For everyone looking for 1.5, this mod's functionality are present in Superhero Genes - Base, which someone has posted a link to below.

1.5?

I don't recall my laser eyes code causing issues when i was doing the superhero genes update, so this one is probably safe as well.

That other mod adds a lot of stuff I just want lazer eyes

1.5?

Thanks!

Nice job

I redrew it from a concept :P

Did you drew the thumbnail or is it made with an effect from a software ?

You should ask Tynan that.

Why not ranged damage? Seems hard to hit a moving enemy.

Probably but it's probably gonna involve c#

Any way to increase the damage dealt?

Probably but it won't be us.
The c# Code is already weird as it is

is it possible to make this auto-castable? also can i edit the damage in the xml file to make it OP?

Though that should be easily dooable with just a simple XML tweak

I love the mod, been waiting for something like this. Funny yes it seems OP and too weak. I honesty think it would be cool if i can laser limbs off.

Made a Superhuman xenotype with this, gave it to the Empire, and lost the colony after the second raid. 10/10

I don't know if it's too much, balance isn't exactly the intention here. It's a power fantasy inspired by The Boys.

Ugh, ignoring armor is way too much. Maybe it's a CE thing... But then CE from what I know didn't really mess with lasers and this mod uses the same beam as mechs, so if mech lasers work so should the eye lasers. I'll probably comment if I get to use it on people, but maybe this needs CE patch anyways because while technically it works the range is too short and could be brought up to CE terms. Should be a single line in xml probably, maybe I'll even do it myself once I get some time.

It might be a problem with armor penetration. People using Yayo's Combat or other mods that change how it works seems to mean that the laser eyes can barely penetrate power armor. My suggestion is to just give it 100% penetration so that it can't be deflected with armor. The damage could stay the same, though I think it'd be better to have it force dismember or something.

Well, maybe it's op and too weak at the same time depending on "category" you look at. I also experienced low damage, but I only tested it on mechs, so thought it's because they're fireproof and whatnot. But if it's weak against people it could use a damage buff while getting some cooldown time.

Well some here claim it's op and some say it's too weak.

To be honest it kind of sucks damage wise, usually I have better results just going in with melee

Isn't it too op then? No ammo, no side effects, just free attack over and over again. Maybe it should burn eyes out if used too often, working similarly to neutral heobut with different consequences?

Let's say yes
*cough*
I think the description was made before the coding.

I noticed the description states 1 hour cooldown, but in reality there's no cooldown? Is this intentional?

@black onix you don’t get to start with those abilities, and you take very large risks and amounts of time to get random abilities and massive penalties. I wouldn’t equate the two.
@sovereign
Sure it’s balanced. In that if you fuck it up or piss off the RNG you either get a dead pawn or an even more deranged doomguy with no sense of friendly fire

"balanced" is subjective.
The mod you are talking about also adds a lot more besides just eyelayers and take a completely different approach than this one here.

No offense to the author but IMHO in mod "Vanilla Factions Expanded - Ancients" it's more balanced (eye shooting, obtaining this super power, etc.).
Plasteel claws, plasteel skeleton, limb regeneration, resurrection and eye laser

it does not.

Does the beam attack scale with shooting? I've noticed it kind of misses a lot in my tests

I agree that the sweep is cool and it doesn't need a buff or projectiles, i like it as is.
The free beam damage with no cooldown is already powerful on its own, catching them on fire from long range too is devastating.
Very cool mod

Autocast?

Most known superhero genes actually are.

@Humanitarian Bombings
That would actually be remarkably easy to make.

Amazing now I need a wolverine claws gene

There's only one way to find out but hell it ain't gonna be me

Super hero genes are a pretty fun idea.
I'll also keep in mind the different colours.

Thanks, I just wasn't sure because laser is a weapon, after all, and CE sometimes can have weird interactions with other stuff.

CE compatible?

you should make powers like invisibility or flight that would be sick

@Sovereign Hi. I really like your mod and its similar to what i wanna do, but instead of genes, its an utility apparel. I dont know if its possible or not. But I would like to request your permission to try and use your code in my mod. Thanks.

Very low damage

don't listen to them Sovereign. The thumbnail pic made me click out of curiousity, but I would not have subscibed if it wasnt for the fact that it beautifully sweeps across the field like the crowd scene

@Sovereign

Nah, you don't need to make simple projectiles. Messing with your laser's XML settings was enough to give it a direct-ish target while also still managing to look like it's adjusting for head movement and slight sweeping with eyes.

I just want a red laser lol. Ooh, and a yellow/gold one.

URGH
I'm making stupid xcom aliens right now.
So you guys want simple projectiles as well?
seems kinda boring to me

@Sovereign
Color red?

"I can do.. whatever.. the FUCK I want!!"
