1.1 Cloaking Question

<div class="IPBDescription">Now that we'll cloak WoL</div> Just a question, because if it hasn't been raised, the dev's need to take note.

If a comm scans a cloaked structure, it'll decloak, and a siege can hit it.

<b>BUT</b>

What about if a marine 'spots' for a siege, doesn't see the WoL, will the siege still fire? Because according to HL, it <i>can</i> be seen, just the player doesn't see it.

[FACT] I needed an exscuse to post this too -> <img src='http://watmm.com/forum/html/emoticons/duel.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

    Simply depends on your wallhack and gamma settings! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Voogru has written a cloaking-structures feature and sieges dont fire cloaced structures.
    BUT there a sensory chamber does not cloak other sensory chambers, so if you see the sensory and its in siegwe range -> boom.
    Sieges without scanning or a sucessfull rush are rare.

    now FIRST WAIT for 1.1 release and THEN DISCUSS about it.

    Well, I raised it because I wanted to make sure, that if it hasn't been noticed, it gets done before release, not after. <img src='http://watmm.com/forum/html/emoticons/happy.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

    having a guess at it i would think if a wol is cloaked it would act the same a the alein cloak having to decloak to fire.

    Reven - I meant the other way around. Because the marine can 'see' the WoL, will the siege target it? Because really, it shouldn't as the marine can't report back the location of the WoL in the first place....
