Thoughts on a sniper? ;D
 

i think graal should have a sniper. here is what i think it should do
1. zoom around the leve
2. shoot over walls
3. 1 clip
4. very slow reload so its not OP
5.15 damage
6. has a + sign in the center of the screen so you can find who you wanna hit.
thoughts ideas??
oh and a price of 100k?

No.

Snipers don't really work ina 2-D game x.x

Hmm i think i got a good idea how the sniper could be made interesting, even though it would be kinda crazy on a 2d game like graal. could make a video than for feedback

Just use Jester's sniper if so, it looks wonderful.

Jester's and billy's look awesome.

Isn't Neo Rifle a pseudo-sniper?

Its a sniper, but its kinda in the sense how the KSG is a pseudo-shotgun. It tries to act like one but in the end, they're both just basic guns.

But I thought snk is into rifles, and not snipers. I mean, itd be cool, but it would just be another auctioned super expensive gun.

There's just no way it could work. However, if you want one, you should start scripting all the crap you want.

It is good in principle but as has been said in a 2D game it wont be very effective and also the shooting over walls would be quite annoying

How bout a long gun with a red lazer like the AP0, but only your character can see it, and the bullet does +5 damage when shoot through the head?

He's offering a content-related suggestion so there's really no need to get hostile.

There is

The sniper scope can be difficult. So the idea I think there may be is this.

The sniper has a huge spread. There is a long of freeze rate when you fire un-scoped. The damage is lowered if fired un-scoped. This makes no scope un effective unless finishing off an enemy at a diagonal distance (if you get a lucky shot)

There is an extra button given (like ksg given a shield) which has a scope action. This makes your character enter scope stance and is in strafe mode during scope stance. The accuracy has been boosted to no spread. There is less freeze rate when fired in scope mode. However during scope mode, your character's movement speed is decreased.

When I made sniper I figured there could be a + and - sign as the sub options, + would increase your view of the level and increase accuracy but you move a tad slower, - just goes back down to normal view and accuracy. But I wanna see what Calli has in store. I gave him permission to use my sniper already so let's all wait and see.

I kinda wish the sniper isn't an auction weapon. Besides, I'm pretty sure BAR would overpower it. I think everyone (who have enough money) should be able to try out a sniper rifle in era.

Edit:

i like all the ideas honestly, if they can do it that would be great!1!1!1!

Thanks man,I'm a begginer..looks bad to me.

And if jester's comes out im so buying it..

Btw 1k posts ^_^

Well sorry to say this but I believe I heard snk is against people being able to snipe someone from across the level, or any distance at all.

but if stefan likes the idea couldnt he overpower snk? :p

he gave me permission to mess around with that... probably to have me shut up what i should script xD have to finish something else before though

*cough* x *cough* y.... Era iPhone Dev ... Furniture... Bin waiting like a month :p

ohhhhhhh...

I made a new sniper,I'll post it later

OMG ADIAM POST ON MAI THRED

Yes..it sucks..I can make heads but guns are shaded differently..so hard ):

Obtw that little button thingy on the back makes the clip come out.

obtw thats camo

The main problem is the shape. Snipers aren't just big prisms with barrels. Also, try raising the scope a little. Scopes are never mounted like that. The stock is also way too large, and the trigger/handguard is awkwardly shaped. The clip is too far forward on the rifle, it should generally be under the scope. Try using a Ruger M77 as a reference image, the result should look nice if done correctly.

it looks good and maybe if possible have different versions with different camos

I wanted it to be unique thats why i did that. But thanks for the tips.But the thing i dont get is how to shade a gun..if i shade it like an object it'd look weird..

make everything a little darker? :o
