Topic: Drowse Gun

I play TeeWorlds since December. And came up with new weapon just now.
The weapon topic is closed right now but I'd better give a chance to my idea.

I call this weapon 'Freezer' or 'Drowse Gun'.

The bullet looks like squirt. When it hits a tee, the tee falls down and gets asleep for a while and player can't move for a some time (i.e. 1 sec). Then tee stands up and can move without any damage (if it hasn't been hurt during sleep time by other weapon).

I think this gun can bring new fun in game. We can use this weapon to knock a flag-carrier down or to calm fast players for a while.

I hope there were no mistakes in English. Hi from Russia.

Re: Drowse Gun

Instead of making a complete new gun, I wanted to hack the laser do be a freeze weapon instead as a mod. This would be a funny thing on race_maps or especially the new "flagball" mod from datag.

However this seems to require changes into the engine. And I wasn't really able to do that.

Re: Drowse Gun

That depends on what freezing you want to do.

Re: Drowse Gun

By freezing I meant the situation when tee FALLS down and lies for a while. Maybe bouncy effects can make this falling more cinematographic.

If tee is shot by squirt not in the air, tee just lies down and gets asleep. For a while, of cource.

Then tee awakes, jumps up and goes for a revenge.

Re: Drowse Gun

I actually like the idea (as a new gun). Could be very funny.

Question? search function
Short movies? Lappi's link loft
Teeworlds info'n'tuts on gfx? Landil's sketchbook

Re: Drowse Gun

This is not a new idea.
Take a look in the old "Suggest new guns here"-thread and you'll find suggestions very similar to his a few times.

I personally think this would slow the game down very much, and I don't think that is a good thing.

Used to be very active waay back

Re: Drowse Gun

i dont like the idea of to shot such things
i would like such a gun with stun with AoE but not a big range and a big cooldown and shoot time

such a gun would be good in defending the flag but it would be useless in situtation where u want to kill a running object so it wouldnt slow down the game much and i dont want to think about people who spam this gun and in ur picture it looks like u have maney shots....

Re: Drowse Gun

hmm... i got an idea to this idea big_smile
Maybe he dont freeze, he is only stuned, until he touch he ground.
If he stand on the ground he loose the flag and he falls away, + he sleeps 1 second (not too much. Teeworlds is a fast game)

Re: Drowse Gun

I think complete sleep for one hit would be overpowered. Think about it, it would leave the player completely unable to defend him/herself. A skilled player could turn that single hit into a complete kill with some well placed shots that will always be the same since, again, no dodging. This would make the game less interactive, more solitaire, and I don´t think that´s what anyone really wants. Or?

Might be nice with a drowse effect that doesn´t completely put to sleep, but rather just slows down. Dodging would get harder, but not impossible. It could slow you down and decrease your hook range for instance.

I would so hate that. One of the really good things with teeworlds is that you almost never wonder what the hell happened when you die.

Not entirely true. The laser is pretty much a mix of several suggested weapons (bouncing sludge gun, ray gun, sniper), so those did come through.
