Dc Chamber Question

Do DC's heal in a sphere or in a 2d circle that goes up and down throughout the entire map? Confused? I guess what I'm asking is if you bulit a DC a mile directly below a hive, would it still heal the hive?

    I'd imagine that it's a sphere, although it's sometimes tough to tell since there's no level-over-level in NS maps.

    I'm pretty sure it heals in a sphere (although it may not be perfectly speherical). As evidence, I've built d chambers on the buttom of the ladders in maintenance hive (on NS Eclipse) and it healed the fades up on the top level. I'm not sure about the range though.

    They do have a limited vertical range, too, as I've been above them but out of range (ceilings in maintenence hive in eclipse, for example). I think it's spherical, or close.

    Well is it was a cilinder shaped then gorgs would build dc in vents, and let them sink, then you would have inpenitratable hives, offense chamber towers, etc. Plus spheres are easier to make in the HL engine, //me tinks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I am fairly confident that DCs use a simple spherical range. Here's a simple way to test if it has unlimited vertical range... Host you LAN server, go to the viaduct hive in ns_nothing and build a single defense chamber. Switch to marine (pre 1.03--but most of the patches are for servers anyway, most people don't have them installed) and build a sentry turret somewhere. Go back to alien. Go get hurt a bit by the sentry turret, run back to the hive, and carefully avoid the defense chamber and climb onto the cieling far above it.

    I doubt you get healed. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
