[mod]ranged weapons[2016.07.21] [0.2] [rangedweapons]

hello minetest!

today i present you the ranged weapons mod!

it adds some throwable weapons and guns

that includes:


shurikens: wooden, stone, steel, bronze, gold, mese, diamond (they deal as much damages as the same material sword would, the golden one is as strong as mese)

javelin: deals 6 damage and penetrates mobs/players

guns:
3 handguns: (makarov and bereta98 uses 9mm bullets while desert eagle uses 375. bullets, handguns are low at damage and velocity, but quite cheap)

3 revolvers: (uses 375. bullets, deals higher damage than handguns and has bigger velocity than any other guns, not as cheap as handguns, but still not too expensive to make)

4 rifles: ( uses 10mm bullets, deals highest damage of all other guns and penetrates mobs/players, also, they got higher velocity than handguns, but not as high as revolvers, they are quite expensive to make)

4 shotguns: (uses shotgun shells to shoot, theyr damages ain't so high, but they can harm a swarm of players/mobs in 1 shot if they all are close to each other, and those are quite expensive to make)

2 power guns:
electro gun: (uses power charges to shoot, it shoots a slowly moving, big area reaching electric charge, that continously damages players/mobs that are touching it, it penetrates then aswell!, this one is extra expensive to make, but believe me, it will make you unbeatable against players without diamond armor, and the strongest of mobs!)

laser rifle: (uses poer charges to shoot, it shots a laser beam that penetrates mobs/players and blocks, and that lets you reach even the mobs and players behind walls!, might not be as expensive as electro gun, but still it sick expensive to make!)

as a bonus, this mod also makes "default:clay_brick: (clay brick) throwable!

now for the recipes!


some code from "throwing" mod was used to make this mod

depends: default, moreores (some recipes needs silver and mithril!)
license: WTFPL (do what the @#$% you want with the public license)
mt version: tested on mt 0.4.14 (should work with 0.4.10 - 0.4.13 aswell)
recomendation: use wield3d made by stu with this mod, and then make people in multiplayer s&$% theyr pants when they see u with the gigantic jackhammer ;D

your welcome, idk if i will manage to ever create a gun that would work automatically, but theres one gun in kaeza's firearms mod.

I've tried it but unfortunately his guns can't hurt players or mobs :\

Looks really good!
edit: it is really good!
Just a suggestion; instead of using a single massive entity for shot, you could make lots of little entities but give them different acceleration or velocity, that way they would spread out but not from the moment they are fired.

update!

as D00Med suggested, shotguns now shoot a spread of bullets!

[D00Med]

Nice!

The war may begin! Well done, this is a good mod to make survival servers more interesting. Also the shooter mod should work parallel to this one. Are there plans to provide recipes for the case moreores is not available? (making it an optional dependency)

A suggestion for the code: Right now there are about 1000 lines of code that could be saved.
My idea would be to write a new function to do on_step, using the given tool parameters:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

function do_onstep_thing(self, dtime, cooldown_time, damage, entity_name, drop_item_name)
   self.timer = self.timer + dtime
   ...
end

RANGEDWEAPONS_STEELSR.on_step = function(self, dtime)
   do_onstep_thing(self, dtime, 0.06, 6, "rangedweapons:steelsr", "rangedweapons:steel_shuriken")
end

RANGEDWEAPONS_MESESR.on_step = function(self, dtime)
   do_onstep_thing(self, dtime, 0.055, 7, "rangedweapons:mesesr", "rangedweapons:mese_shuriken")
end


Having this mod on Github would be very helpul to contribute.

Thanks for your great mod !

I added to my server to use weapons for hunting.
Only two things i changed:

- first restricted weapon use to a special area (hunting area in my server)
- second the drops of shuriken, javelins and so on when hitting a node
dropping on the floor is buggy and crashed server recently. so i deleted it.


Area restriction of weapons might be useful on other servers too, so no griefers
can disturb other players. Here is the code of init.lua:
