Brought Back From Death.

CplDavis

<div class="IPBDescription">A glitch that saved my non life</div> In that map with the messhall and the port generator hive ( I just forgot the name) i was flying along as a Lerk.

We had 3 hives and were attacking the marine base. I had upgraded to regeneration, aldrenaline and thats it. I did not have redemption.

As I rounded a corner I ran right into a Marine with an HMG. He blasted me and I fell over on my side like I was dead. The marine moved on. I sat there waiting to respawn. Then I noticed that nothing happened. I was not in spectator mode. I was still looking sideways on the ground from when I died. I thought maybe there was lag and I had frozen. I moved the mouse and I could still turn and look around. To everyone else I was lying on my side dead. I presed my up arrow and I could MOVE! I could slide around on my side. I looked at my health.

I had 0 health and 2 Armor. But I was not regenerationg it back.
So I was alive with no health. I simply slid my way back to a defense tower and regained my health and I stood up and was back in the game, all the while thanking the Kharaa god for his great reincarnation miricle lol.

Was this a glitch or what? Has anyone else expirienced this before?

Crap nevermind people I just saw another post for the same thing. I guess its a hl engin bug I never expirienced for myself.

I had something similar happen to me... I was a skulk and it LOOKED like a died, but 2 seconds later i was alive and on the other side of the room <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

Heh, it's a pretty amusing and harmless bug in NS at least. I can envision a wounded lerk oozing back to get healed up. Limp, slide, ooze <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I wonder if the same can happen for a marine ...?

I've had it happen to me as a lerk many times. I think it happens if a structure heals you inbetween dying and hitting the floor, or at least that's what it feels like.

Happens to me alot when I have regeneration. I think it's caused when you regen and the marine kills you at the exact same time.

I've had this happen alot as a lerk with regen actually, frommy experience it seems to be also slightly something to do with fps and slight lag issues ~ ie the server reading your regeneration "command" after youve died *before* it recieves teh death command and when it finds the death command it discovers you have health and goes "WTH hes not dead" and pop your back to life.

Although In my experiences I don't need buildings to regen I do it myself...

You use the arrow keys?!

The reason this happens is because of how Half Life determines health. To die, you must reach -1 or less health. If you hit precisely 0, your screen tilts, but you aren't 'dead.' This is a known issue, and appears in multiple modifications.

The 'regen bug' is when the aforementioned issue crops up, and the regeneration heals your body soon after, thus appearing that you have been brought back from the dead.

Thats happened to me as a lerk, I died, fell, and then got resurrected by the Kharaa god.

Gotta love that Kharaa god <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I hate this bug. Generally when I play I have a drink and some chips beside me, which I take advantage of any time I die. So as soon as the screen flips sideways my hands leave the mouse and keyboard. And for some reason the Marines always shoot me a couple more times after I flip over just to make sure, so I don't get a chance to put my hands back. :G

Heh. I've seen the bug twice, once as a skulk, once as a lerk, since I started playing NS. It would be kinda neat if Redemption/Regeneration (not sure which one would make more sense) had a small chance to do this when you 'died'.
