So its a machine gun that locks on. When locked on to a target the machine gun would automatically always be pointing at it regardless of where the cursor was (as long as the target is still on the screen?) Like smartlocks in Dystopia. Why? Because cannons require leading the target while MG's require pointing right at it. With this little mg you lead your Cannon or Missile shots with the cursor while still hitting the target with the gun.
I support this. I'd also like the gun to automatically shoot though, pressing the fire button is too difficult.
make it arc its hitscan bullets as well, so it can be used to shoot around corners and maybe like if the target is killed the remaining in air bullets automatically find a new target and home in lolololololo
I want a weapon that works like sm_cexec. You can put commands into the enemy's console. For example, I point at the enemy and click fire. At which point, it promptly types either "unbind_all" or "quit" into his console.
Or better, an ent_fire gun. For example it can be configured to ent_fire !picker kill enemies, which does not do what you might expect.
Throwing knives!! Oh sorry, I thought we were going for "list of things never to be implemented in empires". I kinda know what you're getting at, but you're better off asking for the passenger to be able to control your MG.
I dusted off code written by Krenzo that made vehicles predicted (drive with no latency at all). If you combine that with predicted vehicle weapons (cannons and missiles) we can finally have stable cannon tank to tank combat.
I honestly wonder how much stuff has been coded but never implemented. Wages was one. Then there's vehicle carcass recycling.
hell, i dont think we should use effort to fire our weapons. i think our weapons should auto fire when theres an enemy on screen and the bullets or shell will be homing =P
Wy dont we just have a slay mg? the mg locks on to target and when u fire it uses mani admin's slay powers. for an instance i lock on to M00tant and then i click fire it will execute following orders /slay MOOtant . genius
