I thought I'd celebrate the release of build 25 with a mod with some build 25 features.



The laser reaches up to 25 meters (500 pixels) and can destroy soldiers and dreadnoughts with concentrated fire. The weapon can also be used to 'strafe' an area to suppress enemy troops. The weapon can fire for approximately 3 seconds and automaticaly recharges itself from 0% to 100% battery power in 10 seconds.

*Update: Fixed a map-wrapping issue.

Even just this little thing goes to show how much we needed scriptable attachables.

Aaaugh, its like heaven.

For some reason this doesn't work for me, Just shoots nothing.

D'aww, it's a love gun.

What build are you using? Any errors in the Lua console?

Very nice, it makes me think of some other neat recharger weapon ideas.

Some kind of electricity-based weapon. It's a must.

What I had in mind was an plasma-y weapon that generates energy that you can either continuously use for infinite weak & rapid fire, or you can let off the trigger for a while, and have a big shotgun-like blast for your next shot, with respective power to how long you waited between shots. Sort of like the dummy Annihilator, but instead of holding the trigger to charge up, you let off.

Or firemodes, with the different modes consuming different amounts of energy.
Say, rapid, shotgun blast and long range sniper blast.

Edit:

That is simply magnificent.

Ideas indeed.
Think I'll throw this around for a while and see what happens.

Nice, I always have thought something in CC that dynamically branches out would be cool. That could be an electrical arc like that, or trees.

Slax your concept art drawings are very good.

Do you sprite?

And Lizard, that sprite is awesome ♥♥♥♥.

No, I'm much too impulsive to be able to handle spriting.
Moved and expanded the idea to the UniTec thread if anyone's interested.
