The projectile itself isn't the issue, it's the charge animation and the little sparks it sheds off while traveling. Those shift in color but the projectile stays pretty much the same.

Alright, this is very slow, and doesn't properly check some lists, and doesn't check multidimensional lists, but FOR THE MOST PART this should grab you all references to something
proc Like I said, it's still missing a few things since I'm having issues perfecting the recursion, but it's a start. Edit: Should definitly mention, this won't catch anything that's caught in a spawn. Spawn() also acts as a reference, and there's no way to find them. Edit #2: ALSO won't find anything in global lists, since world isn't a datum. |
Fixed the colors and the bug with the poles as shown by poplava.
The game runs at around 50mb of ram max now. I think that'll likely increase depending on what's in the game but.... I'm just very relieved. Apparently, in order to get additive color for the matrix, it needs to be in the format: color=list(null,null,null,null,rgb()) |

For those interested, here's the fancy coloured lighting I wrote. It uses bumarse all CPU, and is 70 lines of code, lol.

After a harrowing night, more updates:
Slightly modified the charge bolt to look less squished in the front, and I've increased the charge bolt's power. Now, when an enemy is overkilled by a certain amount, it will die instantly. This makes the enemies less dangerous upon death, but only if you hit it with a big hit, like a charge shot! |

Can you make it so that enemies have a chance to do their own charged attacks as well? Will you ever make an on rails level?? |

1. Not all of them, enemies will get stronger the further into the story you are and your blaster will upgrade to compensate, but not enough to trivialize the content ahead of you, it's entire purpose is to make you more powerful against the early content to ease exploration of earlier portions of the game.
2. No. Charging the shot is it's own cooldown, and I don't feel it necessary to further restrict players for choosing a better option. Some enemies will also only be vulnerable to charge shots, so fighting them would be a nightmare if there were an additional cooldown. 3. Not really, that'd be restricted to bosses. Taking massive damage from anything not boss tier would probably feel really cheap. 4. Not sure yet. |

Lightning reacts to water (mist in this case) and fire to anything volatile. |

Webm because it's big. Animation for the upgrade chambers because you guys thought it looked better for upgrades.... I kind of agree. Note: The notifications for upgrades and saving also stick around until you click the screen now. I just happened to click this one relatively quickly. |

The color of the default "bullet"? Such a subtle color effect might not be worth the hassle. Looks fairly constant light blue to me.
