make people projectiles

[IcePacks]

bombs should throw people away from the epicenter at high speeds and people should knock down and/or injure other people when they collide, i have quotes from the community to back me up here

OOC: IcePacks: picture this
OOC: IcePacks: bomb goes boom
OOC: IcePacks: the clown becomes a deadly, flaming projectile

refute that, joyless coder shitstains!

literally how did you post this a whole fucking minute after i posted the thread

do you have this just kinda hanging around somewhere or what

Literately how, holy shit dude.

[Bombadil]

I googled "lion embedding dwarf fortress".


That simple. It's one of my favorite dwarf fortress pictures


I felt it was relevant

[Wyzack]

Yeah it is a popular picture tbh

[Luke Cox]

Yes please

[IcePacks]

hi, yes, it seems there is a lack of people screaming about how this could ostensibly be broken, so i'll do it for you:

But Pax, people projectiles would be broke as fuck! You just grab someone, throw them, and wham! Instant stun! Stun meta!

grabbing controls are clunky as fuck there is nothing wrong with this proposal

[Anonmare]

WWE SUPERSLAM BROTHER. SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM.

[IcePacks]

further idea: make a bowling pin noise when people collide

make it so, coders

[Screemonster]

pinball mode like in carmaggeddon

[paprika]

This is one of those ideas that would be really easy to code so nobody is going to do it, you need to suggest stupid memes like peacekeepers

I am a proponent of the prospect of people projectiles. Program posthaste.

[PKPenguin321]

ill look into it i guess

[PKPenguin321]

[Luke Cox]

Okay but can you deflect people?

[PKPenguin321]

iunno

[Luke Cox]

Literally unplayable

[TheColdTurtle]

How fast will the body be theown at? Can a corpse be embedded into a body?

[PKPenguin321]

it's literally the same as before it just knocks them down if they hit each other

[Screemonster]

baseball bat a motherfucker into another motherfucker

+1

[Luke Cox]

Can we load people into pneumatic cannons and fire them?

[PKPenguin321]

no literally all it does is change how carbons react to hitting other carbons

it's literally the same as before it just knocks them down if they hit each other jesus christ

>baseball bat a motherfucker into another motherfucker
this actually does work since baseball bats throw you like normal

[WarbossLincoln]

make it so throwing people by hand doesn't have enough speed to hurt anyone. unless: you have a new martial art style available to traitors. It would let you grab people more easily and throw them much faster.

If you get thrown out of disposal pipes that should have enough force to knock people down

[DemonFiren]

Fuck that, everyone should be able to participate.
If you want speshul, let hulks be able to throw people at wall-busting velocities.

[TechnoAlchemist]

This is all pretty cool pkp, but can I load someone into a gun and shoot them?

That's a good idea.

We need a special pneumatic cannon that requires a super matter bin. You can load either cuffed people or unconscious/dead people into it.

Low energy PK

[ThanatosRa]

But like. Can I kill a man with monkeys.

[PKPenguin321]

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[TheColdTurtle]

Hulk should be able to throw people into walls which break them

[IcePacks]

goodness gracious this escalated quickly

i'm not sure about weakens or 10 brute i honestly think it should just be a short wall/baton stun but i'm sure my tune will change with stories of furious lawmen giving tiders a taste of their own riots or kekhi fighting valids with valids

[TechnoAlchemist]

I'm pretty sure the wallthrow does 10 brute and weaken 1 too

[IcePacks]

already killed a guy with a corpse

nerf incoming

[Screemonster]

to be fair you could do the same with a stack of floor tiles or just beating the guy off a wall

[MMMiracles]

This also adds the hilarious side-effect of making the jump boots from mining act as a charge attack against people, since that technically throws you.

[Screemonster]

>hit self with bat
>become human taser bolt

[PKPenguin321]

>hit self with bat
>become human taser bolt

wow i actually didnt think of this

emergent gameplay ladies and gents

[IcePacks]

already angrily collided with a sleeping carp tator as sec

i was running out of batons to throw at him

[Atticat]

we need dwarf fortress combat

[Not-Dorsidarf]

we need dwarf fortress combat

Kisat Dur, dwarven martial arts

[Lumbermancer]

Can I kill HoP with Ian's corpse?

[Reyn]

A borg/Drone/Ai should deal bonus damage if used this way, and launching a facehugger into someone should make it latch onto them immediately, as well as knock them the fuck out.

[DemonFiren]

Skip ahead to 37 seconds.
If people can be made projectiles, I reiterate and insist that we need those.
PEPS for life.

[PKPenguin321]

hey that's actually really cool


edit: but wait dont we already basically have those, like arent those basically the gravity guns science gets

[DemonFiren]

Well, no, those things are more like PEPS from Human Revolution.
They oughtta pack more punch but less versatility than Sci's toys.
