I think it should be a vehicle, then it can be affected by physics and picked up/pushed around by guns and tools.

Have the laser on the front be part of the model, hidden when firing, and then make it put a red 'dot' on a wall a distance in front of it. (Using a raycast that spawns light-emitting/non-damaging explosions)

I think some guy made a private mod that was usable as a wand, and when you hit a brick, it was set as a "turret". I heard some other guy talking about it on a server (Rky's).

Yea NiXiLL used anybody's tower bricks for a Tower Defense game.

Space Guy has a good idea. Adding this to a Portal-style vehicle that can automatically shoot at people, be damaged and moved, and have an actual laser sight would be great. It could fire automatically when it tips over, or just fully shut down until "righted".

Any news about the progress?
Looks nice by the way.

Major Bump ^

can space guy realse this since this is bumped if he still has it we have portal guns and companion cubes why not this?

Space Guy · July 18, 2009, 04:23:06 PM

I do not have the models for this. This is Altair's mod, I simply gave him some of the sounds from the game.

Linkuto2121 · July 18, 2009, 06:52:00 PM

awww thats sad maybe he can post he still has it thanks space.

At this point, I'm thinking one or more of these things has happened/is happening.

The mod has been scrapped.
The mod is still in progress, but is either incredibly hard to code or Altair's taking his time.
The mod is finished, but unreleased/forgotten.
The mod is being kept private, and Altair doesn't want to release it.
The mod is still being beta-tested.

Or, maybe I'm just speculating. :/
