Derp.

On topic: Well that didn't take long. Hopefully Valve will ship out an official patch to nerf it soon. Because this is just ridiculous.

Re: [TF2] Nerf Short Circuit NAO
 

Sounds like they accidentally set it too fast, because it doesnt sound good, like it spams the shooting sound.

Re: [TF2] Nerf Short Circuit NAO
 

Does it use 2x metal if you miss? If not, I'd like that added.

Re: Re: [TF2] Nerf Short Circuit NAO
 

There's no real way to detect when you miss. I had to do something hacky to even detect when you fire.

Re: [TF2] Nerf Short Circuit NAO
 

You could use CalcAttackIsCritical to detect when you fire, and ontakedamage for the hit.

Actually I forgot about projectiles so nvm.

Re: Re: [TF2] Nerf Short Circuit NAO
 

The Short Circuit doesn't roll for random crits.

Re: [TF2] Nerf Short Circuit NAO
 

Thanks for this. I notice sometimes even with reduced speed it still fires two quick shots using up 40 metal instantly.

Re: [TF2] Nerf Short Circuit NAO
 

Also it would be nice if you added two metal consume options. One for if the shot hits something (projectile or player) and one for if the attack misses.

Before the weapon used to do -18 metal if it destroyed a projectile or hit a player, and -36 metal if attack missed.
