Does anyone know how to make the ion painter work?
My primary fire shoots the laser and my secondary fire brings up the scope and my keyboard is set to a key for the painter also but nothing ever happens!
What do i need to do?
Ion painter?
First of all, wrong forum - this is for the Chaos mod for Quake 2 =)
To get the ion painter to work, simple aim the laser at a spot for ~2 seconds - the beam will thicken, then the ion beam will come down from a cannon in the sky. You can only use it in suitable locations - where nothing is blocking the ion cannon from shooting at the location.
edit: lol pepito ;)

First off , this is in the wrong Forum., secondly , to fire the ion painter , there must first be an ion cannon sattelite in the map. Secondly , shoot the laser at a point on the ground that has line of sight with the Ion cannon sattelite. Hold it on that spot , and you will get a big purple surprise
Re: ion
Just about any map with an ion painter will have an ion cannon. I only know of one exception, CTF-CBP-Ferris.amongoeth wrote:i know its the wrong forum but thanks for the help,but how do i know which maps have an ion cannon in the sky?,,,and can you actually see the canon?
You can see the cannon in the sky usually, if you look closely.
settings?
Is the ion painter considered a super weapon?
And is there a setting that i have to activate to allow a superweapon?
I played the ut2003 inferno map and another and did not see the canon in the sky nor did the ion painter work for me.

Re: settings?
The Ion Painter/Cannon is a superweapon - no settings to de/activate them, although there's a No Superweapons mutator.amongoeth wrote:Is the ion painter considered a super weapon?

I don't think there's an Ion Cannon in Inferno? How are you getting it? Also, remember that even if there is an Ion Cnanon in a map, it cannot shoot at all places, needs line of sight.
Can't remember what maps have an Ion Cannon, but DM-Phobos2, DOM-Suntemple and DOM-Seppuku all should.

ion
were you using Arena or loaded? If you were and the Ion Painter is not normally in the level it will not work properly, so next time that happens check you settings. and don't use it it is a waste of time although it is funny to have a totally useless weap for the entire match if everyone else is stuck like that with you. Can you say Kick everybody in the shins? USe ChaosUTs feature to surprise everybody and win the match w/o getting hurt.
