Idea Shotguns - Ammo Selection

Buckshot and Slugs

I'm not sure how it would work, but for shotguns, you could collect two different types of ammo and select the one you want to use (or just collect that one type) and use it.

Buckshot - A little more damage than slugs, but spreads out with multiple shots.
Slugs - A little less damage than Buckshot, but a single shot instead of a spread-shot.

Buckshot would be common and slugs would be a little rare.

This makes Slugs a good alternative because if 1 shot hits with a slug it'll be as if 5/6 pellets from a buckshot hits you.

The texture for the slug would be that of a buckshot, except it would be blue instead of red and named Slugs*. (Thanks StubbyGB)

Just an idea that popped up when me and my Oldest brother were creating his Zombie Survival game.

 

True.. Maybe only some shotguns can use slugs? Tier 1 and Tier II can use buckshot, but tier III and IV use Slugs?

Fixed it, thanks for that cx

 

They CAN use slugs. But since I don't see a easy way of implementing a ammo switch button, and adding a whole new shotgun with (Slug) or (Buckshot) in the name would be a bit "Messy", you would probably have to have ONLY slugs in your inventory / ONLY buckshot in your inventory to choose the ammo. (That, or since it uses ammo from Top left to bottom right, the top-left most ammo would be the first loaded and if you have 3 slugs loaded but only buckshot in your inventory it would switch them out. That creates a possible conflict though of duping ammo. Which means you would have to make it so you CANNOT reload in different ammo.)

It's still in development, but it's like Minicraft but with guns, better textures, (crafting ability is slightly limited to a coordinate/box type ratio, like tower defense) and in all, almost a totally different game! I work on the graphics and audio/etc. while he works on the coding. Anything else, PM me.

 

Tostrategy xD Yes. I would like more ways tostrategy c:

I mentioned that it'd be difficult and that if added it'd be pretty cool

Interesting idea ! But the Flechette idea is basically what I was trying to say for slugs except only 1 shot instead of a burst.

 

We were talking about that. The problem is, is that would be hard to implement (I think, I'm not the best at coding).

 

Random and late.
Requesting lock :/

Also, Dragon's breath is a drug I use on my victims
TEEHEE! BAI

 

I was just saying so because it was "gravedug".. I guess we could call this Archaeology and not lock it
