You could probably do it with asss, when a player fires a bomb then it can send 2 more packets for bombs. A player couldnt turn it off through, unless a command was made for it.

It would make the firing ship twitch on all other clients, and the firing client wouldn't see the proper effect (or take damage if they were within range).

Yah, they'd twich.

You could make it show up properly on the firing client's screen, though. Just send the two extra packets to the firing client along with the rest of the arena.

Probably best made as a sort of "demon ship" scenario.

Not if you set it up correctly. If you send the first bomb packet correctly, then send the two other angles after it with a timestamp set before the original packet, Continuum will not draw the old packets but still apply their weapons correctly.

I got it displaying on the client's screen correctly but it only displays on other people screens sometimes, which is unacceptable. I fear I may have to put it into the game module rather than make it a seperate module for it to work correctly.

It may be some kind of fast-bomb detection?

Dunno if this helps, but whenever Ive used the fast bomb trick in chaos, other players tend to ignore the second/third bomb. Could be lag though.

It would be better if you had like chaf that came out of the back of the ship which would send bombs off your trail and onto another heat source. First you'd need heat seaking bombs though

why dont you just change the bomb and bullet graphic arond and change the bomb and bullet damage around.
that way there shouldn't have problems but you wont be able to have muti fire bullets and there would be a lot to change in the cfg, and bombs and bullet fire keys would be opist but that way should work well i think

Bullets are small objects in which you cannot change their collision radius.
Bullets don't have proximity, nor shoot shrapnel when exploding.

bak- how did you know when a bullet/bomb was fired? Was this ever finished.

you can use i_net to register a packet handler function for any type of packet. Listen for the player position packet and than examine if a weapon is being fired.

My great idea was heat seeking bombs... Ahhh yes..
