    I wonder how they did that.

    It's pretty neat actually, I might have to try and figure it out.

    Kill delay is built into the game, it was put there by Flayra a while ago.

    There was a bug in 1.04 where if you tried to select a building but it selected another one close to it (eg. eclipse hive bug) you could upgrade the functions of the building that <i>looks</i> selected on the one you actually selected...

    It sometimes does that when buildings are too close to eachother too.. because the TF and the obs were so close together the comm must of <i>actually</i> clicked the <i>obs</i> but it came up with the TF upgrades.... so when he upgraded electricity the obs became electrified.. hope that makes sense.

    I could be completely wrong though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It seems to happen in densely crowded bases. If there's an electrified tf or node nearby, that could cause the anomaly. Though unintended, it would be helpful rine-wise.

    Err...

    I know how to do it, I can't believe we didn't catch it. Report it in the bugs forum.

    man, i would just like to see a electrified hive, oh man i wouldnt stop laughing if marines got randomly killed or aliens cus its electrified when they went near it hahaha! im laughing just thinking about it

    btw, whever an onos comes stormnig into a base i usually type kill and wait the 3 seconds if i knew he saw me and is ready for sum food, in ralphys i tried it on ralphy who was being cheap with godmode as onos sitting in our base eating us all, i had to wait 12.4 seconds for the suicide, boy i got scared when i saw him trying to eat me and i had to dodge him for 12.4 seconds i think it was the NSadmin based? what else is new on NSADMIN? in 2.0?

    Well I did originally think the tfac eletrifys EVERYTHING in its radius (which would be really awesome if it did), so I wasnt as suprised when I saw it.

    Does it still costs res or is it free? Cause if it costs it wouldn´t be very intelligent to waste res to electrify all the turrets.

    You could make a circle around the door to the room and elec all of the turrets, someone walks into the room and BOOM, they get shot and a burst of Electiricity hits them from each turret.
    SUPER TURRETS!

    hmm... with this any building that the commander can select can be electrified.

    and I know why.

    time for bug fix.

    What if we don't call it a bug but add the electrifying upgrade to other buildings aswell and call it a feature

    I guess I don't see the big deal. It still costs you 30 res. Woopity doo! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Though I guess an electrified command chair WOULD probably drag the game out unneccessarily. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
