Re: some modding ideas
I can show you how to do this in 227. It's possible to tie the laser to a bone point on the model and it will orient/rotate/etc along with it. Watch my dragon videos closely and you can see that the fire breath emits right from the mouth even when the head is sawing back and forth or up and down. I attached the spawnpoint to it's jaw. This little addition is HUGE since you can tie anything to a model: hats, glowing eyes, a utility belt with live presentation of alternate weapons picked up as you grab them into inventory.
So long, and thanks for all the fish

Re: some modding ideas
Let us port UT to Unreal and make the collected weapons appear on the body of the player

Re: some modding ideas
Seem to have wandered a smidge off the original topic, or original sword mentioned at the start of this thread... but a final bit on this one:
In a brief stretch when I was doing LAN at home, I did a few duels where players could use a lightsaber or a chainsaw or a chaosUT sword. Other than the Force push making things decidedly unfair (knocked all other players halfway across most maps in low grav) the lightsaber didn't damage the other weapons.
Understandable as it's a lightsaber. We've all seen the movies, the thing cuts through anything and melts walls... through regrettably it doesn't melt through other people's swords if they're not using a lightsaber.JackGriffin wrote:It's way overpowered though, pretty much a single hit weapon if you are not similarly armed.

Re: some modding ideas
If you had played it with the Chaos mod you would all have the Kick ability, which works the same as a force-push.
With the Chaos sword you can attack or defend while kicking.
The kick is my favourite way to humiliate a camper.
Creep quietly behind them and 1 swift kick up the arse to send them falling to their doom
I am not sure how the Chaos kick is done. It may be just using weapon knockback with no damage

I don't know, but does that count as a frag? I usually add that Don't Push Me mutator just to make sure pushing people to their deaths adds to my score.

Re: some modding ideas
I believe you get a kill, though I will have to check.
Yup, the kick is very handy when surrounded by the hoard zombies.
You can also use it to boost team mates up or over something.
There is also a Kamikaze move available if you have enough rockets, though obviously kills you unless you have the relic of redemption.
