+1 for weaponcore version, I honestly can't believe that the only weaponcore gun for characters that I can find is 1 railgun mod, all these player guns but none of them are for weaponcore, and apparently they all go bang in your hands when you walk through a defence shield with them, or something like that, it would be real nice to have a few more options in the armory

I think I was aware this wasn't working last I tried it, which is very nearly 3 years ago, I don't know if I'll get around to updating this one, I may consider just making a new one with weaponcore

Does not seem to work anymore
Lightmanticore 9 Feb, 2022 @ 5:54am 
Ok! Thank you so much!
nukeguard  [author] 8 Feb, 2022 @ 5:30pm 
no, weirdly
Lightmanticore 7 Feb, 2022 @ 7:07pm 
question, can you move yourself toward objects?
Blues Hailfire 5 Jan, 2022 @ 4:18pm 
Thank You SO SO SO MUCH!
nukeguard  [author] 5 Jan, 2022 @ 3:39pm 
you have my permission, I'm not anywhere near getting around to updating this
Blues Hailfire 3 Jan, 2022 @ 8:57pm 
Hi there I'm reaching out on behalf of the StarWars Universe server we would love to modify this mod for our use, with proper accreditation of course. We simply need your permision :)

@Parker Posey's Mouth there is (not like you said u wanted, but it exists) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=551371834&searchtext=half+life+2+gravity+gun
nukeguard  [author] 5 Mar, 2020 @ 7:03am 
They are partially broken due to animations, also keen changed some things with weapons, and these dont affect grids atm
Potato127 4 Mar, 2020 @ 8:12pm 
i wish this was updated to work
nukeguard  [author] 4 Feb, 2020 @ 12:05pm 
yea I hope to, i tried using them a week or two ago, and they don't seem to affect grids anymore but still players. So, hope I can get this working again, maybe better models and working character animations
Parker Posey's Mouth 4 Feb, 2020 @ 10:47am 
Oh my goodness. I was thinking about how much I wished there was some kind of "hand-held landing gear" tool, that would allow engineers to lift and manipulate small blocks by hand, and this... well, this might be better. I hope it's up and working sometime soon! I'd love a gravity gun for this physics game.
nukeguard  [author] 9 Sep, 2019 @ 3:12pm 
they may be broken now, i'm getting around to testing them again, as my flamethrower is also broken
tony422 8 Sep, 2019 @ 1:04pm 
It's not working. The beam don't exert any force on any thing.
nukeguard  [author] 29 Jul, 2019 @ 4:40pm 
should work on anything that is dynamic in the world, this mod may have issues atm, as I have not added in the new animations. Also do you have the correct ammo in inventory?
Valerian 29 Jul, 2019 @ 2:28pm 
It's not working, does it only work on enemy grids or something?
nukeguard  [author] 25 Jul, 2019 @ 5:39am 
Oh, I may not have added them to assembler blueprints
Rusted Droid 24 Jul, 2019 @ 1:16pm 
Any plan to make handheld range finder? Rifle with laser that with only single shoot will give you gps of hit object.
BSOD 24 Jul, 2019 @ 6:19am 
Now I did not need the assembler to get the guns I used SHIFT + F10 but I still want to know how to get the guns without SHIFT + F10.
BSOD 23 Jul, 2019 @ 5:59pm 
In my survival world, I cant assemble the tractor or repulsor beam in the assembler, but I assembled the cells for them. Do you know how to get the guns?
Jeo Cargo 9 Jul, 2019 @ 7:31am 
alright cool, thanks
nukeguard  [author] 9 Jul, 2019 @ 7:01am 
yes, but it messes up animations at the moment, keen and their complicated animations system that you need just for hand weapons :-/
Jeo Cargo 9 Jul, 2019 @ 1:26am 
does this still work?
nukeguard  [author] 1 Jan, 2019 @ 2:39pm 
They changed to the Tractor Beam mod, though I do admit I have lost the ability of the fixed version.
Das Blüntsmoken 31 Dec, 2018 @ 4:21pm 
Whatever happened to the turret version of this concept? I remember those being some of the most fun things I've ever used. Do you plan on bringing those back? Perhaps as a static weapon to make things simpler?
mookie1590 3 Oct, 2018 @ 6:13pm 
Is that update ready? This looks incredible.
I wish to use this with my max speed mod, nerfed jetpack. Makes it hard to build, move, destroy further out. I'm thinking of a few ways to use this to help me in these endeavors.
nukeguard  [author] 25 Sep, 2018 @ 12:25am 
maybe I didn't yet, since march, Oh i think i was still testing newer models
nukeguard  [author] 25 Sep, 2018 @ 12:25am 
didn't I update it?
LedFusion 23 Sep, 2018 @ 12:01pm 
this is the most fun mod ive ever used in combination with unlimited speed mods XD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE THIS!!!
Faceless 22 Sep, 2018 @ 12:17am 
Nukeguard, add me as a friend?
Six 10 Aug, 2018 @ 6:11pm 
Hurray, more crashing ships!
Mike Loeven 5 Aug, 2018 @ 5:47pm 
Can you make a version that's a grappling hook so I can go Mortal Kombat on people ?

shadow onion 22 Jul, 2018 @ 3:54am 
In that case i see these being quite helpful to those who play with the jet pack off.
nukeguard  [author] 21 Jul, 2018 @ 12:10pm 
these do a little bit, i have the force applied to player low
shadow onion 21 Jul, 2018 @ 2:04am 
Is there a version which can drag or push the player if they are using it without magboots? It would be cool if i could use it like a grapple.
Hanadon 11 Jun, 2018 @ 2:15pm 
hmm... k. I'll definitely test it.
nukeguard  [author] 11 Jun, 2018 @ 7:33am 
I have an update, but handitems are a PITA to get to hold right with animations. It sometimes works and sometimes breaks hold position.
Hanadon 10 Jun, 2018 @ 4:58pm 
outdated, needs at least a texture update...
Maddus_ 15 Mar, 2018 @ 4:34pm 
This sure is HANDY!




Ok, go ahead and kill me.
______ 6 May, 2017 @ 5:45pm 
Make handheld laser drill
nukeguard  [author] 27 Jan, 2017 @ 3:22pm 
aha, i haven't gotten to update these yet
𝖇𝖚𝖓𝖆 27 Jan, 2017 @ 2:00pm

Shroom 26 Jun, 2016 @ 8:57pm 
@devil614 he already made literally exactly what you described. check his workshop submissions.
J0K3R6397 26 Jun, 2016 @ 7:04pm 
Any chance of turretizing this weapon, with mode switching or separated versions for push/pull?
Joseph Sneed 10 Jun, 2016 @ 5:15pm 
the hand held tractor beam has a spread for some reason i dont think its suposed to... also the model is blacked out again
nukeguard  [author] 27 May, 2016 @ 2:11am 
will check that out
