oh hai i upgraded ur plasma cannon


Also I really like the code you have written for that, it lets me use heavy mass bullets with no recoil o 3o
Using it at close range usually takes my arm off tho

@Lizard: Ding! Props gained. :U

@Wiffles: Nah, that's not cool enough. Suicide guns have been done before, but i'm pretty sure that guns that fire the user are pretty low in number.

@dragonxp: Actually, i was thinking about removing those gifs altogether. Photobucket pisses me off by limiting available bandwidth, which results in the gifs not being viewable for the latter 2/3rds of all months. That being said, i still have the gifs on my computer, so i could upload them to TinyPic when i feel like doing so.

@PlusEighteen: Haha, u mad bro? :U
Also, yeah, that code is very nifty. I've used it in numerous weapons, where an AEmitter firing the particles would pose a significant threat to the user. Doesn't work very well at close range, as you mentioned, but at least it inherits the actors velocity, unlike the AEmitter method.

No particular news to report, other than the fact that the Soviet Pistol is turning out nicely. Doesn't work too well when fired while moving quickly, but you rarely need to do that in the first place. It's mainly for launching you from a standstill, preferrably into someones face.

Breaking news:



♥♥♥♥ hell i love MORays. Allowing me to do effective Pyro Snipers. :U

Apologies for another double post by the way, but you guys just aren't active enough in here for me to wait for the next post.

now make it fire crabs.

Best idea I've seen all day. And I've seen some gooduns.

Zero Division Cannon is like OMFG!??!?

So... Laggy... And destructive... The only map with a brain to be destroyed which could be hidden from one shot was the Swarm map. And it got within five full-screen centimeters to it. That's something.

I felt that some weapons were unpolished, like the Generic Cannon, and the MFTBS felt sort of like a generic shotgun with massive recoil and maybe somewhat heavier bullets (I found that if I aimed in the same area of an actor with a Coalition Shotgun I'd get the same results, and that's the chest). But the bombs- Oh, the bombs! Nothing like packing, say, Whitty's Nuke craft with... Five cluster nukes!! ;D

Circle saw upgrade in progress

If only I could get it to burrow through the ground but not leave a gaping hole

Holy hell, will this and that upgraded canon be in update?

probably not.

I could give it to you if you want, they're really basic changes though.
Also they make the game lag like crazy
And I've since changed them again so they don't lag as hard, so those pics aren't completely accurate
You can make the plasma cannon do that on it's own, just go into the PlasmaCannon.ini file and change

AddActor = Actor
PresetName = Plasma Shell
Mass = 8
RestThreshold = -500
...
AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOPixel
CopyOf = Final Blast Particle
Count = 400
Spread = 3.14
MaxVelocity = 20
MinVelocity = 1

to

AddGib = Gib
GibParticle = MOPixel
CopyOf = Final Blast Particle
Count = 4000
Spread = 3.14
MaxVelocity = 20
MinVelocity = 1

The saw is a little more complicated, and I'd like to release it here once I polish it some more, with shook's permission of course, since it uses a lot of his code

Thanks, but can you explain what exactly does it change? I've seen the code for the first time in cc, does it mean that you shoot an obect that upon being destroyed breaks into the number of particles?
Man, how much do I have to learn (I want to make a mission... stupid me...)

The little things that there are 400 of are the final particles, the ones that destroy things. Shook used a method that first fires an actor, then the actor gibs into the particles. He did this to avoid a recoil that would probably make the holder of the gun literally explode. If he had just fired 400 particles, then physics says that a CRAPLOAD of force would be fired backwards back onto the gun, exploding the actor holding it.

If you mean the plasma cannon, I just made it shoot more boolets

I meant the whole extract, thanks for explanation Hyperkultra. And of course thanks for code Now the op weapon becomes even more op, poor Unitec

Shook, seriously when you decide to use another sprite and apply your codes
knowledge in it, all we'll be lost and very far away to triumph, until now, just awesome ^^
