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.

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?

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.

It did, it got removed because it was pretty cheap and the stupid AI wouldn't use it. "Swarm Squad" is the replacement.Jodandotson wrote: 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?

Hmm. Is it possible to have this combo, where after a series of buttons is pushed on a melee weapon, it fires a ranged weapon?

No. You can have explosions, and that's it.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Aw.
Hmm, has anyone thought up this? K, you got this mine, and immediately upon stepping on it, one large, single, powerful, Orbital Strike bolt hurls down and kills you.
It's actually pretty funny, if you think about it...

Ooh, how about a variation where it's an Ion Cannon mine? Is there a way to get mines to only target vehicles, like the way, say poison only targets infantry? Cause then you could do the same thing except make it only triggered by vehicles and on hitting it it damages/disables it. By extension you could do it in space (remember Mav's space mine on Abraxas?) and (if possible, and I don't know if it is) make a turret from a ship home in on and open fire when the fighter runs into the mine... By now I'm reaching a point where I don't think it's possible, and I have no knowledge of whether it is or not, but maybe one of our modders could tell me if it is or not.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Something I thought of is an "Exosuit Dispenser." Basically, it would be an enterable vehicle that would work like a unit (Walking, running, if possible jumping and jetpack-capable) that would have massive health and powerful weapons, but it would run out of power eventually. Is it possible to make a vehicle behave like a unit, but be enter-able?

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
I had a similar idea, but I was under the impression that vehicles couldn't do that...like have the playable characters the size of ewoks or jawas, then the enterable vehicles wookie-sized, so its like a powersuit/mech fight.Tygr wrote:Something I thought of is an "Exosuit Dispenser."

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
It would probably be very hard, but I don't see why you couldn't have that. In a way, stuff like the chicken walker and the AT-ST are like that. It would just take some modeling. I am not sure if you can make it fly or much less jump though. Speeders jump though don't they?

Well, you CAN make speeders jump...so I guess the same can go for walkers.

Re: Unconventional Weapon Ideas
Couldn't you just make it a spawned controllable (I'm not sure that that's the right name, but it gets the job done) like the recon droid. I know Mav used a regular unit in his Spira map, and you could make it as powerful/slow as you want without it being a vehicle.

That would work beautifully, if there as some way to protect the player while doing that (Hide him, shield him, etc.) to maintain the illusion that he's inside the suit.Blade wrote:Couldn't you just make it a spawned controllable (I'm not sure that that's the right name, but it gets the job done) like the recon droid.
