Just A Weird Glitch

<div class="IPBDescription">skulk mine kills</div> I was running along in our hive as a skulk, and I got 3 mine kills. It was weird, so i thought i'd post the screenie up here.<img src='http://community.webshots.com/sym/image3/5/0/1/73950001HFLPnR_fs.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

Image didnt come through.

It is very possible to get mine kills as an alien though. When you trigger a mine it will count as you firing it when calculating kills and such.

Maybe you tripped a far off laser which caused a chain reaction explosion near a couple of marines?

I guess my site just doesnt load images properly. So whatever. The best I can guess is that I had been gorge previously, and some complete freaking retard placed mines right in front of one of my OCs.

All it was was a picture of my name next to three mine pictures with skulk teeth anyway.

Or, if you set off a mine, and the mine layer is nearby, he can be damaged by it.

As a cara skulk lives through one mine, this can lead to comedy moments where the 'rine is killed, and the skulk is left wondering where lunch went... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Level 3 weapon upgrade makes mines kill carp skull in one <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Level 3 weap upgrades meant you gave them at least 165 rez to spend on them, and deserved to have your organs removed.

I dont know if it was the server I was on, but I was able to trigger mines as a skulk and not get hurt if I did a certain trick.
Other ones still blew me to pieces.
I somehow inched up to it, while jiggles forward and back and I set it off and took no damage. It worked a couple times.
My bro was yelling at me because a few mins earlier he asked if skulks could diffuse mines without taking damage and I told him no.

ya i noticed this too, also looking up + walking over them helps, its these hit box issues again isn't it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

165 res just for lvl 3 mines. Sounds like something a friend of mine would do. *ahem TAK* Except he would rely on random placement rather than strategically placing those lvl 3 mines.

rennex

There's a bug that makes it possible to run through across a carpet of mines, setting them all off, and take no damage.

And gorge spit sets off mines, so I assume OT's can set them off if they get a lucky shot at a crouchin 'rine.

DiscoDuck

Yes ot can set off mines had it happen once forget when and were but it hurt.

ViPr

as a fade i walked through a narrow hallway full of laser mines and floor mines coz i was so used to doing that as a marine and i set them all off and received no damage. i already reported this bug in the bug section a very long time ago.
