*ahem*

This is the second (i guess?) mod ive made.

I think its pretty neat, but then again my opinion is pretty biased.

With his permission, I took apart SpacePope's Blunderbuss launcher.

And out came this:
The DVGAGWFA Gun

Otherwise known as the David Versus Goliath and Goliath's whole fudging army gun.

After making "Gashdal's Gun" I had an Epiphony.

I wanted to make a gun that shot rocks.

and then the name came to me a few minutes later. Bam.
So Then after like *counts* 4 hours of trial and error, I finally got it to work.
Its mostly for-the-lulz because the rocks dont really do much, and as an added bonus,
The rocks gib into fire!
Wootz, so yeah, tell me what you think.

Credit to SpacePope, Theseus, Duh, and FlammableZombie. (they helped me get the code to work)

Well, I'll give it to you that it's one of the better Base.rte parts edits I've seen. I don't think anyone's done rocks before.
On the other hand, the offsets for both the way the actor holds the gun and the place where the rocks are emitted need... a lot of work.

Still, there are worse second mods to be had.

Looks epic. I changed the AddToGroup to Gashdal's EPIC STASH OF INSTANT FUN. No sarcasm. Your first gun was competent, and this is just downright epic. I expect great things from you. Now make a giant stone sprite droppod that gibs into non-sharp fire, so you can still drop peeps with it.
Testing tomorrow.

Dude I told you to fix the offsets on the other gun and learn how they work. You just screwed yourself for not taking my advice. One of the hardest parts of all CC modding is offsets, and the gun offsets are pretty basic so it's not hard

Yeah he has a point, off-sets are pain.. but once you remember basic values for positioning things it's easy. If you need help try looking at weapons that are positioned similar to how you'll want your weapon to be held when you're done and use those off-sets as a reference.

Oh and about the mod, a gun that shoots rock that gib into fire is pretty fun, my next suggestion would be shooting rocks made completely of fire, and a new sprite. Flaming rocks would make it much more fun I think.

Also, I could help with the sprite if you'd like, I'm not the best spriter but I atleast know how to shade.

It's also a huge help when you realized that you can use the actor viewer for offsets

If you want there's a relatively unused-ish chocolate sprite in the Ronin file. The thing it's used for is unused anyway.

Lol. Look though, there is a chunk of chocolate sprite. It's used to make the original antimass, called antigravity chocolate.
