Changing STKM Rocket Particles?

  • techno156     30th Jul 2013 Member 5 Permalink

    Perhaps a way to change the particles a STKM's rockets eject, using CONV? I'm suggesting this, as I don't want my stickman melting everything as it flies. The pink 'field' around the stickman's legs could change depending on the element the boots are producing: Ie: PLSM = Blue/Purple , Fire = Red/Pink, EMBR = Gold/Yellow

    Alright idea, but needs a little more development. I.e. does the color match the element's color? How would CONV work in conjunction?

    Demoman, the STKM's feet touch the conv, changing the element. So technically, you could have 1 PLSM boot, and one EMBR Boot. :P The color is supposed to match the element's color.

    It TOTALLY doesn't work that way...as soon as it moves away from the converter it will change back.

    Not quite, cyberdragon. The boots would hold their particle state until they hit a CONV with a different ctype.

    that would probably be codeable, but I don't know if anyone will do it.

    ...You guys do know, CONV kills everything it touches that isn't the same element, right? o_o

     

    You could use the ctype of spawn particles or something. :P

     

    - Can't make more than one of those, forgot. INVS or something maybe? :P Or BIZR.

    Okay, I made a thing. Basically, stickman can either
    (1) use PLSM,
    (2) use its ctype when its own tmp is 1,
    (3) use its tmp2 when its own tmp is 2
