📋 About This Mod

A satellite from space can rain destruction down on the wasteland.

Description This is a pretty much storyless mod that adds a Tactical Orbital Laser Strike, or TOLS (pronounced like tolls). The strike is called down by paining a target with the provided laser designator (the targeting system isn\'t good enough to actually track, it attacks where the beam hits). Coming Soon A new model for the designator. A requirement that you be scoped in order to fire (gets rid of the \'beam from nowhere\' look) Also, there are currently two controlling variables you can set to change how this works. The default method is a random effect each time you fire. If you set the variable aaaIonQuest.demo to one (1), then it will cycle through each on like in the video. If you set aaaIonQuest.override to a number between 1 and 4, then it will always fire the selected effect. For reference: 1=spiral, 2=scatter, 3=focus, 4=bombardment. 2_pR44V8ygc Issues I am aware of a few issues with this. Such as the fact that if you shoot it into the sky it will not do anything, and the dry firing sound plays as a 3D sound object (not sure why, it just does this). This problem also occurs if you shoot out of \'range\' (I\'m not exactly sure what the range is, as it seems to change). For the most part, so long as you shoot somewhere between you and the LOD (the low-res models in the distance) you should be good. Requirements Requires EVE for a couple visual effects. Details Each blast has a duration of approximately 8. 5 seconds. The exception is the scatter blast, which lasts for just 5, but does quite a bit more damage. Both Spiral and Focus have an EMP blast associated with them. This blast has a range approximately as far as the pulse sphere. These two blasts also have an image modifier associated with them that gives a custom double vision effect for about 5 seconds. They also have a small radiation level at the point of impact, a magnitude of 20 for 10 seconds. Requirements This REQUIRES EVE. You can get it here if you don\'t have it. NOTE I know there\'s no file, I\'m still editing the last bit of it. It should be up in a couple of hours. Another note, you can\'t tell in the video, but this stuff has a massive FPS hit. I was running around 50-60 before firing each one, but ran down to barely 20 during each animation cycle. So be warned, this could cause major lag on lower end machines, or even higher end ones if you have a lot going on at once. Use at your own risk and with discretion. Credits TalkieToaster for the code and original mod this is all based on EVE for some of the visual effects used Binoculars and Portable Scopes for the targeter mesh Pintocat for play testing and ideas
