Wrist-mounted flamethrower

I’m trying a few new things, ‘new’ as in things I haven’t tried before, because let’s be real, giving Mandalore a flamethrower, somebody must have come up with this idea before. This is what I came up with, I moved the handconjure dummy to make the the flame spray beam originate from the wrist instead of the hand. Then I had to add some sort of gun nozzle, and I meant for it to come out of Mandalore’s vambrace, but I still haven’t found a way to make it look good. I’d rather avoid adding meshes to an existing 3d model, the end result never looks as good as the original model, or as smooth I should say. What I did was add an entry in visualeffects.2da so that the gun nozzle would only appear as a visual effect for half a second, unfortunately you can’t hook up a visual effect to just any body part you want, so I had to use the root dummy. I’m not satisfied, perhaps I’ll give it another try, meanwhile it’s been fun :D

Huh, very interesting. I'd say it looks pretty good. Not perfect but compared to Boba' Fett's flamethrower which is an attatchment above the wrist, I think it's fairly decent. Especially, when you consider that this is thousands of years prior. Have you given it any stats yet? 

If you haven't, mabye you might consider having it linked to attributes, as in base dmg +attribute bonus?

Thanks jc2. As I said I'd rather not add a permanent wrist device to Mandalore's model, perhaps I'll improve on that gun nozzle visual effect and see how it goes.

any stats yet?

Nope, for now I'm just trying to make it look good.

Whatever happened to this project?

Not really a project, this was me 'playing'. I might even pick this up again at some point, but who knows.
