New sprites, thanks to numgun
Plasma markers more reliable.

Oh........MAH.............GAWD.........!!!!!!!Dude WTF slow down a little bit.......are you working on these all the fudging day?

You know you got a good mod when people start complaining about new stuff being added to it.
