LukeRM's Projectiles (lol crappy right now, but just read)

[Arcalane]

This is awful and you should be ashamed of yourself for doing something so lame.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Not really. Take your favorite pic, set it as the bullet sprite, and you're done.

But proving you did it will be a trick.

Proving it is easy, take a screenshot and post it. Getting it past the mods, now THAT is the hard part.

What did you think I was talking about?

[Venator]

I hate you all.

[LukeRM]

This is awful and you should be ashamed of yourself for doing something so lame.

I'm still working on proper stuff. Maybe I'll finish by tommorow.

@Venator- LOLOL

[Skrim]

This is awful and you should be ashamed of yourself for doing something so lame.

Seconded.

If someone wanted to make a missile from ship sections, they'd use Ship Deployer modules, spawning Kamikaze AI kinetic-kill missiles(or mines, or drones, or whatever thy want).

[Aaganrmu]

Except that those would home in, something bullets typically don't. And the shipdeployer can't be used to drive sections. And can't have bursts. And acceleration like the HV missile. And shipdeployer bullets will fly backwards. And they can't have splash damage.

So, in short, there's a myriad of reasons to use an image of a (set of) section(s) as a bullet sprite.

And lol @ Venator Now I'd like to see what submunitions fly out.

[maarten]

I hate you all.

And we love you.

[whiny]M-M-MODERATOR! [/whiny]

[Squishy]

Well done, Venator.

We are pleased and expect more from you in the future.

[Slayer0019]

Thought: Changing particle guns' bullet sprites to phalluses will give new meaning to the phrase "cock block".

[blackrider123]

I hate you all.

And we love you.

what about firing bunnies then?

[Anna]

Except that those would home in, something bullets typically don't.

Except these all look like missiles. Which typically are guided weapons. Dumbass. And using sections as bullet sprites instead of actually MAKING UNIQUE BULLET SPRITES is goddamn retarded.

And the shipdeployer can't be used to drive sections.

But they can be put on a section that is driven by a non-firing weapon. Retard.

And can't have bursts.

You can simulate bursts by having say, energy 800 and energy usage of 100. Retard.

And acceleration like the HV missile.

Now you're not even trying. They WOULD have acceleration! THE ACCELERATION OF THE FUCKING SHIP THEY SPAWN YOU GODDAMN RETARD.

And shipdeployer bullets will fly backwards.

This doesn't even make sense. Why will "shipdeployer bullets" fly backwards?

And they can't have splash damage.

Sure they can. Submunitions. Lots of small sections that tear through a ship. Far more effective form of splash damage.

So, in short, there's a myriad of reasons to use an image of a (set of) section(s) as a bullet sprite.

No, there aren't. Because if it's not going to be a kinetic missile or something fired from a goddamn ship deployer, then you can just make CUSTOM BULLET SPRITES WHICH DON'T LOOK LIKE ASS.

Why would you even want to have bullets that are made out of sections. It makes no goddamn rational sense.

Oh, did I mention that you're a retard?

[Aaganrmu]

Except these all look like missiles. Which typically are guided weapons. Dumbass. And using sections as bullet sprites instead of actually MAKING UNIQUE BULLET SPRITES is goddamn retarded.

Yes, missiles are typically guided. But this may come as a shock to you: there ARE unguided missiles. And that's just limiting ourselves to missiles. Although these two sprites look like missiles, this doesn't mean it's impossible to build shells/drones/explosive devices.

But they can be put on a section that is driven by a non-firing weapon. Retard

That's something I hadn't thought of. But they still can't trigger/be triggered, so my point still stands.

You can simulate bursts by having say, energy 800 and energy usage of 100. Retard.

That's not quite the same. After the first salvo, subsequent shots will slowly trickle out instead of firing of in bursts. If I control a ship, I can restrict myself to fire in bursts (which is stupid), but the AI won't do that for me.

Now you're not even trying. They WOULD have acceleration! THE ACCELERATION OF THE FUCKING SHIP THEY SPAWN YOU GODDAMN RETARD.

Yes, but that's completely different from the way HVRockets work. They are fired, and don't accelerate at once. It takes some time.

This doesn't even make sense. Why will "shipdeployer bullets" fly backwards?

Because all ships do. When I order a ship to fly to a position behind it, it'll start accelerating backwards, and then turn. It doesn't do a turn like, for example, a real-life missile. So unless I set the rotation speed really high, this will occur everytime the shipdeployer spawns a missile, and it targets something not straight ahead of it.

Sure they can. Submunitions. Lots of small sections that tear through a ship. Far more effective form of splash damage.

Yes, far more effective. But effectiveness isn't something that's always needed. Maybe I'll think up some weapon that emits gravity waves or whatever techtalk I desire, and does light damage over a light area. For example 1 damage to every section of a ship. It's not possible to do so with subminutions.

Why would you even want to have bullets that are made out of sections. It makes no goddamn rational sense.

It makes absolute sense. Why would I want bullets that glow in a bright colour, and don't look like they're made from the same materials the ship is?

Oh, did I mention that you're a retard?

Yes, you did, while throwing an awful tantrum over two sprites and what I had to say about them.

[Perturabo]

I have to agree with Anna on this. The idea is just pointless and poorly executed.

[Verminator]

Rage aside, Seraph is right here, really. You're better off just drawing the bullets. It'll probably look less like crap.

Also, lol at Venator's Weapon of Mass Distraction. I can picture the battle now. The enemy captain is giving orders, but all of a sudden, ten naked pictures of Carmen Electra whizz past the window, and he's so destracted he can't see the torpedoes about to smack into his engines.
