Sentry and Sapper: 11/6/10

[Bauklotz]

I have integrated this nicely into Gamemode_BlockBastion. The "Building PDA" can now be used to plant these, and upgrading uses a Wrench that requires metal, instead of a Welder.

Was there such a gamemode?

Also, my wrangler is almost finished, i am thinking about not giving it any new emitters.
Lasers don't look well, when i would constantly fire a projectile with a laser-y emitter, the laser would not look like a laser.
Just an emitter doesn't work so good either as emitters go through everything. :C
For more information, please visit my topic in the add-ons section.
No discussion of my mod here anymore.

P.S. Bushido, you might want to remove the testcommand that spawns a sentry at your position. :P

the one that only works for admins?

Yeah, i just noticed it's for admins only, but still. :P

o_O Whenever someone destroys my sentry while I am controlling it, my screen glitches up and I have to reconnect to the server D:

or you could just Self Delete.
and if you are admin press F7

I had that too earlier, but now i don't.
Try aiming at the base and try later.
Perhaps it was a temporarily bug.

I would love to see some zombie support.
It shouldn't be that hard.

I just use the controler for that, I made an ACM city zombie apocolypse and used a hiding place to control the sentry and kill random zombies, it is fun but I too would like to have zombie support on the sentries.

Use the controller item. It sets your control to the sentry so you can manually control the sentry instead of having an AI sentry that shoots stuff you don't want it to.

Did you get the idea for the sentry gun from this?:

No you idiot, it's calleda Gatling gun, and the design's been around since the 1800s.
also sapper racing

WHAT IS THIS

[Conan]

also sapper racing

New idea formed.

Sappers are perfect for racing cause they drift, but if you're careful you still can do sharp turns.



And Bushido, I tested out the sentries and I have a few suggestions to make.

Could you do a height limit to how high the sentry can shoot? Like make it so its unable to shoot directly up or near directly up.

And change the range for each type of sentry, I don't like the fact that the MG has the same range as the rifle, which should (IMO) have a farther range of "activation





EDIT: Another question: Is invisibility supported? as in do the sentries still shoot at invisible people?
