How To Play
POWERS takes away your W'rkncacnter-given right to bear arms in
Marathon. In return, you gain two very specific POWERS. You
can toggle between them by using the action key. Your POWERS
exist in single-player mode, as well as in any multiplayer in
which you choose to excercise them. If using them in the latter
category, be sure to try co-operative mode with some friends.
- Pickup (starting mode)

- While looking at a monster (or player), you
may use
the primary trigger to pick that monster up. As long as you
hold the trigger, the monster will move to the position where
you happen to look.

- While picking up a monster, you may press the
key that
normally cycles to the previous weapon in order to move
that monster a small distance towards you.

- While picking up a monster, you may press the
key that
normally cycles to the next weapon in order to move
that monster a small distance away from you.

- While picking up a monster, you may hold the
secondary
trigger in order to move that monster rapidly towards you
or away from you, depending on the direction in which
you last moved the monster.
- Attachment

- You may choose a surface (or monster, or scenery
object, or landscape)
to attach to in this mode by using the secondary
trigger.

- You may pull yourself towards the attached surface by
using the primary trigger.

Hosting
If you choose to use POWERS in a multiplayer environment,
I strongly recommend that you host a co-operative game.
You'll find new ways to beat levels, and you'll have fun
working together to do so.
-
Place the Lua script (a file called
POWERS v3.0.1.lua)
somewhere you can easily access from

Use Netscript box, then choose

Unlimited. Then you can play
as long as you like.
