You can check out the Homerun Bat for an example.

function HomerunBatSuperProjectile::Damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
   %damageType = $DamageType::Direct;
   if(%this.DirectDamageType)
      %damageType = %this.DirectDamageType;

   %scale = getWord(%obj.getScale(), 2);
   %directDamage = %this.directDamage * %scale;
   %col.damage(%obj, %pos, %directDamage, %damageType);
   serverPlay3d(HomerunBatSuperHitSound, %pos);
   if(%col.isDisabled())
   {
      %velocity = vectorScale(%obj.client.player.getEyeVector(), 35);
      %velocity = VectorAdd(%velocity, "0 0 45");
      %col.setVelocity(%velocity);
      %col.mountImage(HomerunnedImage, 0);
      if(getRandom(1, 50) == 37)
         serverPlay3d(HomerunBatHomerunSound, %pos);
   }
}

The bolded part is the bit relevant to you.

Kinda disappointed he never finished the last two campaign missions. I suspect there would actually be more since we leave off just as our home base gets wrecked. Also, I always thought that deflector formation in that last level was badass.

They were originally named after the TF2 classes and are obviously influenced by them.
In addition, saying GG2 is "completely unrelated to TF2" is completely false:

Changing the classnames from TF2's to GG2's doesn't suddenly make it not related to TF2 at all.  I understand that you've tweaked things (some forced, some intentional), but that doesn't change the fact that the server is basically Blockland's equivalent of the VS Saxton Hale Mode in TF2.  Just because you're trying to stray away from TF2 and avoid the "LOL TF2" to-do list doesn't mean you shouldn't implement some of the great gameplay features it has.

To go back to my original point, yes, I'm suggesting that the medic should be a little faster and heal in small amounts over time (he is a medic, after all).

Alright I never actually played GG2. However, using those class names usually keeps people from bugging me about the classes not being exactly like their TF2 counterparts, an attribute I have never cared about.

Slight speed boost is possible. Not sure how the healing over time would be indicated to the player. Some people have a health bar add-on but I sure-as-hell don't.

TF2.  You know, the game where you got your classes from.  I think I remember Bushido asking this earlier, too.

All of our classes were clearly inspired by Gang Garrison, which is a totally different game completely unrelated to TF2.

In all seriousness, the to-do list doesn't solely have "LOL TF2" written on it in large print. Thus, pyros can fly, no melee weapons, ubers make people big, ect.

Shouldn't the medic be a little faster and heal over time?  Is that going to eventually be added or is it intentional?

Where did you get that idea from? Are you suggesting it?

Nope.
Actually, it's a melee weapon.

Now that I think about it, that voice clip would be about thirty times funnier if used for a chainsaw. Not sure how the Nigel Thornberry Experience would work as a chainsaw, though.

You guys might get a new smashing weapon soon.

You are clearly referring to "The Nigel Thornberry Experience," the ray gun that turns people into said person and makes this sound when fired - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Qp283GaiQ&t=11s.

Hand Jetz, Pecon, or me the code.

It was just spamming the messagesent command dozens of times a second with no message. It shows up blatantly in the chat logs so there's no way to hide it - one second of console tracing can also track it down. If it happens again I'll just rig up an autobanner.

Well you caught me. It wasn't me that much, mostly USAirforce. He's my one of my best friends in real life and he payed me $5 for a line of code to lag the server because he hates Pecon for some reason. I am truly sorry for this and that was the last time I give my one of my idiot friends code. I know I won't be unbanned for telling you this, I just thought you might want to know.

Why did you do it too, though? I checked the logs and you were part of it too. Also, we might unban you if you go over to his house and punch him.

Yes. Good reason to hunt them.

So which future kid is the Batterwitch gonna catch a ride with? I suspect Roxy.

Eh, I'm not liking many of the songs on this new album. The new Anbroids is pretty good, though I'd like an extension of the original too. Also, I had higher expectations for "A taste For adventure." I mean, It's not bad or anything, but it completely changes focus after the kickass part used in the flash. Skaianet is kinda catchy, as is Another Jungle.

Also, in extension to coffee being people, I suspect, due to this:

uu: HER PuTRID HARLEQuIN SLIME WILL LEAK FROM HER WOuNDS AND SOAK HER uGLY YELLOW ROBE.

Gamzee's slime pies were people. Specifically green-blooded people.

Alrighty. Just making sure you knew about this.

At least now we know it was malice rather than incompetence. He didn't actually crash it even. We restarted, he came back, I found out it was him, then he got scared and ran away. Never saw Jasa, though. Oh well. Thanks, USAirforce, for ratting out your accomplice.
