Spring Shotgun Tutorial
Hey, this is my first tutorial, so sorry if I did anything wrong. I tried to make everything as simple and easy to follow as possible.
The point of this tutorial is to teach people how to make a spring powered shotgun. It is divided into 12 steps.
CLICK THE PICTURES TO SEE THEM FULL SIZED!!!
Step 1
Create a rectangle, preferably not a square. This is going to be the shotgun shell.

Step 2
Make enough circles to cover the rectangle. These will be the pellets.

Step 3
Move the rectangle to the front and lower its opacity enough to see the circles.

Step 4
Add fixates to all of the circles.

Step 5
Create a frame around the shotgun shell. Make sure the frame is not connected to the shell in any way at this point, and make sure the frame has an opening on the right side. (The left side works too, but for the purpose of this tutorial make an opening on the right side.)

Step 6
Create a spring and attach it to the shotgun shell and the frame. Then create a rectangle and attach it to the shotgun shell and the frame. This rectangle will act as a holding bar.

Step 7
Create a rectangle that fills most of the right side of the frame. Give the rectangle a collision menu of B and and make it a killer. Attach it to the frame, but do NOT attach it to the shotgun shell!

Step 8
Give the shotgun shell a collision menu of B. DO NOT GIVE THE PELLETS A COLLISION MENU OF B!

Step 9
Give the spring a Target Length of 259 m. (Note: Depending on the size and weight of the shotgun, you may have to raise the Target Length. Do not raise the Spring Constant/Spring Strength as it can glitch sometimes.)

Step 10
Give the holding bar a destroy key of f.

Step 11 (Optional)
Select the shotgun shell, then click selection and click select circles. Then click Geometry Actions and click add tracers.

Step 12
Add a hinge to aim, and then blast away! By the way, if you don't know already, the f key fires.

Re: Spring Shotgun Tutorial
It's a one shot 'gun'. :/
And don't double post, it's only been 10 MINUTES.

It wasn't really meant to be innovative, groundbreaking, or revolutionary. Just a simple tutorial.

Re: Spring Shotgun Tutorial
spread in this one is unrealistic - and the whole shotgun round is unrealistic too.
i've made an other shotgun shell. it IS unrealistic too, but... much less than yours

Re: Spring Shotgun Tutorial
Well... It really wasn't meant to be realistic... Cause in a 2D physics world like Phu--- Algodoo, nothing is actually realistic. I didn't post this in the scene section, I posted it in the tutorial section, so why are you commenting about why the shotgun is unrealisic?

Well, if it's realistic, it generally works better.
You want feedback? I'll give you feedback.
1) A 'one-shot' gun isn't a good start. It's hardly a gun. You should've made a tutorial wherein it automatically reloads the ammo and so on.
2) This is too simple.
3) A gun that relies on the destroy key is not usually a good thing.

Re: Spring Shotgun Tutorial
I think it is great...
tried to make it reloadable, and all i have to do is make it fire the right shell when it is commanded

Yah, I made one of those too. I also made one that fires a bunch at the same time, its moderately powerful.
@RicH: This tutorial is meant for people who don't already know how to make one. From there they can create as many re-loadable shotguns as they want. I don't care, I'm just spreading the knowledge of spring guns. Last I checked they weren't that well known. I might be wrong though.

Re: Spring Shotgun Tutorial
More ammo and a more realistic 'spread' of bullets when shot would be nice.

Re: Spring Shotgun Tutorial
Spambot bumped it. Under Ground posted another stupid "OMG! You bumped. That's wrong!" reply while being more useless then the one who bumped(not in this case, but in other "real" bumps). It's stupid really.
