Question For Flayra: "hackermode"

Grimm_Spector

<div class="IPBDescription">You know that comm ability?</div> I was wondering if the comm would be able to use that hackermode in 1.1 finally flayra? You know the ability to trigger doors and other entities for marines?

hmmm interesting. be kinda freaky being a marine and a door just opens infront of you.

You already can. Try loading up any map and clicking on the elevator or door itself. It usually works for me. Unless things have changed, of course...

figjam

That already exists dude, just the person designing the map has to specifically allow the commander to push the button/open the door and it doesn't seem many people have.

If you notice in the trailer it happens, it's a strategy thing.

It does work, but only on a few of the doors, and it's not reliable from server to server, I've tried it often myself...it may depend on what type of entity the door is?

EDIT: Quote came out funny...

sorry for the double post but...

the map cannot be designed to work or not work that way, ALL entities that can be triggered by +use can be triggered by a commander as of 1.0 and up to 1.04 because the entities haven't changed since 1.0. It's how they function in NS, you can't disable it for just comm's or just marines, or whatever, all players can trigger entities the same, the problem they have is getting the click to run through and +use the right entity, it seems to often be null...

Some entities are twitchy. But yes, in theory the comm can operate any door, lift, button, etc. The only exceptions are those that involve a trigger_presence, to require a marine/alien standing in front of it before it will open.

Good to know, hopefully the "twitchiness" will be worked out in 1.1 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
