Commander Bug

CaLFiN

Sorry about posting here but I have a feeling I'll get more of a response here than in the bg section.

I dunno if this has been psoted before but it's a nasty bug:

Pick up some mines as marine and make sure they are selected. Go commander and you will see your hands and the mines imposed over the top of your screen (it looks like your hands are cloaking.) Then when you go about your commanding and click the build button you plant a mine, then again until your gun is selected and you start firing. It's hard to explain, you have to go and see for yourself.

Actually here's a screenshot (if the file will attach):

Why did I name it so stupid? Hehe. Devs are probably sick of seeing "commander bug."

Silly me, hope people read it!

mines are pretty pointless anyway. so don't use them <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

once fades come, a base with tonnes of mines around it is a positive liability to the marine players. As a fade it's great to set off the mines and blow up marines with them. Especially fun is to lure them into position and then boom.

I got two marines with one blast when they mined the tram maintenance -> feedwater ladder. i avoided the mines on the way up, got off a few shots. they had hmgs so i retreated hastily and fired a parting shot up the ladder. kaboom. Two dead HMG toting marines with one shot. great move guys bet your commander loved you for that waste of resources! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

This is indeed an odd bug, I will have to give it a shot,... what you are saying is that after i pick up the mines and return to the command chair that i can place mines from the overhead view? and when they run out I can fire my gun from the overhead view... this could be a major exploit.. hey the WTF the commander has the highest score on the marines?

This is a known bug, and as far as I know, a benign one. The commander doesn't actually place the mines or shoot the gun anywhere, it just looks like he is, and takes ammo. Nothing is ever hit by any of it in my experience.
It's still odd, though O_o
