The new Fireball Gun

by D Fasel · 01/12/2011 (11:28 pm) · 6 comments

Last day i made this new gun for Paradroid Game. The video shows a test with AI's and test with player.
The code is based from the rocked launcher. Hope you like the hot fire. This blog needs more words:) , But i don't have to say more.

This Gun fire hot balls, and the balls explode, and new balls coming out and bounce around. But i will make it the way, that the outcoming balls also does explode and make damage. This will need a bit more code.

here the video:



Hope you like it :)

Keep at it Daniel. Didn't you have a flame thrower in your game?

Yeah, looks fun. I think the fireballs (especially their trails) might look better if the particles were a bit more opaque. Just my 2 cents.

The gun is not finished yet. Need to make the outcoming balls like the initial explosion. But dont find out how to do at the moment.

I think the general effect of the fireball shooting and then exploding into little fire trails is cool. My only suggestion would be to change the particle itself, it's texture looks odd, reduce the firing muzzle effect, have a small trail behind the projectile, kinda like this flamethrower but with an explosion at the end:
