Oh I'm always modding.
Just, rarely releasing stuff, since most of it ends up lumped with Shadow Echelon, which never ends up fully polished and ready for release by my standards. You can see a bunch of that stuff in the epic moments thread.


I was just playing experimenting with fire, and thickened gasoline, and the idea hit me... Actually, it stuck to me. A bit got on my thumb, and as I scrambled to put it out, I realized that the cauterizer needs to have sticky napalm fuel. Whooshing through people won't do, it needs to set them ablaze!

I was just playing experimenting with fire, and thickened gasoline, [sticky, semblance to napalm] to learn a little from experience. I got a bit too much experience there. A bit got on my thumb, and that got me the idea I was looking for.
Flamethrowers shouldn't just whoosh into people! That's incredibly lame! They need to light them on fire!

I also learned that fire axes coated with napalm[ish stuff] are pretty cool, so maybe I'll make one of those for a cauterizer operator to use as secondary weapon, after I get the cauterizer lighting people on fire.

Then use a distance trigger to make the fire particles to fwoosh, making it look like the thing is on fire, and that some of the fire missed.

No, I meant lasting burning on targets.
I think what I'll do is, instead of having the green cross heal, it makes an emitter be spawned at the target's position, and move to its position every frame. Then that emitter has Lua to heal the actor at a rate [or maybe for a period of time?] determined similarly to how the simple healing does right now.

In effect, you ignite him, and he can run off, still burning, and still gaining health. But he would be gaining more if you burned him more, globbing more napalm on him.

Hmm, you may need to spawn a MosParticle with an attached emitter, and then have it attach to the actor...

So how consistent is this gun? If it works 100% of the time, I <3.

Just spray at the target, for the best results, apply to the core of the unit.
If you are skilled enough, you can actually heal a follow/enemy from zero health to one hundred health, but due to shock, they'll soon die anyways.

To apply to yourself, aim at the floor.

So it's not glitchy like the patchless medic bots?

No glitches, the only string is that there is an accuracy bonus, so aim to heal faster.

After testing and using, I find this mod to be very professional, both in function and looks.

A+

For better accuacy bonus, check if the parent actor is in the sharp aim controller mode.

Well, the script is based off of the TLB's medic drone fix.
And it's applied to each particle.

As you can see in the .gif, there is some inconsistency, [like how it stopped at 45 hp for a bit] but one magazine just about always will heal the target back to 100%. Any extra left for healing another or yourself can just be seen as a bonus.

Thank you.

Ehh, heal guns aren't just a tf2 thing, and this one doesn't have a particular semblance to tf2's.
I was thinking about making a guided curvy beam healgun, like UT3's healer thing, but I decided on the flamer style instead.

What's glitchy about the medic bot?
And I really like this, I hope you can work out how to make it set people alight, that would be worthily epic.
