Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
yes so you just add it to every lua in your side mod, not that difficult.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Here's some suggestions(pretty much all stolen from TimeSplitters, Red Faction, and Halo):
Rail Driver: a 1 shot kill sniper rifle that can shoot through walls. But has ammo capicty/reload time of a rocket launcher.
Mag-Charger: a lesser powered version of the above, except with larger clip, more ammo, faster reload. (possibly pistol ignoring collision gemotry?) you could make it stun veichles/droids on the basis that it's electromagnetic.
Needler: a gun that has a clip about the size of precision pistol, but can be shot single-shot or rapid fire by holding the trigger. The rounds are automaticly homing, and a few seconds after they hit, they explode. Each does very little damage, to balance it.
Injector: A gun that shoots tranqulizer darts, except the tranqulizer makees peoples screens blur/shake, and then possibly explode.
Time Disruption grenade: a grenade that, instead of doing damage, "slows time". not sure how this would be done, though.
randomness: a gun that instead of shooting out an ordinance, creates a flag that says "Bang". Priceless.

A cookie if you can guess which weapons are based off of which game.

3-Halo
4-Definetley not RF, and not Halo, but I can't remember this being in 'Splitters either... then again, it was a long time ago. I'm gonna guess original idea?
5-Ratchet and Clank: A Crcak in Time ^^ ...or 'Splitters
6-That would be incredible in Halo, too bad they never thought to include it

Needler: a gun that has a clip about the size of precision pistol, but can be shot single-shot or rapid fire by holding the trigger. The rounds are automaticly homing, and a few seconds after they hit, they explode. Each does very little damage, to balance it. -Perfectly possible and quite unconventional
Injector: A gun that shoots tranqulizer darts, except the tranqulizer makees peoples screens blur/shake, and then possibly explode.-Again perfectly possible and slightly unconventional
Time Disruption grenade: a grenade that, instead of doing damage, "slows time". not sure how this would be done, though. -Not possible, and I believe stated many times before
randomness: a gun that instead of shooting out an ordinance, creates a flag that says "Bang". Priceless.![]()
-I think that would be very effective in combat

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
You can model walls that have unti and vehicle collision but lack ordance collision. You can't make ordances themselves go through walls on their own.

The idea for #2 came from TimeSplitters 3, but Red Faction may have something like it.
