Add the teleport function with save on reload, this thing is powerful enough for a charge secondary fire.
also... 2 firing functions is kinda mehh so i suggest adding something related with teleportation or the model won't make any sense.
[QUOTE=Yearrlz;20159678]So far it's mostly with spawning the "red mist" when it hits an NPC, some npcs only fly backwards, others refuse to die, alyx explodes but doesn't die, she needs 2 hits and stuff like that...
take some take to shoot some npc's and you will find out. Oh and one sugestion: make striders explode when hit by it, maybe spawn some fancy particles ? right now they just fall to the ground, if they exploded the thing would look a lot more dramatic and kewl. Like the magnusons.[/QUOTE]
Yes extremely tough essential NPCs can take multiple hits, this is a feature since you probably don't want to accidentally one shot alyx or gordon in the campaign.
Striders, I didn't want to oneshot, because that's ridiculously over the top, I did want to gib them on a kill, but I couldn't find a good way to do it while still shooting them 3~ times.
[QUOTE=hexpunK;20161892]A fairly generic secondary fire that would be interesting would be a charge like the Tau Cannon from Hl1. Just so I can charge it up and rip props off at higher speeds. Even if it uses all the ammo. It feels like that would fit in well with the animations it has.[/QUOTE]
I agree with this, as we couldn't take the fort out quickly enough. Maybe a thicker beam as well, and a new sound, with more punch to it.
Dammit it seems to be almost the same problem as with the Melonium for me. I'm getting this error!
"weapons/weapon_massdriver/shared.lua:298: attempt to call global 'DamageInfo' (a table value)"
:iia:

Sounds like you have some kind of mod which overrides standard gmod lua, or sandbox, or something.
Damageinfo should never error up.
I was looking at the "What are you working on V2" thread. saw you're mass driver cannon when reading though posts.
And the found that after reading it. you posted this thread.
The universe wants me to have this weapon. :v:
When firing at nothing:
weapons/weapon_massdriver/shared.lua:220: attempt to call field 'ParticleTracerEx' (a nil value)
When shooting someone:
weapons/weapon_massdriver/shared.lua:300: attempt to call method 'SetDamageType' (a nil value)
On clean GMOD!!!
Again, those are errors which really shouldn't occur since they're default functions.
OMG you should make a second one with a District 9 arc gun skin

Agreed with this idea.
this is actually so fkn awesome.

Dont you mean

In all honesty, I wouldn't mind this having a couple of different fire modes, like a heat ray that fries anything in its path. Or perhaps make it like the Plasma gun from Soldier of Fortune, where the secondary fire would cause them to explode from the inside.
After watching district nine I'm attempted to make the same swep but with an electrical arc effect and the model from D-9

Heat ray? like in war of the worlds?(The book and musical that is. the movie sucks)
[QUOTE=Empty_Shadow;20549829]After watching district nine I'm attempted to make the same swep but with an electrical arc effect and the model from D-9[/QUOTE]
The W-Model for that swep is done already, if I recall correctly.
[QUOTE=Max Guevara;20550236]Heat ray? like in war of the worlds?(The book and musical that is. the movie sucks)[/QUOTE]
Also the same effect as the gun in District 9 has. It has been used in many many different movies and games.
I felt like saying this cause this is awesome...
I got this from a troll down in the "jailbreak" sweps thread.
HOLY PEELS BATMAN! CAN I HAVE ONE?
:buddy:

Kinda. The Martian Heat Ray is just that: it blasts you to dust, a very strong "POOF!". Still, I wouldn't mind the Arc Gun, just that I kind of wish it had that gory mess.
Anyone who makes an arc gun is completely welcome to use my gib effects.

Oh. You arent making it? :frown:
Prolly not.
I'm kinda off lua scripting for a while.
I'll be back to coding in about a month or two :P

Uuuhm. you're thinking of the Dessication ray from the new movie(Which sucked as a WOTW adaption. but otherwise was a pretty good movie) The original just charred your torso.
I use this as my admin gun. haha
There's a Arc Gun view model now. This won't be to hard, right?

I just can't hold saying this: If we look at how great and special this gun is in a 1-5 scale, then it's 4/5. Unlike many other unoriginal guns, this one has new potential in it which makes it special and different from those other guns that just shoot bullets with weird sounds (PEW PEW PEW) or objects.
I'm hoping for a V2 of this gun with much more cool, distinguishable features(WITH LOTS OF EFFECTS lol).
Aww, I was hoping this would be somewhat like the Mass Driver from Descent 3..Someone should remake that. That thing was awesome.
This is fun to play with though. :P
Alt Fire: Slightly weaker sustained laser beam that can cut ragdolls in half.
Copy dismemberment mod's method of doing this :D, might be a little harder when you cut of an arm and it spawns a ragdoll, shrinking everything except the arm...actually never mind. Just a sustained las-NO, I HAVE A BETTER IDEA!
To promote laser jumping, I present to you!
Alt fire: THE LASER JET
Yes, the laser jet, a sustained jet of particles ENTIRELY based on backwards force, doing no damage but propelling you anywhere at a manageable speed, controlled by three modes that you can choose with E+Left Click, from cruising to Ludicrous Speed.
Yes, this should match up with the primary fire nicely :3.
Makes me think of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s Gauss Gun. :P
A reload animation would be nice... and a zoom...
but otherwise, PERFECT. Makes me feel cooler than RAMBO!
