I'm pretty sure it can be easily done, I just have too much to do to make this one myself. So yeah, its a big missile, that throws a crapload of other little missiles before making a massive explosion when hitting the ground.

Here's the video :
The Jericho

So can anyone build this monster?

Hmm.
I could do this if I had a sprite.
EDIT:
And some good explosion effects.

Duh102 said he was doing it. Dunno what happened.

I failed miserably. It was a PoS.

Would this need Sparkle Magic, and if so, would we need to contact one of the Sparkle Mages, or could it just be done semi hackishly via gibbing? Have the missile gib into:
A) The spent Jericho case
B) Side panels
and C) a fudgeload of missiles.
Wow, can't believe I misspelled missile.

The original missile needs to be homing. When it chooses a target, when it comes within 200 pixels (10 meters) of the target it gibs into

Such an incredible idea, can't wait to test it.

Well since nobody really made it, I'm going to do it and I already know how I'll do it WITHOUT lua. I got a lot of free time today and I can't continue my nuke until lafe tries to lua it.

Edit : Not that hard to recreate... Made this after 2 hours using code from my nuke and my spriting skills for the missile : (Sorry if its huge but I can't make it any smaller.)


Still needs a wind blast, offsets fixing and lua for the homing thing, but I still made that in 2 hours and these are easy fixes, as long as there is someone for the lua coding. Maybe better explosions too. Wind blast can be done with the same method I used for the heat wave on my nuke.

Also if anyone can make a turret for this I would be grateful because I kinda hate coding these... I always fail at it. Right now it can only be spawned in the bunker mode...

Nice, but one small thingy.
The missile itself explodes too? It doesn't do that because it's only filled with those small bombs.

I agree, the case shouldn't explode. Also, how will this be fired? Will there be a handheld version, for large infantry to fire it?

The case does explodes, that's why there is some big explosions after all the little swarm missiles explodes (I Think?). Also the handheld version will be the first thing I make because I can't code the turret myself.

The case explodes because it's not cost effective to make a missile that relies on the idea that its tiny little wingmen will be enough to annihilate everything in range. Also, I think this should be a turret.

FlammableZombie has never heard of cluster bombs.

Does that look like the case explodes? Spoilers: it doesn't.

Also a repulsing effect would be fairly easy and possible with Lua.

Before anyone posts anything else right? The Jericho isn't a cluster bomb, its a bunker buster with clusters.

Locked due to outliving its usefulness
