tZork's turrets

I think you mix together the words 'turrets' and 'torrents'

Edited my post. What a useless post, shame on you.

That's what I'm here for.

Why must the turrets be weak? I was thinking about having a game mainly based around them. If they fired in a really cool way, it would be okay for 1 on 1 games. There could be something like each player's health is decreasing continuously, so you have to move around the map. The objective of putting more and more turrets down is to stop the other player moving around, box them in, so that eventually, they run out of health and blow up!

so, what happend to those turrets?

[tZork]

Lack of time, but im still working on it.

[Asraniel]

cool
I hope there will be a game mode that is like:

all the players vs many turrets on a long way.

Because, i played nexuiz with friends on a lan , and deathmatch was fun. But cooperative playing is what makes lans even funnier. And with turrets this could be done easely.

Heres where its at now.



Energy based turrets


Plasma & Doubbe Plasma Cannon (doubble fire rate): Medium speed splashy damage. Basic allarounder turret.


Gauss Cannon: Slow tuning high damage long refire sniper turret.


Tesla coil: Hits anything hostile within rage each 'shot' (including missiles) Deals mroe damage the closer you are.


Fusion Reactor: Place close to ebergy based turrets to help them recharge faster (=shoot more).

Rockets

MLRS: Basic multibay rocketlauncher.
Hellion: Same as MLRS + guided rockets.


Hunter-Killer: Fiers a single powerfull rocet that will chase its target and avoid hitting obstacles.


Point-Defense: Shoots down hostile missiles.

Other

Minigun: Double minigun, slow turning but dealy mid to close range turret.

------------------------------------

All turrets can be put into a player team (for ctf and sutch).
Turrets can die. They respawn after some time.
Each turret has a separate .cfg file for easy tweaking.

I think it would be really cool if these were what other games called 'deployables'. I don't know how much engine hacking that would require though...

I'm going to have so much fun mapping with these.
