is it possible for someone to create a mod / change some LUA to make it so:

when the Fade blinks, you blink to that spot and orientation doesn't matter because you get X amount of seconds of invisibility and inabilty to move /attack all for orientation purposes, to then poof into the scene, claws attacking? it would solve that "cant catch a sprinting marine" issue by leap frogging him and orientating yourself to be facing him head on.

    I toyed with that model of Blink for a while, but came to the conclusion that it would be too slow to catch moving targets. That problem can be solved by allowing the Fade time to move freely while invisible after Blink, but that would make the Fade too difficult to kill.

    This seems more of a modding question than an idea or suggestion.

    I think the current "right click to bring up ghost" design is unintuitive. PC Gamers are used to the notion that clicking means performing an action <b>at specific location</b>, such as "move to x", or "shoot in that direction".

    I support the idea of <b>hold</b> right click to show ghost, and <b>release</b> right click to blink.

    Edit: Actually, I think ironhorse's idea could work with a minor tweak.

    I actually rather support ns1 classic blink returned since even if this new blink is added, fade's still won't be catch moving targets at all. Also not being able get into vents is other problem.

    someone in other thread said what if pushing shift would be the classic blink while the right click is the primary current blink. This way the fade can be sneaky, and catch moving targets quickly.

    it would be amazing if someone can make ns1 classic blink mod!
