New weapon: solar wind - emrys merlin - 04-16-2011 I realized that the laser's effect of blasting other people away could be put to good use ![]() This new weapon could be shooting orangish clouds of solar dust, pushing people away or boosting your teammates in CTF etc. It could have like a really long charging time, and also a certain amount of damage. Giv me some time to make the model.

Plus the hook can grab enemies and has a gravity bomb alt fire.

I'll only agree with the laser I guess. The HLAC/Mortar don't really push people away, they're more like a different version of the machine gun. RL, xon/nex and Fireball can kill your teammates and the fireball ridiculous slow. The kind of weapon I'm thinking of is like a massive version of a hairdryer, or a more effective version of the laser if you prefer, and doesn't really do direct damage but rather blows people away. (more like another super weapon) RE: New weapon: solar wind - Mirio - 04-17-2011 The Mortar is beside the Laser the ultimative weapon to push people of maps. ![]() And the best weapon to boost is Nex for sure. RE: New weapon: solar wind - emrys merlin - 04-17-2011 noooo I meant a weapon that doesn't do direct damage and has a unique kind of projectile! RE: New weapon: solar wind - theShadow - 04-17-2011 your ideas sounds more like a proposal to replace the laser. basically something with the exact same function, but with a different effect and an idea for WHY it pushes people around.

No, the laser will never be replaced. It is so fundamental in xonotic that theres no way it should/could be replaced. What I am saying here is that maybe we can expand the laser's most basic effect into another weapon that has a larger push strength. And that is not exactly how i use the laser. |
