I was just wondering within the realms of possibility and I thought...

How about a healing gun?

I have two suggestions for how it might work:

1.Works like the health/ammo dispenser but doesn't drop in an arc so it can be fired over a distance, it would also have a different model than the health kit... I guess?
It would fire one shot at a time, like a sniper launcher... with a lot less ammo.

2.Other-wise is there a way of in-cooperating the healing abilities of the Medical Droid into a weapon; it would appear like the beam-cannon?

This would amount to an improved "Medic Unit" replacing Pilots on maps where there are no vehicles.

Dang, Unit. You've got some good ideas! That sounds cool, I have always found the defalt medical dispensers hard to use when you have a teammate trapped somewhere with low health. You almost always have to risk your death (they wouldn't get health/ammo anyways) just to get them a medpack. I've found even "medpack" throwing (similar to mine throwing) is limited.

Ah! I remember a long time ago I successfully made a healing gun. I believe all I did was take a normal gun's damage values and change them to negative. At least, that's what I think I did. It's been such a long time I could be horribly wrong.

Hope I did some help!

[Shazam]

That sounds like it would heal the opposing team's units, as well. That would be cool, but I think Unit was talking about shooting medpacks of some sort. I could be wrong.

[Unit 33]

As long as the effect works, well that's fine and dandy.

The only issue with negative damage is that it would have no affect on teammates with TK off.

[Breakdown]

I'm pretty sure that's what I did, not sure about it's effect on enemies though. I looked into the fusion cutter ODF if I recall correctly. Just take a look at the fusion cutter and you can probably copy it to affect players.

Healing enemies could be an issue, but I thought there were parameters that could fix that.

Sorry for speaking hypothetically this entire time, it's been a long time since I looked at an ODF.

[Snake]

I will test out abunch of theories, including BD's and let you know which one works.

[Unit 33]

Yes please do, since I am inept at hex editing.

I could, however make a new gun skin for it.

[Sereja]

Of course it works, in my released sides mod, ewok can cure rebels, and the droids can repair each ather. All you have to do it is edit fusion cutter .odf.

[Snake]

Well the negative damage on guns just makes them useless, it doesnt add health. I tried just making the health dispenser shoot far and that worked pretty good. I think the fusion cutter would be the best.
