Then do it. If you can pull this off you own a place of honor in my credits page Also I'll PM ya my current nuke so you can mess around with the good thing not the old version, it has changed a little.

Oh good god, I forgot all about this.

I'm so sorry, I'm working on my own mod as of halfway through the summer holidays. You'll have to find another coder, not that I did much good anyway .

Tee he!

bit of progress.

who need uranium when you can have SPARKLE MAGIC!

(note how the dummy turns into a plume of smoke)

Oh that's just cute man!
I'd say make the smoke more whole-body, it just starts at his feet there.
Nice idea though.

yeah, the lua for that part is done though, i just have to make the MOSR that explodes into smoke gib instantly, so it does it in the middle of the actor simultaneously with the actors vanishing.
also, im going to increase the range.
im just about 55% done with it. i have the gib and vaporize fields done, now comes the damaging one, and fine tuning their ranges. on the bright side, its totally laggless compared to the original, and MORE damaging.

Do the affected actors disappear or gib? I'd prefer gibbing...

this depends: when there close (within 300 pixels currently) they dissaper and make a puff of smoke. if there medium:
(700 pixels currently) they Gib, and if there far, (1500 pixels currently) they lose health.

Initially I thought so too, but when you think about it, there wouldn't be anything left to be classified as gibs.
Their whole body is being incinerated instantly.

smoke effect needs a bit of work. use an AEmitter, not a gibbing MOSR (which is what you're doing, from what i've read.)

The completely incinerating thermal pulse requires line of sight. The concussive wave that would be what was affecting that dummy would not in any way incinerate it. Though it doesn't really matter; the mechanism Lafe described sounds pretty good.

I dare you to implement Raycasting in CC without causing heaps of lag

It'd be a lot easier just to have a bunch of particles. And it'd automatically make the thermal flash weaker at longer distances.

lul, we totally dont already have raycasting functions that dont lag very much
jesus christ.

I agree. Ray casting is not as laggy as lets say:

Bump. I'm still waiting for that poof smoke effect lafe.
Nvm I didn't bump only for that. I just found that the static nuke almost lagged as much as the new fireball nuke on my pc so screw the fireballs. Next version coming up next week returning to the static nuke because lag = slow motion and slow motion = epic.

So if anyone comes here complaining about lag, I will give this as an argument :

Nukes are a factor of lag in EVERY ♥♥♥♥ GAMES. Look at Crysis. Nuke? Lag. Fallout 3. Nuke? Lag.
Nukes are MEANT to be lagging. It makes the game slower and give you more time to look at that magnificent fire mushroom slowly consuming everything around it.

So yeah, get over it kids. For me, quality > performance. I'm pretty sure that most ppl agree with me here.
