Dart Gun
Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2017 1:56 pm
Basically, a syringe thrower. I partially implemented it in my mod but after some time trying to make it work, I believe it's not possible to make darts that will deal the containing drug effects on targets. So I made this instead:
It's not as versatile as it needs to be but it works.
My suggestion is to implement code to allow projectiles to apply drug/chem effects upon impact, similar to how syringes work. I'm not savvy enough for actual coding but I can offer sprites with this suggestion:
