Flamethrower weapon is here!!!!!!
by The Brain (SA) · in ThinkTanks · 12/28/2003 (7:56 am) · 27 replies
On LC50's site there is a pic of his heavy tank with a flamethrower. This inspired me to have a go at making a flamethrower that actually did damage.(Either LC50's one was painted on or he alterred the muzzle flash graphic.)
Anyhoo, I have it all worked out except for one thing: I'm trying to make the stream of flame constant and i need the variable for the delay between shots. If you know this variable please tell me!!
Once I have that it's done and I will post the code on this thread so you all can use a flamethrower in your mod. Aren't I the nicest? :-)
Many thanks to LC50 for the inspitation.

You mean the code? It goes at the end of the .mis file.

If you take out the first three lines, then you will just have normal bullets by default, and the flamethrower should just be instead of the speedy powerup.Nice effect Brain.

Put the code in any file and it will work. It doesn't matter which but it suits a frantic level best!
@-Z-
I'm thinking of changing the other two weapons as well. The bouncebacks are going to be mines which you can drop behind you to escape predators. The area effect......... well I was thinking about a homing missile but it would be WAY to complex. Unless, of couse, you are willing to help.
@Will Reeves
This is the best I could make it. You think YOU can do better? Be my guest!

Everyone can see them. The code doesn't just affect the bullet's visuals but also the speed and frequency of fire. If it only affected me it would be a bit unfair!

Phat ass shit yo, continue those new powerups, the game wouldn't be the same and that mod would be bad ass.

I think I've already answered your question so you don't need to post it again.

I haven't seen you b4. Welcome to the forums!
Are you mocking my mod or praising it? I find it hard to understand "Gangster" speak, dispite the fact I'm into hiphop.
