it looks really fun to play with ;D if you dont know what im talking about, its the "Grif Cannon" thing in the RvB video
It's actually pretty easy to make yourself - just put down 2 or 3 double boxes in a row, put walls on the sides and top of the boxes, delete the boxes, and put mancannons facing a single direction in the "barrel" of the railgun.
Yeah, what they said. Just remember to start at the end of the rail gun for the mancannons, or you'll end up launching the mancannon you are trying to place.
nvm, i made one right after i posted this :-[ haha me and my friend were playing with it, i used 8 man cannons, and he was at the end of the rail gun i pushed a soccer ball in it, it flew and hit him giving me a splatter kill 8)
Try this, next ime you feel like making a racing game make what I call boosters. Take a large statioinary object like a double box (or if you don't have acces to one use a container anchored by several boxes) now take your man cannons and put lean them on two opposite sides of the box with the flow of the man cannon facing the direction that you want to go. If done correctly it should be able to fit a mongoose, and because both cannons are facing the same way and are exerting equal force they propel the object forward without sending it flying, this can also be applyied to making a "super grav lift" that sends you straight up.
I've been working on a missile column on sandtrap for awhile now.... maybe I should try it on foundry.
A rail gun is a high velocity photon/particle gun, it's projectiles are more mass than light, but travel almost at the speed of light. The ones in halo they are refering to uses mancannons to hurl objects at high speed. Next time you are in forge, go to standoff and angle a double open box like a cannon. Then line the inside with 8 mancannons. Next place a soccer ball at the base of the cannon and push it through. ;D
I've been fiddling around with halo physics for awhile, such as if you face a grav lift pointing down and drive over it, the grav lift will actually suck the vehical down giving it a low rider look
Could someone post the link to the video? I think its on Youtube. Never mind. Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ldiX0z2nxY
I can't remember who it was, but a person on my FL made one where there was a caged in area wall thing at the end, and 2/3 people stayed there, then someone else tried to fire objects at them and they had to avoid them.
