*whining noise* BOOM!

Nice!

Beacon only calls in one shell?

That's very unusual.

You can speak ur opinion by pm'ing Jetz.

Personally, i would like the shell to be one powerful shell, versus 5 semi powerful shells.

I prefer multiple shells just because it hits a widespread area. No one is going to be stupid enough to walk on the smoke.

True

Smoke should be pinker, not a deep red, more fluorescent.

Or green.... Or yellow... :V

Usually artillery batteries consist of around eight units don't they, and the shells are widespread due to the different effects of wind and drag, so yeah...

It should be around 8 Shells over a widespread area :V, nice idea though, Trench TDM's will be much less difficult to come across :D

i love it and i would prefere it to have a spread of shells 



when will this come out or is this a never realease addon just for your sever

It was originally intended for brick destruction, also being capable of handling those dumb enough to stand next to it...

But by popular demand, I'm gonna go hire more magic flying artillery cannon operators.

I think it should do a carpet bomb style thing, as if a plane were flying overhead  dropping bombs at intervals - as opposed to a random scattering of bombs.

That sounds real awesome.

Fun facts:
The artillery shell will be spawnable as a projectile fired from a brick.
The smoke beacon will not.
This will work in the Bedroom, just not on or under the dresser shelf, or bed.
The same concept applies to the kitchen, and any interior wwhere you have 90 world units of distance between the beacon and the interior wall above it.
The beacon can now launch up to 16 shells in the area around it.
The shell sound effect loops, though it doesn't sound all that realistic or great.

That'd be awesome.
