<div class="IPBDescription">Read above</div> Now i've been wondering this for a while.
Does anybody know that when you standing completely still but you move your view does that make you pick up on their motion tracking?
I think that's so unfair that you can't even look around if that's true <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

If you are above the marine; moving your screen (even standing still) <b>will</b> make you show up on MT.
Known bug.
You are not alone, I am here with you.

it's <b>motion</b> tracking, it tracks motion. it makes sense. If you stand still, you aren't moving, no motion = no tracking. if you move, you show up. motion = tracking, MOTION TRACKING.
OMG WHAT A CONCEPT.
MT doesn't eliminate ambusing -- don't move and you get to ambush!!!!11111 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
wow, learning the game and using your knowledge to your advantage? AMAZING.
Mt does make 1 hive skulks half useless...but!
Not saying more.
In beta 6 units with the cloak upgrade will only be 30% visable at all times except when attacking (even while running at full speed) but will still show up on motion tracking unless they are under 10% visability, which only occurs in the range of sensory chambers, or while walking cloaked. Fast turns will no longer uncloak you so fast while walking however, so cloaked walking skulks can walk at full speed with no fear of being either motion tracked or seen.
For referance, all fully cloaked units are currently 5% visable; meaning they are nearly impossible to recognize if they are standing still, but still possible to see by a sharp eye if they move at any reasonable speed.

hmm only when i'm directly above? in other cases i can wiggle like crazy and won't register on MT ??
and about walking speed... is MT activated at certain speed in general, or each class has it's individual max speed to stay unregistered?
let's assume for a second that skulk walking speed = gorge running speed. then if i run as a gorge i'll get tracked, even though moving at the same speed as walking skulk i won't, right?
and what if i walk with celerity?
no.

/me confused...
i just checked with my friend - he claims he could see me walking on MT with cele skulk. or is it misunderstanding - we used say command, not teamspeak? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> (i was walking in a straight line, no turning and strafing)
we also tried this 'wiggling directly above rine' bug but i seemed to stay undetected.
well.. see my previous post
And by being above the marine with MT I assume he meant being higher on the Y-axis or whichever axis it is, not being straight above him...
Yes, because you know... CS has guns, NS has guns.. I can see the inspiration right there.
it's <b>motion</b> tracking, it tracks motion. it makes sense. If you stand still, you aren't moving, no motion = no tracking. if you move, you show up. motion = tracking, MOTION TRACKING.

Not to make u look like a jackass, but you have to move to get into an ambush position, Unless you decide to spawn into your ambush spot :/
The Simple Rule as someone stated earlier. When you move in a direction. IE: <u>NOT</u> stationary.
You show up on MT.
<u>MT Negates when:</u>
You are looking directly at the skulk/alien lifeform cloaked or not.
<u>MT <b>DOESN NOT</b> Negate when:</u>
You walk.
You cloak.
You Cloak, walk.
And I can say this with 100% truth as I've had this debate with a friend and we tested it out and I was discovered to be wrong about walking and being in cloak meaning that you did not show up on MT.
The only problem with that is that the aliens would instantly know if marines had motion tracking, and could change their play style accordingly.
it's <b>motion</b> tracking, it tracks motion. it makes sense. If you stand still, you aren't moving, no motion = no tracking. if you move, you show up. motion = tracking, MOTION TRACKING.
