My first Mech, New Version Available!!!!! Options

[Machine]

I want to give special thanks to LKO for his great tutorial and help.

It's a very big mech; which would fit nicely with LKO's mech warfactory :biggrin:
Inspired by Emperor (Harkonnen Devastator) I present you the GDI Devastator.

In-game and TS style cameo

The download (with the unit, basic coding and the cameo).

The coding:

Rules.ini:
[DEVASTATOR]
WalkRate=1
Speed=3 ;low values 3 or 2 work fine
Turret=no

Art.ini:
[DEVASTATOR]
Cameo=DEVAICON
Voxel=no
Remapable=yes
Facings=8
WalkFrames=40
StandingFrames=1
StartWalkFrame=0
StartStandFrame=320
PrimaryFireFLH=0,0,0
StartFiringFrame=320
FiringFrames=1

I hope you enjoy this "small" unit as I do.
Give credit if you use in a public release

EDIT: BTW I forgot to say that I have not found the FireFLH; would be a great help if someone does

EDIT2: New Version!!!

Damn, that thing looks nice (especially considering it's your first) :blink:
I agree with with Creagor about the legs being too thin, though you already know they are

It's a pity that in TS while you can have a unit with only a barel (and no turret) which can only move up and down, you can't get it to work without giving the unit Turret=yes in rules.ini, meaning that even though the turret can't rotate, the unit 'll be able to fire in any direction anyway...
If this wasn't the case, you could've made the legs the unit and the body the barrel, which would look very interesting ingame. It still would... But the fact the unit 'll be able to fire in any direction without turning just makes it worthless :(
