Flame Thrower! (flamethrower.wad) Update!

[sonicfreak94]

I got bored a while back and made a flame thrower, I planned to add it to my old weapon soc, but obviously decided not to. It replaces the automatic ring.

Niiice! *downloads*

This soc is kinda cool, but you should make it so you can shoot the fire, not just drop it.

 

[sonicfreak94]

I tried and failed. I'm still working on it though. EDIT: I need it anyway for my spyro wad, so yes I am working on it :P.

Shoot a projectile, and make it spawn-object-relative upon death.

 

[sonicfreak94]

Tried it, resulted in the same thing.

 

[darkness claw]

LOVE it!
you should get bored and make socs like this more often!

 

[glaber]

Well try it again but instaed of useing the defalt flame use an edited version.

 

[zck2020]

How 'bout a better looking fireball?

jk.

 

[sonicfreak94]

That would work well, but, I would need a back frame, rather than a side.

Lucky you, I do allot.

I'm not saying that you use that particular set of sprites, though, it would look pretty cool if you spited the rest of the rotation sprites. But anyway, those aren't mine anyway. I found them on a custom sprite sheet on Google.

This is pointless in match. -_-

 

[sonicfreak94]

Have you even tried it in match? Sure it's harder, but it's fun to mess around with.

But like, you get a flame sheild when you use this, so you can't really hurt each other.

Give the flame object MF_MISSILE and MF_NOBLOCKMAP, that'll make it not hurt the player who spawned it. Allowing you to ditch the weird shield thing. Afterwords, fiddle with the speed variable to make it actually act like a projectile...

Well, you don't HAVE to, but it'd make it a bit nicer.

 

[zck2020]

Yeah, or you could just give automatic rings flame proporties. Then do what Draykon said by making the player who shoot the auto immune to their own autorings/flames.

I'll have to try that out, thanks.

No see, the flame is a missile and a flame "thing" at the same time. If not up close to a character that doesn't have a shield, they simply get burned. But if they do have a shield, then you have to get closer, as if the heat were to grow higher.

I did this in beta testing! I couldn't get it to work right, and it was just an auto ring that looked like flames. It was pretty cool, but not the effect I was looking for. What I tried to go for was the flame moving upward, like it would if you've seen a flame thrower on TV or something.

 

[zck2020]

Well...you could always jerry-rig it by giving auto-rings flames proporties an such, then you could replace all the auto-ring sprites woth flame sprites.

 

[light dasher]

But they're pointing up, i think it'd be a little better if it were on it's side, like a spray

 

[sonicfreak94]

Again, I am still currently working on it. I've been trying to get the spray effect, but so far nothing has worked out right. I'll figure it out though.
