Title: Satellite Dish Nuke Lobber

======================================================
I've played around
with satellite dish in the past just
to see what it looked like.. But, I also wanted to make
some kind of weapon out of it. So, I took the dish model
along with the standard issue 'bomb' model and put the
two together to get this new weapon. The Satellite Dish
Nuke Launcher!!
What I did not do:
I've left out any
code for what the costs will be to have
one of these babies because I figured that (since it might
not play well in deathmatch mode) it will probably find
its best use in those mods where there is an entrenched
team behind some kind of high wall or fortress type setup.
So, you can take the code and put in your own costs for
getting one of these in place.
How it works:
Assuming that you've
paid the price for one of these dishes,
you face in the direction that you want the dish to shoot at
and you press your aliased key and a satellite dish pops out
in front of you and lands squarely on the ground facing in
the desired direction. You tell it (in the code) how many
nukes you want it to toss in that direction. Once in place,
every 5 seconds, a large bomb will get tossed in the desired
direction at random velocities with forward and up vectors
randomized so that the bombs don't land on the same spot each
time. The bomb's touch function is the the standard issue
Quake2 bfg_touch() so the bombs impact with the same force
and colorful sprite stuff as the regular bfg fireball taking
out any players within the damage zone (which is relatively
large!). After the desired number of nukes have been lobbed
over the wall, then the satellite dish disappears on its own.
GREAT for those mods
which have entrenched enemy behind
some kind of fortress or wall! Place one of these babies
facing in the desire launch direction and let it lob some
nukes over the top of their walls and splatter the whole lot
of them at once!!
Okay, let's get
started!
===============================================================
============================================================
===============================================================
Open up your
g_cmds.c file and go near the bottom of your
ClientCommand() function and add the following as shown
by example..
---------- IF-ELSE
STATEMENTS --------
else if (Q_stricmp(cmd, "decoy") == 0 )
SP_Decoy(ent);
else if (Q_stricmp(cmd, "drone") == 0 )
Cmd_LaserDrone_f(ent);
else if (Q_stricmp(cmd, "teleport") == 0)
Cmd_Teleport_f(ent);
----------- ADD THESE LINES ------
else if (Q_stricmp(cmd, "satellite") == 0)
Cmd_Satellite_Nuke(ent);
else if .....
This will place one
of the satellite dishes facing
in the desire direction.
============================================================
Add this prototype
declaration to the top of you g_cmds.c
file:
void
Cmd_Satellite_Nuke(edict_t *ent);
===========================================================
============================================================
Add the following
code to you g_weapons.c file as shown from
start to end..
---------------------

}
//==========================================================
void Cmd_Satellite_Nuke(edict_t *ent) {
// Set it to toss 5
missiles..
Position_Satellite_Dish(ent,5);
}
---------------------
STOP HERE -------------------
===============================================================
Lastly..
Remember to bind a
key in your Autoexec.cfg file as shown
by example below:
bind s
"satellite"
That's it!! Now get
out there and HANG THE BASTARDS!
Have Fun!!
