Tipme Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 ok i hate it when i get killed by someone and they're all like "i got shields biatch ricebowl muwahahaha" so..when people have shields , just a suggestion , they're should be some blue shield-like thing around the ship , maybe like protoss in SC , i've talked about it with some people and they say yea it should happen becuz why? we hate getting killed by people with shields and also not jsut to know they have shields but it would LOOK cool too i mean when u get shields u get a blue light around the ship....awesome
Excel Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 I'd rather not have that. Although I don't play in zones that use shields, it'd make the game less interesting. Just think about it for a minute. If that was you with the sheilds, wouldn't you want no one to know about it, so that you could get a quick easy kill? But that's just my opinion.
Evil Jin Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 But still if you have shields you it should be harder for you to kill since you have temporRY protection. the blue thing would be cool
Tipme Posted August 20, 2003 Author Report Posted August 20, 2003 doesnt matter i tell people when i have shields anyway so i can see the idiots that still pick a fight with me
»SOS Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 All the cool ideas are in the "waiting for a programmer to take over Continuum from LazyK" list.
Spray 'n Prey Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 I AM A CANADIAN BAD -*BAD WORD*-,WATCH ME NOWRice,you play at 17th,Home of the no one is safe stuff.
ExplodyThingy Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 lmao, PriiK has it, and SOS called him LazyK, he was calling Priit lazy.Geeze.Sheesh. Share with Ekted the source, i wanna see what he has in store.
Evil Jin Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 oooh lol i thought that was an actual player
»CypherJF Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Probably wont happen, it'd require more work than what seems to being put into it, but still a good idea... or sometype of notification... - Cyp
Tipme Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Posted August 21, 2003 i remember when i talked about this with ckty he said he said that he could possibly do it...sometihng about OBJONS(whatever that is) whenever someone gets shields to be put around the ship so...is it really that hard? if a 14 yr. old could POSSIBLY do it? but ckty isnt playing this anymore
»SOS Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 It's not possible like that, no.Unless you mean so only the player sees it. Easy then. But nobody else could see it.

Yupa Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 possible, but not necessarily practical it would be easy to have just the player with the shield see it, yes, but to have everyone else see it, you would have to track that player's position and constantly update the position of the shield image just to have the one player see it, you could put it in a .lvz and have the bot turn it on when the player gets a shield...but that would be a fixed coordinate, right over the player to update the position (or accomplish by other means) would take a lot
madhaha Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 What would be much simpler would be a message from a bot saying: "%tickname as shield! Run for your lives!" Same effect
Mr Ekted Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 Continuum currently supports screen objects and map objects. Screen objects are positioned at absolute coordinates, like top left or bottom right or center. Map objects are at fixed locations relative to the map itself, so they move on your screen as your view changes. What you uare talking about is ship-specific objects. These would be displayed relative to a given ship's location on the screen. I have suggested this. Priit has thought of it also, and liked the idea, but he said it would be handled different from the others. It is currently still in the official Continuum suggestion box.
»SOS Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 The way you said that, people might get the wrong idea that PriitK is going to add something to Continuum, Ekted
»CypherJF Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 The way you said that, people might get the wrong idea that PriitK is going to add something to Continuum, Ekted Agreed. haha... That'll be the day methinks... -- cyp
Paxil Posted August 23, 2003 Report Posted August 23, 2003 Add this to the official continuum suggestion box : An option to let ships start with prox or not (choice for each ship). That would be great.
