Was there a chest throw weapon?

[SWAT Shogun]

I vividly remember seeing a chest throw weapon in the uc when it was in the beta / released.

My main question is,why was it removed?

I didn’t see that when they were testing out custom units maybe it was too buggy and didn’t work as intended

There are some custom units in the workshop which uses this,It basically opens up and bits of gold and jewel particles and then a couple of units from the pirate faction including secret units would spawn in and fight.I noticed it when the uc was in beta.

Yeah it used to be a thing around when present elf came out, it acted like a present that they threw but only spawned pirate units. I don't know why they got rid of it.

The chest was able to spawn more than one pirate unit,It would have lagged the game out if used in big numbers.Same reason why the present elf's projectile was removed.If the fire rate was high it would have been op.

important note,you can still use presents through units that already have presents

The weapon exists but the projectile itself is not available when switching projectiles on another ranged.

no i mean if a unit has presents overiding their weapon, it will carry over to new weapons, so if you edit that unit it can be made into any present unit

Im pretty sure that doesnt work, I've tried and tried to use the projectile for other weapons by doing that but it doesn't work, so sorry bud :/

yes it does, but you might have misunderstood me

if a unit had a present as a projectile override on a weapon that wasnt the present, such as putting a present for a minigun before present was removed, then that unit wil still have present as its projectile unless changed, because edited projectiles carry over when the unit gets a different gun

in simpler terms, if a unit has a present projectile for a minigun, only removing the minigun and swapping it for a p90 will still have present
