Here's you guys' job:

If you want a dispenser, you compile the best ideas of that little discussion there into one post. You do all of the reading for me since I'm so lazy and I don't care about balancing things. Then, I'll fix my old file up to match that idea because I have a 7 day weekend this week and will be bored out of my eyesockets.

Here's the thing. I'm guessing this will obviously be a server plugin.. When the dispenser is healing you it will have a red line connected to you and the machine.. The red line should look remotely similar to the the red line that fires out of the medic's medigun. Enemies should not be able to use the dispenser. Blue team dispenser should be blue, red should be red. Dispenser's radius should be... the width of a sniper?.. the dispenser should be maybe the height of the engineer. spies can kill the dispenser same way it kills sentry. When the dispenser is destroyed it should kind of look like sentry scrap but a bit differently. Like maybe put some additional scraps in there because the dispenser is bigger than the sentry? IDK. Dispensers should cost 100 nuts'n bolts, and give 50 when destroyed like the sentry. It should have the same health as the sentry, It should heal half as fast as the medic and cut reloading time in half. The dispenser should also take the same time to build as the sentry... it should also have same health as sentry, as for the building animation... well... that's going to be hard..

That's probably exactly how it worked in Randomizer mod, we have those sprites somewhere around here.

I got randomizer mod but not a single server is compatible.. we should just take out the dispenser and make it a server plugin. I think that we should middle click to make a dispenser? I guess we could turn middle clicking into a third weapon of some sort... or maybe when you right click a window pops up that asks you if you want a sentry or a dispenser..

I have animations. I've had them for years.

when you right click a window pops up that asks you if you want a sentry or a dispenser..

In the old days, there used to be a menu that did exactly this. It's pretty much the only option at the current time, if I'm not going to add a whole new sort of PDA object to engineer or something like that. Which I don't feel like doing.

Using middle click may not be the best idea, since users with older hardware may not have this functionality...I would suggest using some other unassigned key.

Press Q to switch between placing Dispenser and Sentry. Easy.

I agree, q is a good key,

Also the dispenser should be able to heal multiple people..

Also the dispenser should be able to heal multiple people..

How about one person at a time? because it will not be fair for the other team.

How would the dispenser know who to heal? the person that gets there first? Once a person is fully healed it goes on to the next person? I dunno.

var dispenserBaseEfficiency = 1.00;
var dispenserEfficiency;
var dispenserUsers = 0;

//code that polls how many users there are

dispenserEfficiency = dispenserBaseEfficiency - (dispenserUsers * 0.66);

by the way, i think a dispenser is a good addition to the game. engie is a bit underplayed at the moment so this is a good idea

edit: dispenserEfficiency is the amount of healing per 0.1 second per user at a time.
edit2: yes i'm aware this is javascript not gml but javascript is my most adept language

Well engie is a bit underpowered right now... all he does is just plop down as spy check for spies trying to stab a sentry.

Another thing about randomizer, NOBODY IS EVER ON. Just make this like a server plugin or make randomizer a part of the game. Not saying I don't like randomizer, its a great idea and its amazing but the popularity is..  So if we can just take the dispenser and make it a make it a server plugin then we all good.
