Engine cannon was too much fun... overpowered fun

PM'd Mehman about the theme. Once I get a reply, we'll start this up again.

New contest theme up: Artillery!

Just posting some pics I found that might be relevant to sparking people's imaginations







So basically I assume that as long as it's powerful, long-ranged, and blows stuff up, it works right?

Right

ry, please don't use image tags for gigantic images.

Shame mods that have already been made and released are excluded, or I'd probably ask Asklar if we could joint-submit the arty strikes in the 40K recomp as an entry.

whoops, spoilered the pics now

You know what I think would be a fun theme?

Equipped units.

One unit, equipped with at least one gun and one device (shield/tool/thrown device).

If i had a choice id prefer something the around the limits of Brute force, a tank from left for dead for instance.
We already have the survivors anyway but you know what im trying to say..Hunters from halo, hell knight from doom, tyrants from resident evil..Im surprised i havent seen any of those creations anywhere.

You shouldn't be, its because a reason... walkpaths, a cruel prostitute which take lots of time and when work it does tricky

I guess i haven't been informed on how hard "walk paths" are but..could you explain how a bigger actor could have complications?

Sure, the faster way to develop one actor bigger than average its using
a walkpath system which is already been created, the more big you want it,
the less amount of walkpaths you could use.

In order to create yourself the walkpaths you really gotto know the hows&whys
about coding offsets, atomgroups and weird functions "DislodgeLimbPath".

In other words don't even think about it.

There have been creations of larger actors so i was thinking along the lines of basically using their walkpaths. Clearly i have no clue on any of this so ill stop talking about this subject.
