Making a gun is like wtf?

[Kentrus]

ok so I started making this map right and I wanted to add my own items and I tried to make an gun but all I got was a cyclon shooting ambo..... so I wondered how to make like the item to shoot a dmging shoot or something like that I tried to make it do a stormbolt it was like w00t!
So help please!

 

[emilemil1]

is it a active or passive gun?

for passive u use phoenix fire and for active storm bolt should be fine if u have edited it properly

 

[Kentrus]

ok that helped really it did. but it still doesnt answer me on how to make it work?...
Can you send me a pic or video please of how to do it? I gone make the world best map =P

 

[Chao]

You didn't ask a question. You want the gun to damage.
What does that MEAN...

 

[Kentrus]

it means how to make it shoot and make damage when it hits...

 

[Grundy]

Does anyone understand what this guy is asking?

 

[Pharaoh_]

He means that the damage follows the projectile i guess. If so, check when damage is dealt and adjust the values of the projectile speed. Since, the damage is *almost* instant, adjust the value to more than 1150-1250 for sure. If you can't reach the gun shot with the projectile speed, you should instead make a custom unit with the model of the projectile, although i think the projectile is way faster than a custom unit ordered to move on the target; plus, since it is based on attack, it may cause lag. So, check when damage is dealt [maybe create a trigger that runs when "unit starts the effect of an ability" and a "unit takes damage". With a countdown timer that will be displayed on your screen, make it start when the first event is taking place and end when the second event is taking place. So, you will get the result of in how many sub-seconds the enemy unit takes damage. Count those secs and adjust the projectile speed (again test the map a lot of times) to see how further or how faster the projectile can travel within those seconds - between those two events].

Kentrus, you want a gun that can shoot and deal damage.

How do you want the gun to be used and how do you want do deal the damage?

For example, if you want to shoot out a projectile out in the air, base an ability of carrion swarm, change missile art and damage. Set the maximum damage to the damage (this so only one unit can receive damage).

If you want it to be a target unit damage then base the ability on let's say storm bolt. Set the duritation to 0.01. (This is the stun time, if it's 0 then it equals to permanent meaning you have a stun that never fades.)

Please explain better how you want to create this gun and how it's supposed to be used.

 

[Kentrus]

ok I got it working this is nice, BUT (omg) I now want it to add like a suit so when you click it it equips you with it and then you can use normal attack to shoot but it will drain.. mana or something so if any one got that then you might want to help me because I'm very good at... special things and I can do this special things for you, maby.

 

[Fluffball]

So you want each attack to be ranged, and drain mana? Immolation will help with the suit.

I don't really understand what you're saying, try to make yourself clearer and stop using 1337 talk.

 

[YourFace]

I think he wants something similar to the game Revenge of the Niggers,
which is quite fun actually, but anyway
how about making a skill based off of Shockwave, it'll shoot a projectile, and if they hit, then the unit will be damaged, and it also takes mana,
then change the hot key of attack to something else and make the hotkey for shockwave a

Well it may not be any think necessary but i have a ammunition system set up if you want to use it.

itd be nice if you can make a mini map with these conditions so i can dig through them, but i can take it as it is

Why is it that you post in this thread and not your own? you can just copy & paste the quote there.

 

[Kentrus]

Ok... I'm not really getting what you're saying... Could you maybe give me some low level tips on how to make the gun system?

 

[vypur85]

If this can be of any help... Just use it however you like...

 

[Kentrus]

this is all so hard... so I gone make one easy question then. I have tried a lot of things and I got to this I want a marin suit but that we can take later. first I want my marin to shoot something he does, but I want it to take away 1 mana each shoot or gold. and when you are empty of "ammo" you cant shoot more. if any one got that

 

[Kentrus]

I got it, any one played afterlife? how the bullets work in that one and that it's all items I want it to be something like that. and all those code things not really getting it

 

[Kentrus]

ok I saw some other topics about it and people says it's much easyer to make item count as how many shoots you got well if any one can help me with that so when you use the "attack" command you use 1 of the item stack and when it's 0 you cant attack.
