Author Topic: New Weapon: Boomerang  (Read 991 times)

You throw it. It comes back to you. It's that simple.

Here is a new weapon idea, a boomerang. It takes away a small amount of damage when hit, but when you throw it, it spins around and comes back to you. Maybe it could bring back items to you. So, is it a good idea? Vote in the poll.

I got this feeling if I didn't post some one would say Zelda invented the boomerang... Arses would of been shot, then shot again. If some one was willing to actually script this I would make a model.

No its not that simple.

It's a bit hard to make a projectile change direction while it's moving. The only method I can think of doing this would be to have the weapon randomly disappear a second after being used, 'jerk' and reappear coming back towards you at the same speed.

Perhaps if you throw it, you 'lose' the item, then when you are hit by one you own you pick it up again if you have free room?

Yeah, that's a good idea.  It goes out of your inventory when you throw it, if you catch it then it goes back. And thanks Packer, hopefully I'll find a scripter.

Very clever.

*Aims for a TF2 Minigun in BL, throws it, picks it up, and shoots blockoman

It would be hard to do

Baddy, name change please?


You should be able to catch if you L-click before someone elses 'rang hits you. I know, it would be harder to hit someone in a 1 ON 1 battle, but it would worked if you mobbed them with boomerang throwing peeps...
