like swords or something spinning..

chainsaw turret? idk.

I have a boomerang launcher... that's melee.

if you do get into passive you should make one that lets you manually fire them at one point... for a boss or sumfin. but i guess if you have nuke theres no point.

That's been suggested, and am considering of doing that, with the user's choice of having manual or pilot control.

and have you thought of traps?

other than turrets that set up traps (like the mine turret that's been suggested), I don't want anything to do with the user manually setting up traps.

It makes enemies grow. This makes then slower and also makes them a bigger target for other turrets.
no. weird. even though this like the easiest thing to script :P

K. That was kind of a half assed idea anyway...

k I finished the prism tower, and am now starting on the mecha walker - the turret that walks. I already decided to name it mecha walker, unless its original creator strongly resents the name... hoeloe?

oh and I thought of it having two machine guns like a typical mecha walker would, and in addition a fireball launcher.

This would be a very expensive unit, as it kicks too much ass.

a good idea that you can control almost any turret if you upgrade it to a level three, then you click on it and you can fire fireballs, electricity or monkeys. depends on the turret, cheers

walker turret is near completion. Scripting is pretty much done, just enhancing the graphics. I guess I'll just do everything that's been said here that I liked in order until I get them all done.

I'm gonna skip mortar (not taht I won't do it, I just don't wanna do it now), I'll do the nuke turret.
Though you should know, djbdr, that it will not launch a nuke. I will simply use the 'radiation' factor of the missile.

hey man make sure you have a slow tower that does splash dmg. I was also thinking you could make a stun tower that sent out shock waves.

Already have a turret that shoots multiple enemies, therefore this turret doesn't add anything special.

stun tower - already have a stun turret (snowball turret), and already have a sonic wave turret. Combining the two, when they both exist seperately is bad ;-)

I'm going w/ a modern theme here, bullets and weird cannon shit.
besides, it's sounds like a regular turret. I need originality here.

hoeloe: k. thanks

Duck turret.. just a normal cannon, but once the duck has been launched it runs back to the cannon and gets launched again.
So if they are far away its a slower firing speed and if theyre near its a fast one.

it's a very interesting concept. but why duck?
this is not a cartoon-type game...

I'll use the concept if you can come up w/ a modern-type of thing that does that. no animals.
Cuz I can't think of anything =/

wdh?
I want actual turrets. not retarded cartoon shit, and not general shit like 'blows the ppl da fuck out!!"
may have exaggerated on the quote but w/e.

If you want to actually make a worthy suggestion, and actually make a decent turret, look at previous suggestions, and my comments about them.
What I'm looking for is unique turrets that have some kind of cool special ability. For example, the prism tower, which I think is my favorite (taken from Red Alert 2). When a prism tower is in range of another tower, they combine power to attack with twice the damage.
be freaking original. wdh's w/ the duck shit?

both I suppose. The lowest level enemy is an alien space marine, while other units are dudes in different types of vehicles and shit.

I don't see how this would make a difference but w/e.

I suppose I am a little unclear of my expectations. I'm sorry if I shoot lots of ideas down, but I am looking for something quite specific.

I wrote a list of turrets that I already made in my first post, and there are additions to the list a couple of posts up. Read it, and it will give you an idea of what I'm looking for. Here is the updated list (combined list):
triple cannon
Power cannon (builds up a glowing ball thingy, and does massive damage - I guess it's like an ion cannon)
minigun
home-seeking missle launcher
electric gun (the electricity can pass through multiple targets)
weird triangle thing (it's weird. it spins n shit... nvm...)
ion cannon minigun
snow machine (slows down the bitches)
flamethrower (does more damage than regular, but speeds up the enemy units)
triple fireball cannon (shoots fireballs, that do splash damage when exploded)
sniper fireball cannon (shoots a very fast fireball, does that more splash damage, and the cannon obviously has a great range)
shotgun (shoots multiple bullets at a wide range)
quadruple shotgun (^.^)
sonic pulse (shoots sound waves that can hit multiple units - pass through units)
boomerang (it's... a boomerang launcher...)
poison turret (poisons the enemy, which deals damage over-time)
prism tower (combines power of other prism towers)
mecha-walker (it... walks!)
artillary (shoots up, then... death from above!)
sniper cannon (it's a freaking sniper...)
mini-nuke turret (explosion, and creates a temporary raidation radius which poisions the enemy)
mine deployer turret (deploys mines - max of 5 mins at a time)
liquid nitrogen turret (causes minor damage, and freezes the enemy (causes their movement to be slowed))

... ok?
