New Lerk Ability

Nuketheplace · May 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">a quick question</div> We all know that the new lerk ability to perch will be available in 1.1 What I want to know is how will this ability be implemented. If you can only hang from ceilings and the ability is activated when ever you touch one this could get quite annoying, but it it's activated by a button than your wasting valuable key space for something that you might never use in a game. Are these our only options or will there be a third thing that I have yet to think of be used instead? Thanks for answering my question now if you will excuse me

probably use a key like crouch which isn't being used for anything now

If i remeber correctly, perch will NOT be in 1.1... Something about they did it once but took it out in one of the early BETA stages... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Too bad, i was actually looking foward to it.... Atleast they are going to be easier to fly.

Perching isn't planned for 1.1. Use search, one of the devs posted about this in an earlier thread.
If I can find it, I'll edit and put it up here with a quote.

Pleeeeease don't ask a question about a feature which has not been mentioned in the official patch logs AND denied by the devs.

I think you are missing the key question though...one that has vast and far-reaching and generally universal implications/ramifications.... and that is..

<b> will the lerk be able to perch on a marine's shoulder and yell "arg" !!!! thus inducing a fatal fear-initiated heart-attack </b> !! ??

Critical is correct - perching is not currently planned for 1.1. If it makes it in, it will be because Flayra & Max somewhere found a spare second to code it.

No no, you got it wrong. The lerks will have the ability to perch on a marine's shoulder and shout phrases such as 'Polly wanna pistol!" & "Ration my resources!". Marines will be able to take advantage of this as well, becoming the "pirate class", with new weapons such as the cutlass, flintlock pistol and cannon! Half the screen will be blacked out to accomidate for the eyepatch. The commands will obviously change as well, with "Avast ye dogs!" for "move to waypoint", "Arr fire a broadside!" for "attack target" and "Build ye scurvy curs!" for "build structure". Health packs will be dropped as rum bottles, and resource towers will instead by treasure chests. Players who hump the armoury will be punished by the new marine structure "pool with sharks", where the commander can pick up a marine and force him into the pool, saying of course "Now ye walk the plank ye black-hearted feind!" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

crouch is used to stop sticking to the wall as skulk, (so u can slide down it keeping your veiw at the same position (either that or its a bug))

it would also be crap holding crouch all the time anyway
