Hi, I request to add a new weapon, the rubber duck.
I posted a detailed description at
<http://www.hedgewars.org/node/629?page=10#comment-29957>. Since I got positive
feedback on that suggestion, I just post (and paste) it here again.
The suggestion text of the thread reads
“I suggest rubber ducks! Detailed description follows.
This weapon will be dropped straight downwards until it hits land, or a hog or
an object or water. If it hits water, the rubber duck will SWIM on the water.
It will swim into the direction of the wind, faster wind means faster rubber
duck. As soon as the rubber duck hits land or an object, it will explode. It
will also explode if it hits land or an object while falling down.
If the rubber duck didn’t hit anything (except water) after 9 seconds, it
will explode by itself (this is to ensure that a rubber duck which swims away
from the mainland doesn’t block the entire game).
The rubber duck is intended to be a strategical weapon. The explosion should be
rather small (about double of the radius of a shotgun shot) and the max.
theoretical damage should be 45 (but with a small range, so the actual damage
may be smaller, maybe this number needs balancing).
The rubber duck should make different squeaky sounds on the following events:
* Thrown by player
* Hits water (only played when hit at or above a speed X)
* Detonation
If the rubber duck hits the water at a very high speed (larger than the ‘Hits
water’ sound), the water should make a small splash.
If this weapon gets added, I suggest the following values for rubber duck in
the weapon scheme:
* Start ammo: 2
* Weapon delay: 0
* Crate content: 1
* Crate likelihood: 4
Luckily, we already have SVGs for rubber ducks, so this can be used as a
graphic for the weapon.
If anyone is writing actual code for this, Write me a message over XMPP or in
IRC (on irc.freenode.net) or write me a PM and I will work on the sound
files.”.
