This is a visual enhancement for when a unit gets attacked and killed by a Pancake Crusader. The results are quite devastating:



This will be a bit of a tedious process, as I have to do it for every single unit in the game, but well worth it in the end. Here's a screenshot of the effect in-game:



Also, this means I can make other weapons which completely flatten units. I could have a demo trap replacement, which consists of a piano hanging from the sky, and when enemies come near it, it drops, crushing them. Or a giant 1 ton weight or other heavy object could fall from the sky.

[Sgt. Nuker]

Talk about bringing down the hammer....err.....frying pan

[Pav:3d]

You need an epic splat/squashed bottle sound when they get flattened btw

[BeefJeRKy]

A cartoon frying pan sound would be better

[Ion Cannon!]

^ This

The Thwomp idea is also a grand one (the original sound fx would of course be required), but it might impose on copyrights, which is a bugger. That notwithstanding, it's still a great idea.

I'm sure the units engaging the tank will be flattered.

Awww, how adorable! ms. pancake tank is having a crush on mr. battlemaster tank! Now she's hugging mr. battlemaster down to the ground with her pan! Mr. battlemaster is flattered!

More like Ms. Pancake Tank has caught Mr. Battlemaster sneaking into the house early in the morning smelling like alchohol

There would be no questioning, just the klang of the pan against Mr. BM's head...turret. The question(s) would follow upon Mr. BM waking.

[Kris]

If he wakes up

[Brad]

Epic idea!
It looks awesome

[Jazzie Spurs]

Pan-tastic.
