The Repair Node

What is the repair node?

The repair node is a scrapped engie buildable. It was going to replace the dispenser.


Cvars:

Repair_node_regen_amount_level1:(Default 15) The amount of health it heals per 2 seconds, at level 1.
Repair_node_regen_amount_level2:(Default 20) The amount of health it heals per 2 seconds, at level 2.
Repair_node_regen_amount_level3:(Default 30) The amount of health it heals per 2 seconds, at level 3.
Repair_node_force: (Default 0) Whether or not to force players to use the node.
Repair_node_enabled: (Default 1) Whether or not to allow players to use the node.
Repair_node_donator: (Default 0) If 1, requires the custom admin flag #1 to be on a client to use the node
Repair_node_ad_time: (Default 120) If non-0, info about the Repair Node will show every X seconds.

How do I use it?
Well, just type:

!nodeon

And you'll be able to use it! To turn it off, type:

!nodeoff

And it will be off.


What does it do?
The repair node:
+Heals your buildings at a rate of 15/20/30 health per 2 seconds, depending on its level
+Can be upgraded
-Cannot heal or give metal to other players
-The Repair Node has 70 health, as opposed to the Dispenser's 150.

I think you forgot the model

The model is already in the GCFs.

Oh, that's strange. Does it have no texture, like in the video?

[Benjamuffin]

Iʻd be happy to give it some textures if you guys could figure out the folder/vmt file names that it canʻt find.

In actual fact. thatʻs the only thing stopping me, because when I set out to make it it has no vmt file present, so I have no idea what to name things.

Also, curious thought, what with it having 3 versions (presumably for building it up) does this plugin just utilize a static level 3 or something?

Just level 3. I already have someone making textures. Thanks though!

Ah cool. Fair enough.

You might want to show them this if they have not seen it already.

Itʻs a good base idea:

[Geel9]

Ok, it now has textures! place them in your server folder and, if you have it, a FastDL!

[FoxMulder]

Here's how it looks. I really like the textures on this, now if that antenna on top rotated that would be awesome! Would also like the healing beam being emitted to other buildings as well.

[Benjamuffin]

The texture's great an' all. But given I'd seen the picture I posted a ton of times. It feels a little out of place.

Naturally this is a personal preference only, and the texure provided is fantastic quality. However I remade them for my own server.

Feel free to add these as an alternative in the original post:



It also might be worth noting however, that on the original textures, the yellow/orange fuel tank, and the red/blue colors, are ever so slightly off when compared with the texture from the dispenser (the red and blue needed to be saturated a little more, and the yellow and orange needed to be desaturated).

Besides making the alternative texture, the other thing I did was make the vmt files a little more like the dispensers one. As it seemed odd not to follow the same in that.

Either way, love that you've done this!
