[release][b]Killer Melons[/b]
This is a SENT that I made a few days ago, they chase you using a line of sight system, similar to that found in the Epimetheus Drone Launcher, where they will move to the position where they could last see you. When they get near enough they lunge at you and when killed their gibs grow into more Killer Melons.
Here is a video showing the melons when the LOS system was being debugged, the debug cross shows the last position that I was when they could see me:

:siren:To get the particle effect to work you need to move it from [i]garrysmod/addons/KillerMelon/particles[/i] to [i]garrysmod/particles[/i]:siren:
For clarity, this SENT was inspired by Mahalis' Demon Melons, but that doesn't mean that it is an exact replica. The movement is completely different, my melons actually kill you and can track you round corners etc. To be honest, the only similarity is that they both are melons and they both duplicate themselves.
ROFL! Looks awesome! Very nice job making it search you and not get stuck to walls.
Did you get the idea for this from Mahalis's Demon Melons? ([url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=661153[/url])

Yes I did, and if you read that thread you can see that I asked for his permission to release this because of such similarities. But by all means I did not look at his code.
Oh, sorry, I didn't read the entire thread. Well done :)
I don't like it all that much, they move to fast, they kill you in one swipe and the effects don't work.

I forgot to add the particle effect to the archive. Re-uploaded.
hell, my gmod crashed 50 melons :P
[QUOTE=GawsherMcGee;19176851]Huzzah! Possum awesome!
Melon survival gamemode, please.[/QUOTE]
I made it long time ago. Might port it to fretta soon.
lol what happens if you nuke them...
If you nuke them, the gibs are destroyed as well. So no new melons

There is always a survivor...ALWAYS
Which is why earth is doomed because of the god damned antlions after the combine leave.
EDIT:
Hey, is the dev-mode with the target LOS showing still in that download? Console command?
A diffrent trail and ENT:Touch() has a if ent:IsPlayer() then ent:Kill() added to it?

No, that was only in the version I had when I was debugging it.

What?
Could you release one with the dev feature? I'd like to know how successfull it's - stalking me at.
I think wizey was asking if this is just like mahalis's but with a green effect, and he seems to think that yours instantly kills upon touching the player, which it doesn't, in single player I tried that and it seems to kill by physics force.

I haven't got that version any more, but I will happily make it again for you. Also Wizey!, this is not like Mahalis' melons, look at the video of his, then look at mine.

Physics force it is.

Done, turn developer mode on to see the target of the melons.

Could you make a version that doesn't collide with the player? A pet more than a killer, sort of thing.

Yea
[editline]07:55PM[/editline]
Do you want them to be invulnerable or still be able to die (and multiply)?

Still multipliable.
Done, these melons don't kill you, they just follow you around and make cute noises :v:.
Here is an image of the particles for them:

Extract it to garrysmod/garrysmod
As people have said, it is actually a little too smart.
Would you mind making a version that when you kill them, they don't multiply? But if they kill, they do?
1 melon- kill- 2 melon- kill- 3 melon- kill melon- 2 melon- kill- 3 melon- etc.
Would make a perfect "zombie" plague of melons. Always wanted one that had a los system. They smell fear. That and blood. You're fucked. :v:
Release them in an RP server. The cops'll have fun trying to quarantine the problem.
Edit: is it possible to make npcs afraid of the melon? Watching Kleiner run from the melons would be awesome.
I will make the zombie melons that multiply when they get a kill and make all NPCs afraid of them, but I'm not going to update the other versions of the melons to make NPCs afraid of them.

That's fine.
:smug: Nice melons you got there. Are they real? :v: Had to.
make them attack npcs and vice versa.
As soon as they can attack npcs this addon will become epic. It's still good now, lot's of fun. Turn on noclip and go up high, they band together as some sort of tornado!
