Freeze Ray Plus

A new ability for Bopl Battle: the Freeze ray. Aim and shoot it like the grow and shrink rays. Whatever it hits turns to ice.

Made by Poyraz Acarbaş, a modder from Turkey.

Freezing players

• A player hit by the ray is frozen in a block of ice for 6 seconds.
• Mash jump to break out sooner. Every press cracks the ice a little more than the last one.
• A frozen player can be pushed around and slides like a block of ice.
• Cooldown: 4 seconds.

Freezing things

• Bombs, mines, missiles, arrows freeze in mid-air as harmless blocks of ice. Push them and they slide. Frozen explosives don't explode and only melt from heat. A frozen missile loses its flame and drops when it thaws.
• Spikes turn into permanent icicles. You can walk on them, but landing on the tip from the air kills. The muscle man can rip one off and throw it with his rock. Heat knocks the icicle loose and it shatters.
• Black holes freeze into an ice cube you can stand on. Don't stay on it when it melts.
• White holes become an ice trampoline that launches you high.
• Smoke bombs turn blue, and their smoke becomes a snow cloud that slows down everyone inside.
• Tesla electricity freezes into a harmless, super slippery ice bridge for a few seconds.
• Teleport portals still work when frozen, but everything that comes through arrives frozen.
• Revive flags: if a frozen flag revives you, you come back inside a block of ice.
• Grappling hook: hook onto a frozen object and it becomes a solid anchor.

Platforms and water

• Each hit makes a platform icier and more slippery (3 levels). One more hit shatters it, and it comes back after 8 seconds. The ice melts away if nobody shoots it again.
• Moving platforms slow down as they freeze, and stop completely at the iciest level.
• On ice maps, platforms crack and collapse on the first hit, then freeze back.
• Shooting water freezes a thin sheet of ice on the surface that you can walk on (it cracks before it breaks).
• Drills dig slower through icy platforms. Rocks the muscle man tears out of ice are ice rocks.

Rays and BEAMs

• Grow, shrink, clone and quantum rays bounce off ice and get stronger with every layer of ice (x1.5, x1.8, ...). A ray can bounce up to 3 times, even back into whoever fired it.
• BEAMs bounce off ice too and come out thicker, but their heat melts the ice.
• Freeze a firing BEAM (its owner or the beam itself) and the owner is frozen for 2.5 seconds while the beam turns into a walkable ice bridge. When it thaws, the BEAM keeps firing if the button is still held.
• Freeze someone charging a BEAM and the ice melts in 2 seconds, then a giant BEAM bursts out.

Heat

Rocket engine fire, BEAMs, flying missiles, meteors and explosions melt ice near them.

Online play

All of the mod's game logic runs inside the game's own simulation, so it stays in sync online. Everyone in the lobby should have the same version of the mod installed.

Notes

• This is a different mod from Amir_Nilf's FreezeRay. Using both at the same time has not been tested.
• The ability icon can be replaced: put your own FreezeRay.png (340 x 292 works best) into the mod's icons folder.
