Experimental Dummy Vehicles




Release twelve: Bugfix

Image




Nailer turret bunker: Armed with at super heavy nailer cannon and fire hot metal spikes that crush weapons and limbs, stick to your victims and cause damage over time. Sprites and concept by LowestFormOfWit. You can only buy it in the build phase. Found under the "turrets" section.

Armored Car: Comes in a special drop crate found in the crafts menu. Fire the co-axial MG with the jump key. Spray concrete with the crouch key (thanks NEW Molemian).

Hover Tank: Press and hold the fire button to make the projectiles home in on the reticle. Adjust the engine output with jump and crouch key. If set to sentry mode the tank will drop to the ground when under AI control. Also comes in a special drop crate.

Gunship: Aim using mouse/analog stick/jump and crouch. Fire the grenade launcher with the X or Z key (customizable in EDV.rte/Gunship/Gunship.lua) or sharp aim button. Note that the AI can not use the grenade launcher.

Armed Dropship: The MGs are controlled by scripts and can not be fired by the player.

Missions: "Overrun" and "ArmorAssault".


Credits: mail2345 for the find attachment script. Darlos9D for the list of key numbers. DrLuke for inspiring the SAM sites. Metal Meltdown for play testing. Nailer turret concept and sprites by LowestFormOfWit. All the people who gave suggestions for improvements and reported bugs.

You should add kb versions of each vehicle.

Spriting is ok, Armored car is very fun to use. "RADKILLS FAR EVERYWAN!"

The Gunship use the controller's AnalogAim vector to calculate the aim angle. That is why you need a mouse or fancy gamepad. The other vehicles are not affected by this. You are right of course, but I figured it was unnecessary since it would be impossible to hit anything with the keyboard anyway.

This rocks, the only bugs I encountered are the gunship's lasers are able to fire even if the cannons were blown off. And the other thing is when the mission ends (by killing the brain), the Lua console is spammed with "End activity blah blah" or something like that. I think theres something wrong with it since it keeps looping the end activity part forever.

That self-destruct bridge made me : C when I drove the APC near it.
Pretty funny moment and well done. Using team work with the other vehicles is really fun. Like getting a DS pickup the APC to get it to the other side.


Also those SAM launchers are so effective that its just scary. No craft has gotten past it so far. It was pretty dramatic when I first started the mission and had a few dropships coming down to land when a few missiles instantly blew them up and I wasnt able to do anything about it.

I have to say that you have made some really funny vehicles to use. but as i am playing using keyboard i was a bit dissapointed over the APC..... I did some changes in the Lua for it so that it works perfectly even for keyboard..... in the script there are two functions that i replaced by two others with almost the same idea..... MOVE_UP changes to BODY_JUMP..... MOVE_DOWN changes to BODY_CROUCH and there you go..... works perfectly.....

Thank you all for the feedback. It is a bit embarrassing but the truth is I screwed up the keys because I did not know that the keyboard config has a separate jump and crouch key.
