Smoke Field

[op2rules]

What about a smoke field, that lasts only a few seconds but you can't see anything under it? Could be neat for some rush tactics etc

 

Or imagine you have a small one that you can use in center or something, and you place it and then warp away, its like sneaky ninja smoke tactics!

or a cousin of the smoke grenade:

the decoy bomb

There's already too much field spamming, get skill.

Just ignore weeps, he likes to troll on forum with his bold font. He doesn't have much skill to begin with. Hes pretty good at team killing though.

Mm I agree with corey but I'd kindly ask you keep backtalk out of my topics as much as possible, I want my topics (threads) to reflect the title.

 

Yes I am also well aware the idea has probably been spoken of, but I'm not going to search for this idea, maybe find it, and see things that people have to say about it that is almost irrelevant. The players would most likely not even be playing the zone anymore, and even if they were, 3 years is way more than enough time to change your mind.

id like you to not make new threads for something you can post in another thread

id also like you to make dev threads in the dev forum

 

notice how i wasnt an asshole about it before though

I wouldn't mind seeing a field the size of Chaos Field being a completely black, or smokey, square of death and uncertainty.

However, Radar takes away from the element entirely.

Amazingly enough you can stick graphics over the radar too.

Amazingly enough that is not one of the built-in capabilities of hs_fields

Maybe a Chaff Grenade (or other deployable, could be grouped in fields) that blacks out all enemies' radar for a few seconds? I mean as an entirely separate idea from the Smoke Field.

 

Hmm, wasn't there a problem with these types of items, though? Couldn't these graphics be disabled client-side, or something?

[Cheese]

no, especially since asss hasnt figured out how optional lvz works yet

[Dr Brain]

That bug was closed, last I checked. But even if it wasn't, an optional LVZ for an essential gameplay element is stupid.

[Cheese]

indeed it is

 

 

so that means optional lvz works now? =O

also, why didnt it work before you fixed it?

Because it was broken? What do you mean? The bug would only show up if the optional lvzs weren't placed last in the list.

[Kilo]

The code attempted to be clever with its loop/counting, and it failed. See the changeset for details.

I like the idea of an emitter that jams radar.

[Samapico]

Jamming the radar, you say?
