i just want create a railgun type weapon, cause gundam'beam weapon is that type, any good suggestion?

[key0p]

I guess some kind of projectile with no collisions that has fireweaponatself behaviour with a small dammage radius.

You should take a look at the Dragon Tank's Fire Wall ability first.

If I recall correctly, it doesnt do dammage from the projectile stream, dammage is only dealt from the vicinity of the flame projectiles impact point.

[homura]

question is: what kind of projectile shall i use? and how to can the beam trail(particle system)?

[key0p]

Well, I think the dragon tanks projectile wont collide with anything, so you could modify that to have a fireweaponatself behaviour

*starts to wonder if this is what CommieDog meant...*

[quicksilva1985]

how about a continuous tracer with invisible bullits ? would that work perhaps

Well heres what I came up with...

End

**********************************************************

Make sure you put em in the correct files
I set the KindOf to NO_COLLIDE but unlike the emp pulse etc. it still collides with objects, people, buildings etc.
I used the microwave beam laser to make an interesting raingun slug beam.
Anyway tweak away addon to and see what we can come up with

[key0p]

A railguns projectile shouldnt collide with people - if by collision you mean the projectile is being stopped.

A railgun needs to be able to shoot through many targets dammaging each one.

I've just been looking through the dragon tanks flame weapon projectile coding, now to make a weapon that travels through everything in its path and still deals damage will be pretty damn hard if not impossible to make.

Cool thing about it would be, place one good strategic shot across the map (map would have to be completely flat of course) and you could wipe the enemy out from your own base.
