uhm... what are you finding difficult?

idk... if i had to make a magnet gun... uhh... do you mean something that pulls things towards you?

well, if it have to pull... we could reverse pushing! since projectiles and explosions can push things we can set negative values to them!


so... what could we do? we know that the pushing force is named "Force" in the jpt! tag. but setting a negative value to it won't work. :-\ the game does not recognize the negative number i suppose... bah

hmmm... well, we can... uhhh... invert the damage multiplier of the pulling jpt! try experimenting around... ¬_¬

There was a topic about a magnet gun like a month ago or so, just search it.

Twas mine.
you need to make the PROJ the plasma pistol charged bolt and make it have negative force.
Or you could rip mine and give me credit?

Fail method, that only works for graving weapons.

Damage at .01
Fire rate at 100
Initial speed at 100
Final speed at 5400
Fire rate at 100
Force at .3
Tweak effect tags to your liking

If you know what to do with that info, I find you worthy of using it in your mod.

Damage fixes it so it doesn't kill people.
Fire rate makes it affect vehicles
Initial and final speed make it start slow but come faster at you.
You said 100 fire rate twice. ¬_¬
Force is something I haven't screwed with enough to figure out. So yea. Tell meh how the force does that. <_<

It will work on pulling weapons and equipment (grenades require an explosion) however if you set it too low (negatives are to the left of the number line therefore the lower the higher the absolute value of the negative,) it will come at you with high speed.

It won't work on bipeds, weapons, scenery, teleporters, the map itself, 420, machines, and other objects so I can't really help you with that.

Have you even tried it? because it works on vehicles, bipeds and weapons.

That's quite interesting, seeing as I'm allowed into every board except Saber-Cow.

Modzy, can you even see Team Wraith? The forum used to be set to invisible. And there are few left roaming here that can get on. Me, Taxi, Moxus and Shadow (do those two even post anymore?) are the only ones I know left that have access. Which is why I posted it for Taxi. :P
