2022' April Fools Day' Special: Shovel Launcher for Smod40

SHOVEL LAUNCHER
BOTTOM TEXT

So basically, this is RPG-7 that fires a rocket-propelled shovel. It's quite effective.

Originally, there was an Insurgency mod that replaced RPG-7 with its shovel firing variant, made by 繁华梦境(the link to mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.... It was then ported to Gmod by someone, but apparently it was removed. So this is essentially port of that, only instead of trying to port the Insurgency model itself(with rig and all) to HL2, I took TFA' RPG-7 Gmod port, switched the rocket model with shovel from INS addon and ported it to Smod. It was easier this way :)

I tried to make custom projectile, but it didn't look very good, so I just replaced HL2 RPG missile with shovel. Yes, that means regular rocket launcher now too fires shovels :)

I also did a little animation trick, thanks to which you won't see warhead- I mean, shovel magically reappearing on RPG just after you fired it and holster - instead, it will appropriately play reloading animation the moment you equip RPG. This trick however led to two interesting issue - first, you can shoot the shovel the moment you equip this marvel of engineering, which in turn leads to second issue: you can accidentaly blow yourself up when trying to throw picked objects. So my advice on that: don't do that ;)

Anyway, hope you will like this gun :) Happy April Fools :D
