So you have the right idea...Fusion charge = 2^time. So you have the right idea.<br /><br />The grenades from the Charge Projector don't hurt you -- if I was being fully realistic they would, but I'm going for some simplicity here. This may change later.<br /><br />Also, each weapon uses its own ammo, and can carry a max number of magazines. I think it's twelve for the Pulse Rifle and six for everything else; more effective weapons have rarer ammo. Again, for simplicity, the player can carry all six weapons.Jim Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260131723330084739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485619538190338675.post-70055466774566192902009-06-13T17:28:48.139-07:002009-06-13T17:28:48.139-07:00For the Fusion Pistol, 1 charge = 12 damage, I...For the Fusion Pistol, 1 charge = 12 damage, I'm assuming? Therefore 8*12=96 damage? I'm a little confused cause I thought remember you saying something about it charging exponentially . Does it charge exponentially with time perhaps? Also, is it possible to hurt yourself with the Charge Projector since they have a 2 seconds before detonating? <br /><br />Also... does your character have a magical bag of holding for his ALL of his weapons and ammo? What's the limits on what can be carried? (Are there limits?) <br /><br />I understand your mindset, and you seem to have a good weapon lineup with each weapon doing it's own thing. From the brief descriptions given, I can see where there appears to be some flexibility different styles of play. Of course, if you're making certain types of ammo rarer than others, then that may not be an accurate assumption. (Of course, I know you aren't going to drop plasma lances like candy from a pinata... then you'd just have a bunch of "wasted code.")Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087314171140766948noreply@blogger.com
