Hero: Jaws

K-OS · **Author**

Summon Jaws

Desciption
Summon Jaws from the depths of the sea to slaugther your enemies.

Jaws will find the nearest enemy and attack it from below.

shconfig.cfg CVARS

Code:

register_cvar("jaws_level", "9" )
register_cvar("jaws_cooldown", "90" ) // Time in seconds the player must wait before he can use the power again
register_cvar("jaws_range", "2000") // The maximum distance that jaws searches for an enemy

This hero took me a lot of time and effort, so please be gentle with it

But i still had a lot of fun with it.

This hero make use of the Ultimate Gore Enhancement plugin by jtp10181

The hero can work without the gore plugin, but i suggest you use it.

UPDATES:
- XP and frag count now get increased when jaws makes a kill for you
- When jaws get stuck behind a object, he tries to jump over it
( This also causes a strange bug where jaws swims straight up a wall sometimes )
- When jaws get stuck behind a wall, he will find a other enemy
- Fixed bug that jaws didn't know what to do when his target gets killed before he gets there
- Made jaws move in a more shark-like way when he approaches the enemy

very nice.

2 problems:

1, when u use shark to kill someone it doesn't register u as a killer thereby not giving you xp

. that should b ezily fixed.

2, it kills you if u cast jaws and u get into the way of the shark when it dives. (dunno if it was meant to be like that but there u go.)

Technicly you didn't kill the enemy, jaws did, So jaws should get some xp

And of course it's gona kill you if you're standing to close to your enemy, 'cause jaws is just gona open his big mouth and eat as much as posible.
He will also kill your teammates if theire standing to close to the enemy.
It's all been thought out

so... if the caster of jaws don't get xp for the kill of jaws... what is the point of this being a superhero? o.O

The_One · 01-18-2006 , 05:14

yang has a point about the xp thing. but overall good job lol on starwars it dived and jumped as high as the cliff lol luv this hero

but sometimes when you launch it it gets stuck and just points out the ground (the whole shark) and who ever walks into it dies.

and the extra gore plugin dont really want extra gore for everything just to make one hero look good

EDIT: dont code for module we need a good coder all new the heroes are rips except yours/yangs/and forums moderators and module is dying off anyway...

It increases your chance of survival when fight the whole enemy team on your own.

I haven't had that bug yet where jaws gets stuck and i get killed when i walk into him.
I'll take another look at the code tonight.
You got any more info about when he got stuck and where?

Also you don't gain experience in driving a car when you see someone else doing it, right??

The_One · 01-18-2006 , 06:14

it has got stuck about 2 times in open area on cs_assault and starwars and this aint about a car

its pretty boring not knowing if you have striked with jaws

and it would be better if you gained XP it aint that hard to register a kill to the player?
