That picture is fookin epic. I have to give you rep for posting it, and definitely have to give Dusty rep for making it.

Is it because it's not the same as the original?

It may not be up to a developers tastes where ofcourse things can be bettered but nevertheless it's something players have been impressed with and haven't critiqued.

It is essentially a projectile super bomb. I'd say go with the super bomb(red) and just ignore the nuke shot all together, if there were a projectile version of all the bomb npcws then the bombs are useless.

Or make it something that isn't an npcw-- like a super weapon only useable during server-wide events or a quest.

Should make nukeshot arc instead and then do the old super explosion

I agree with this.
Maybe make the Nukeshot similar to the TNT from the quest in Christian's shop where you had to place the TNT and detonator then connect them but with this you need to pick up then place the launcher, then pick up the ammo and load it into the launcher, and last fire it into a large amount of baddies, a boss, or destroy something at a distance.

Another idea is to just make nukeshot ammo scarce so that it is a waste to use it when you can just use a superbomb.

Another preview, this is demonstrating the combination of previously made falling, the new fully custom projectile system and a different wall checking option. The significance of this for the most part is that certain blocking tiles can easily be made to be ignored by players, baddies, projectiles or anything that moves.



It should be noted that while this level will be used as part of a quest this video is just for display, this level is subject to change.

Thats pretty neat, nice job!

It's cool, perhaps you could add baddies and players falling if they get hit and are knocked back to the edge as well.

Players already are falling like this if you mean through recoil movement, baddies had crossed my mind mainly with this being the case in LTTPm though a worry is keeping script time down as their movement is already quite complex.

[Kamaeru]

Very awesome.

I do think that baddies really ought to be able to fall, though.

Even if it's the most difficult script you've ever produced.

If you have an organized system of keys that unlock doors in respective dungeons, AND baddies that fall into holes, then we're seriously in business.

Also, I think we had something like this working before: a method to where each different place you could fall sends you to a separate and planned-out location in a level below.

It's not so much a matter of difficulty, the detection of fall tiles is very simple, as is making their recoil go through them, the worry really is that fully precise blocking detection with the high range of angles that can occur with recoil can be a lot more expensive in terms of script time than straight forward or diagonal checks. Admittedly they're quite consuming as it is, they're using the same movement process as players with such things as sliding against diagonal cliff tiles enabled, it's something I'll want to optimise before adding more.

This is very simple to do should we want to, though there won't be any fall level for this specifically.

[Kamaeru]

It's funny, when I'm playing ALttP I get the feeling that nintendo found a way to get around that method as a whole, because their script for doing it seems to be really simple and logical. But, alas, they weren't using Gscript.

I was hoping it would be as easy as this:

1. enemy moves onto specific x/y location

2. enemy plays an animation

3. script nullifies enemy amidst this

lol

I'm pretty sure I've seen it, on the way to the mountains... 'cept much easier to fall on Atlantis...

But good work, Thor!
