I'm guessing extremely heavy mosrotating being propelled forwards. Possibly with HitsMOs = 0 and GetsHitByMOs = 1. Or Lua.

Looks more like a wall of sharp, short-lived MOPixels... like the deathray Duh sent me.

Dude, HM = 0, GHBM = 0 particles still damage the terrain. ( B13 Experience... )

More like yes lua, constant velocity is lua driven.

People call people princess for being such girls.
Does it kill?
And does it shield you?

Clearly you can't read.

Well not really, it's pretty simple actually...

Oh yeah, the gauntlet modules. I still have/use those. I love keeping the hallways clean of body parts and debris.
Actually, no. The gauntlets modules were cool, but I was talking about the DSTech I Tower Cleaners. I had the dig through the BMCP 2.0 rar ini files to figure out what it was called. If I recall correctly the tower cleaners did not effect actors at all, just debris and terrain.

This is cool but it doesn't look like you'll be able to mine gold with it.
Possibly you can apply some lua magic to make that possible, I don't know.

Make the projectile an actor.

I'm gonna guess you've got a zero gravity bit with constant velocity along the firing vector and moveoutofterrain or whichever function applied in update.

Thing that sucks about using an actor is that it contributes to death counts. Would be nice to have an object property or a lua function that would prevent that. DeathCounts = 0; or something.

Code:

Your the closest:

Here's the Lua code I used to make it. It uses the vector perpendicular to the direction your facing to spawn MOPixels along at the first obstacle (ie. terrain) in your line of sight.
Code:
--Update(self)   
    if self.owner:GetController():IsState(Controller.WEAPON_FIRE) then
        if self.timer:IsPastSimMS(50) then --check to see if there is ground in front of you
            local theta = ToActor(self.owner):GetAimAngle(true);
            local dir = Vector(math.cos(theta),-1*math.sin(theta));
            local endPos = Vector(0,0);
            local preEnd = Vector(0,0);
            --print(theta);

            if SceneMan:CastObstacleRay(self.gun.Pos+dir*15,dir*50,endPos,preEnd,0,0,0) > 0 then
                self.Pos = preEnd;
                self.RotAngle = ToActor(self.owner):GetAimAngle(true);
                local perpen = dir.Perpendicular;
                local part = nil;
                for i = -15, 15, 1 do
                    part = CreateMOPixel("LDiggerParticle");
                    part.Pos = self.Pos + (perpen * i);
                    part.Vel = dir;
                    MovableMan:AddMO(part);
                end
            end
            self.timer:Reset();
        end
    else
        self:GibThis();
    end


The timer is there to reduce lag.

Cool. Reminds me of some of the terrain mover tools from Pocket Tanks, ackshully.

And as numgun brought out, this means an epic new way to make even wider lasers than we could before o=

Will using this method prevent the lasers from being visibly segmented when aiming up/down?

The tool looks like it leaves gold behind, so you can't actually mine it with that tool. Then again, the topic says "dig," not "mine."

Oh, and the "Excuuse me princess!" is just a phrase from a series of HORRIBLE zelda cartoons. It doesn't have anything to do with your gender.
