[REQUEST] "Pull towards" battlefield mechanic
« on: November 07, 2024, 08:48:29 am »
Hi.

A "pulling" routine attached to a (weapon) attack
Like a harpoon gun that pulls the target towards the attacker/location
(And same effect in reverse)

I suppose it would need to be in some kinda for next loop
Every cell it'd have to check for blocks & obstacles
(Stop if unit will be pulled into a box, wall, window, etc)
Actually it'd be hilarious if a stumble or prone effect might ensue if that happens
Also probably need some kinda size/weight/strength check

With clever implementation it could also allow for things like ascension guns

I did
It's not a private request for a personal mod?
It's a request for a new feature in upcoming oxce builds
What's wrong?
