If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

I would add a part where the TCTF attack The syndicates fortress and you have to battle both sides. A weapon would be a Lightsaber or a sword

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

Lightsabers\swords aren't quite possible because of the lack of Particle\Particle collision.

Geometry level is not possible yet. Possible weapons I recommend to make is guns with projectiles.

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

I wish someone would add a gun that shoots bees.  No, really.

Just get a model of a bee and turn it to a projectile. Then use a pistol or something and when you shoot bees it will stink the engineers since they don't have armor. smile

Just get a sprite of a bee, and replace the bullet texture.

yeah, most of the members here use the PC(mac) verson, and enough progress in moding the game has been made that you could do something like that.
you could use the screamer as the movement if you spead it up, and then changed the bullet to look like a swarm of bees. but then it would just be an overpowered screamer.
but what i think of is shooting a ball of bullets (bees) that swarm and seperate each bullet (bee) chasign after various people in a certain range. but i think thats a bit much.

anyway.
i think it would awesome to have a gun like a sniper rifle, that when you do secondary fire launches a mirror plate (or something similar) that you can then aim at and bounce a lazer off of it. er the gun would shoot a lazer beam. but so you could like, shoot around corners. or if you could put more then one, you couldmake it bounce down a hallway hitting anyone running through.
eh. it seemed cooler when i first thought of it...

Impossible. Lasers are hard enough to make as it is. (I have a half complete one somewhere...). As there is not PAR3=>PAR3 collision, what you described is impossible. However, bouncing off walls is slightly less impossible.

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

You mean you want the bees to act like... a needler gun from halo? That would be pretty awesome. Yet it would seem mildly primitive (Apocalyptico?).

I would want to add a zipcord gun where when you shoot it, a cord shoots out grabs the person and reels them in while shocking them (LoZ:TP clawshot with extreme upgrade).

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

Your bee gun is possible by adding an attractor to the bullet particle. Zipcord gun would be harder. We already have Muro's lightning gun, anyways tongue.

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

Of course, I'm just fantasizing here, I wouldn't want to actually alter Oni, because the best thing about Oni is its originality.

Just to set one thing straight, the bee gun was my idea ;p  I can't have others being given credit for my awesome ideas smile

The bee gun should be that gun that shoots missiles and target people, but the're bees instead.

I actually picture smaller projectiles, and more of them, than the Scram Cannon shoots.

Yea... mabye a scram cannon with the vdg pistol combined! Except, the projectiles aren't retardedly missing their target/s!

Edit:
Wait... whats the gun called? That shoots like a little machine gun in a pistol? Yea that... I'm a little rusty on my Oni weaponry smile

I would picture more like curving bullets. (Modification of Black Adder?)

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

That's also an interesting idea, Gumby.  @ Barneyhater: VDG is the Van Der Graaf pistol, the stun weapon.  You don't mean the Black Adder SMG, do you?

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

It sounds like what you are all suggesting is a hand held version of a MIRV launcher...

The MIRV (Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle) is currently employed in weapons systems like that of the American "Peacekeeper" missile... It starts out as a single missile and when reaching a certain altitude and angle of trajectory, the warhead splits off into 7 or so smaller warheads.

A hand held/portable version of MIRV technology would be interesting to say the least... Perhaps if crossed with the Scram Cannon; each missile launched from it separating into even smaller sub-munitions and perhaps an added feature could be "mission specific" ammunition... Armour piercing, high explosive, anti personnel or even a type of sub-munition that would spread miniature mines or caltrops.

There are really a number of ways this could be employed in the field. wink

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

I was actually imagining each bee being shot as an individual bullet that arced towards the enemy, or maybe even swarmed around him if we gave them a good turning radius :-)

But I like your idea too, that would make for a good weapon in Oni.

It reminds me more of that gun from the 5th element.

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

Yea I meant the Black Adder gun smile . So a faster shooting scram cannon that shoots bees. And hey, why don't we add a secondary firing shot that "attracts bees" to the bullet/dart's/random projectile's location? (like from that youtube video)

Re: If you could add a level or weapon what would it be?

Maybe it could look like this...

Fire 1 - singel power shot (an invisible impact particle is attracted - by character which was hit - in a  very small radius and follows (chases) the character to everywhere almost instantly (for ca. 7 seconds)
Fire 2 - "Zorg's replay mode" after single shot: more bullets hit same target (particle has "parent's attractor")
the secondary fire should has a limitaion like a big cooling rate (like 3 sec)

The second particle is probably released at parent's location, that looks like a problem... Maybe "lock position to link" can help here to attract a weapon light particle at first, it parks there for a few frames, "update event" 'unlock' it (attracting the parent particle) and becomes visible. Then on it's way - it is hitting the hostile character.

But that are just wild thoughts after reading OG's particle page, I'm not sure at all whether it actually works.
