ARamblingSpider Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 @OrtorinHere's a prototype, see if that's what you had in mind.What's missing is artwork (the tooth trap assets are being used), description strings (both for the character descriptions and for the recipe) and a mod icon.I also made it that it only accepts "tooth fuel" if it has 66.7% or less uses.I can still work on artwork.

HoneyHam Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Oh, nevermind, Xjurwi's doing the artwork.

Ortorin Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I sorta have a prototype as it is. I thought of a simple and effective animation for your model. With the picture as you have it, the trap would start to turn spinning the teeth like a fan. When the trap retracts it does a lazy corkscrew into the earth. When it is triggered, it spins out of the ground quickly and violently. I think this would be a nice touch, remove teeth from the sprite to show "damage" and indicate when the trap needs another tooth. I can better explain any part of that if you like. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplex Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Ortorin, unless an animator steps up I don't see much point thinking about custom animations... But the teeth removal could be done even without them. We just need one atlas for each state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyHam Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I has a suggestion. The gear in the tooth trap doesn't really look like a gear. I mean, it does, but the color is off. Try and make it more orange-y, because it looks kinda like a wooden disc.(But if that's what you want it to look like, it's fine.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good to me. ;] Could you make it into an atlas? (is the img link I posted working for you?) The smaller trap in the middle corresponds to the trap as an item put on the ground, but not placed ("armed"). I has a suggestion. The gear in the tooth trap doesn't really look like a gear.

I believe it is a wooden disc, and the gear is being considered an internal part of the gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplex Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Testing area has been built. That's 70 traps in there. This is going to be fun! Just keep this in mind, since the issue affects both regular and clockwork tooth traps* (and can't be solved by a mod without rewriting parts of the game). * Bee mines too. It affects everything that has the "mine" component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortorin Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 The traps preform very well. I tweaked the reset time to 8 seconds. Other than that, I don't see anything else that needs to be changed. I'll have to start using these in a real game to get a better feel for how powerful they are.

While that might make realistic sense, it doesn't follow vanilla game logic.Also, it would be a pain in the arse trying to balance that properly.
