Warmelons: Outfit battleships with turrets, or form armies of melons. - Developers

Yes, I got that bug too. I'm going to make another melon, anyone got any ideas? EDIT: I'm making a warmelon that eats other warmelons, then explodes when it gets too full. Har, my melon ate me. Must make sure that does not happen again.

Awesome!!

Right, the gobbler melons are nearly done, I just need to find an awesome eating sound. [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=28614][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=28614[/img][/url] Wooo! Gobbler melons and Jihad melons in one pack! I'll keep all my melons in packs from now on, it'll make it easier to add to the old ones. Oh, there's nothing new about the jihad melons, so don't redownload if you don't want the gobbler melons. I don't see why you wouldn't.

[QUOTE=CowThing]Ok heres some bugs. When you put force on a medic it spams this error [code]entties/johnny_medic/init.lua:54: attempt to index global 'angle' (a nil value)[/code] When you dupe a cannon it becomes a fighter of the same team, and when you dupe a medic it becomes the white team. Setting force on a medic make them have a lot more health(maybe there healing themselves) Suggestions: make the medic and the melon its healing glow, or maybe have a sparkly effect between the 2 so you know its working and what melon its working on.[/QUOTE] I've added particle effects to the medics, now you get a little burst of red particles coming from the melon that gets healed. Also these errors will be addressed soon. In the meantime, what do you people want to see next in the way of new weaponry? Also, give me feedback on these cannons. I want to know if they need balancing, or changing or anything. Also, the medics do heal themselves, that's intended. Besies combat repair, medics are there so that if you get any wear and tear ie accidental damage, your medics will make sure they're fresh for the battle.

Duplicator works fine for the Fighters, but the cannons turn into fighters and the medics lose their colour(the others don't).

[QUOTE=Feldor]Duplicator works fine for the Fighters, but the cannons turn into fighters and the medics lose their colour(the others don't).[/QUOTE] That should be fixed now, but I've not tested it or anything. I'll go test it now. [b]Edit:[/b] Yeah, the duplication errors are fixed now, as is the medics with force error.

I would suggest a tracker missile melon and maybe a melon core that you place inside a ship or base. When this core is shot it explodes, but it deals great damage and a fairly big radius which takes down the whole ship and or base.

I finished the core idea. This entitie takes down over 150hp and has a radius a little smaller than the explosive barrel.

I would like a tool that can change any prop's team so the melons not only shoot at the other melons but also at the hull.

Ill make a eating sound :) give me a bit Where can i upload sounds?

[url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=28640[/url] I can do it again if you want

How about a fireball melon, it will shoot a fireball that will catch props on fire for 3 seconds and take 5 seconds to reload? A lazah melon that fires lazahs, maybe make them charge too. Could you put all the melons in one stool with a drop down menu? It took me a while to notice each type was it's own stool. It could also help keep the menu less cluttered.

I got another idea. What about a melon that is almost like a fighter, but it fires lasors at a slower rate. Wait. Crap. dang it cow thing you beat me to it.

bomber would be cool they drop bombs but after every bombing they have too refuel somewhere at a refuel station or something

Is it as easy as changing the category to one that doesn't exist?

Thanks for the download tell me what you think of them.

[QUOTE=MegaJohnny]I'll give the warmelons their own category when I find out how to add categories. Is it as easy as changing the category to one that doesn't exist?[/QUOTE] how about my ideas??? they are pobably not good anyways, but read them and say what you think.

Category? Do you mean their own tab in the menu or a stool that has a tab with types? If it is their own tab all you do is this. [lua]TOOL.Category = "MelonWars"[/lua]

Awesome

Keeping this mod simple and concentrating on the weapons and abilities seems like the sensible thing to do. The cannons are great but overpowered I think when used in groups, there best used as a main gun on a ship with the fighters as smaller hardpoints. Excellent mod though keep up the good work, its things like this that keep GarrysMod interresting.

[QUOTE=J0hAnN48]how about my ideas??? they are pobably not good anyways, but read them and say what you think.[/QUOTE] They're perfectly valid ideas, but they seem a little complicated. Maybe in a later version. Also, right now I'm working on a STOOL that turns any entity you like into a target for Warmelons. The prop will be targeted as if it were a warmelon, and like normal melons you can set their team. So if your battleship has a power core, which is just a barrel or something, you can shoot it with the STOOL, and enemy melons will try and destroy it. [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=JOHNCANDY12]Category? Do you mean their own tab in the menu or a stool that has a tab with types? If it is their own tab all you do is this. [lua]TOOL.Category = "MelonWars"[/lua][/QUOTE] Cool, thanks. I didn't know it was automatic. Next version will also feature a custom Warmelons category. If you make any custom STOOLS, it's advised that you put them in the "(WarMelons)" category. The brackets are to make sure it's at the top. I think special characters come before the alphabet, do they?

can you put the jihad an other "fan" made melons in that version too?

[QUOTE=J0hAnN48]can you put the jihad an other "fan" made melons in that version too?[/QUOTE] It seems wrong to me, like if Garry put PHX and things into Garry's Mod by default. It would be good, but bad. If it's alright with the creators of the custom models I may compile a pack of the custom melons, but my priority remains with the official pack.

I'm a little surprised no one mentioned this even though its simple. Could you maybe add a shotgun fighter? I've already done this, but since you are making an uber mod I would rather you release it.

I've had that idea myself for a short while, but yes, I'll consider that as well.

That is absolutely awesome but if you weld it to a prop, a crate say, and you select moving will it be able to carry the weight or will it sink?If it can't carry the weight how do I make it "fly".
