Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
I'd assume it'd be possible. Considering how you can make a weapon that spawns enemies, you should be able to make a mine that just spawns the enemies.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Order 66- Would be a buff with some lua work so that, when activated, all the units on that team will turn hostile to the hero unit, but I'm not sure if it would be possible..

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Possible, but the hero would have to be on an entirely seperate team from the other units and by team I mean lua teams like team 1 team 2 ATT and DEF and all that. If you use the default way of using a hero then it's not possible as far as I know.Super_Clone wrote:Order 66- Would be a buff with some lua work so that, when activated, all the units on that team will turn hostile to the hero unit, but I'm not sure if it would be possible..

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
So a wildly undulating laser that grabs the target and allows you to fling it around isn't unconventional?DarthRogueKnight wrote:Not unconventional.Darth_Squoobus wrote:I've got it! The proton pack from ghostbusters!

No; it's impossible. The only way to forcibly move another unit (aside from walking into them) is an explosive push (or pull). You can't grab units.

Force Possess: A power that, once inflicted on a victim, allows the user to control him/her (similar to the dispensable unit from Spira: Besaid). This will only be temporary, though. After a few seconds, it will stop.

Sounds... pointless, but an interesting idea.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
I don't think it would be useless, assuming that you don't die when the "possessed" unit does. But yes, not that I know much, but it doesn't seem that it would be easy, even if it is possible.

I don't mean to be a nit pick, but I think this topic has exhausted it's purpose.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
A missile that when it hits your ship Buzz Droids pop out and begin to slowely reduce the health of your ship for about a minute, just like in the movie! Ya I know thats pretty much impossible but its a fun thought.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Actually, that's not too bad. The buzz droids popping out I don't think can be done in any graphically appealing manner, but you could drain a vehicle's health via LUA (I think) upon being hit with the missile weapon. It'd be an... "Ion Drain Torpedo"?

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
You would need a God Modder to pull it of graphically.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
I'm thinking even a God Modder couldn't pull it off graphically; it's just not possible. Perhaps you could rig a custom effect with abuzz droid mesh, but it'd pop up, fade away, and that's all.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Ya, I think the closest anyone has gotten to "God Modding" is Maveritchell's Bakura: Rogue Assault (Rebel Ops Mission 03). Thats my opinion.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Deployable cp:
I think I just figured out a way to make the deployable cp! What you could do is make an auto turret with a slow rate of fire that uses a command post msh. Then make the auto turret weapon a unit spawner like the tactical droid uses in the dark space mod. The only problem is that reinforcements might not go down, but you could teleport units that have already spawned to the cp or something. The end result would be a deployable and destructible command post.
I also read somewhere that the dark space mod had a deployable cp, but I could not find it. Does anybody know which unit has it if any?
Plague:
I thought of a new way to do the plague weapon. Could you make a auto turret that sticks to enemies? You could give the auto turret a neuro poison buff or gas grenades with no kick power.
Makes since to me, but I am not very experienced in modding.

Plague, would be easier if the autoturret shot darts that stuck to the char and poisoned them.
