Mike Dude's HK-Drone Version 2 RELEASE

[Blaylock1988]

HK-Drone Version 2 RELEASED!
Dupe Attached Below!

I made a new thread for the V2, for all of you that are tired of seeing the V1 thread come back again and again. Now the old thread can rest in peace.

This is the HK-Drone V2 Release. I did not intend to release this one yet, so I have not added some of the commands to it that I want. Also, the Expression 2 is EXTREAMLY messy and has not been optimized or cleaned up at all. Please do not flame about how horribly coded it is.



This version is controlled completely by chat commands. Listed below is a few of the commands:

COMMANDS:
/on
/off
/help
/follow <Player Name>
/stay
/aim
/target <Player Name>
/passive
/fire
/holdfire

You can find out the rest of the commands by checking it out.

credit to the others that helped but I forgot their names

NOTES:
If the turrets spaz for you, then use your E2 stool and update the expression. You don't need the E2 code prior, just right click on the expression on the bottom and click upload and it should fix it.

Like I mentioned, I did not originally intend for this to be released in its current state, but I did it by popular demand. In the future I would like to remake it using quaternions and applyTorque. The turrets get stuck sometimes and get less accurate when the drone is moving a lot. The drone cannot make large changes in elevation while moving forward because it will fall over. It will pick itself back up when flipped over, but it is not the most stabile. The missiles are an older, less effective code. I remade the missiles using quaternions and applyTorque, but I did not include that in this version (I like to keep the very best for myself :P). The missiles do not have an ops safety, if you spam too many missiles, the expression will go over the quota and die, this version has a limit of about 20 missiles at a time.

And please keep in mind that I wrote all of this code (missiles too) back in November.

Don't worry, it'll come.

Pretty Awesome, can't wait for the full release!

[Blaylock1988]

This pretty much is the full release. It is going to be a while until I work on this some more. The video has been uploaded, but youtube still has to process it.

EDIT:

Video works, but only on my channel at the moment, shouldn't be long now.

Hi Blaylock. I shall have fun. Time to start up Gmod!

It is just pure awesome, but should it fall to ground if one of the thrusters blow up? Well, my friend shot and destroyed back thruster and it still kept flying. O_o

I assume you mean with Gcombat or pewpew right? I didn't design it with gcombat in mind. That is why I used the prop spawners for the missiles. The Drone is very light. Hitting a thruster with a magnum will make it spin.

Is anyone else having trouble with the turrets spazzing a little before updating the expression?

i just watched the video and when you make the updated version sometime in the future you should make it slowly go to the ground when you do /off so that it doesn't just flop to the ground.

[Ekocat]

No, I used Explosive Entities tool, not Gcombat or PewPew, but still, I love it.
