Add gas ejection to pneumatic canon

Post by Midaychi » #182394

Currently, the pneumatic canon does not care about what is in the attached tank, besides the pressure of any gas.

Add in a check to see what's in the tank, and eject 'spent' gas in a trail following the projectiles.

That way if you use a tank of BZ or burn mix or something, it'll actually make a difference vs just a can of oxygen or something.

An example of something you could do with this: Fill canister with superheated plasma. Projectile fired also leaves a trail of fire.
Another example: Bz and N2O mix, hilarity tube.
A third: Superchilled gas of some sort, freeze tube.

A pneumatic cannon is a pneumatic cannon. It uses highly compressed gas to accelerate objects along a tube and launch them at something.
I simply suggest someone add to the loop of code so the used up gas also is ejected along with the objects.

in4 people start using N2O/Anesthetic tanks from medical so they can instagib their target and put everyone else around them asleep not wearing internals.

Or just atmosia super heating/chilling some gas to completely fuck up an entire room.

This brings me one step closer to being able to properly RP as a supervillain.

flamethrower is secretly a gas shooter it doesn't have to just throw hot plasma
fill it with supercooled n2o protip

Pneumatic Cannons would be even better than a flamethrower, they would shoot flaming glass shards at people that set them on fire!
