Found A Really Lame Fade-in-a-vent Quirk

<div class="IPBDescription">*lamest thing yet*</div> I don't know if this is intentional or not, but we were playing on what I believe was ns_tanith, and us marines had welded a vent shut. A fade appeared on the other side of it, and proceeded to pick off everyone and everything in our entire forward base, THROUGH the vent, using acid rockets.

We tried shooting at him but our bullets couldn't get through the vent. We went point blank and our bullets still didn't hit him.

I have no idea if this is intentional or not, but I think it's pretty lame...considering he could shoot entire ROCKETS THROUGH A FENCED OFF VENT while our bullets couldn't even touch him.

anyone else notice this? it sure killed the morale on our team.

    Skulks can also go through vents. It's kind of funny actually, cuz these people were looking at me and laughing over "say". Then I got **obscenity**, ran through, killed 'em and went back through the vent and they all screamed, "Cheater!!" I never laughed so hard. Some bugs are so cool.

    Well, of course they can go through vents, but I think his point was that they had welded it shut first, and the fade could still shoot through the grate. A nasty bug indeed <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Are you sure? Was there a little gray bar across it, or did you actually run through a grate? If so, then <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If you're talking about the map with the rotating door, it's not so much of a bug as it is a map design quirk.

    When the vent outside the rotating door is welded shut, there's still a gap between the two little 'doors' that close together to block it off. Rockets, poison clouds, etc get through easily, while bullets might have a hard time getting right through the gap. Well aimed grenades still go through as well, as us aliens sadly found out once. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm not an idiot. I think I know a welded vent from one that hasn't been welded. :P

    You can only go through some, not all. Still funny to see people look at me, fire some shots, and then walk off and let me bite at their base. >:)

    No, I may have the names mixed up...this was definitely a vent, no revolving door...and he fired rockets THROUGH THE VENT.

    I dont think ANYTHING should be able to go through a vent, not a single thing. That fade shoulda died from splash damage after the first couple shots.

    No, it's a vent. It's just near a rotating door. It's the one that leads up to the place overlooking the marine start. Realy nasty place to toss bilebombs from.

    And the vent he's talking about is right outside the marine spawn, next to the heavy rotating airlock.

    Speaking of fades in vents, I just played a game on ns_caged wherein two or three fades spammed acid rockets onto the roof of the marine spawn from the vents.. we couldn't shoot them because we couldn't get a direct line of sight, but their acid rained onto our spawn area constantly, killing anyone that didn't get out of the spawn as fast as they could. Got pretty frustrating, to say the least.

    You can weld through closed vents to affect the alien on the other side too. No matter what side of the vent you're on. IE, marine had welded a vent shut. I, as skulk, came up to the vent and say'd "aww weak, i wanted to bite you". Then he came up and welded me to death through the vent. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->(
