<div class="IPBDescription">Why does blinking randomly work?</div> Ive noticed alot when i try to use blink , that he throws his arms around and i go no where.. Is there a formula for getting blink to work? Can you only use it so many times in a row? Whats up?
Anyone got any facts about this pneomina? <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo-->

    again.....

    OKAY: how to use blink:


    Blink will work 80% of the time if you crouch, then blink.

    blink usually only teleports when you have room, so aim a lil higher or a lil lower.

    REMEMBER: CROUCH AND BLINK!!!!!!

    The basic mechanics of blink:
    Blink moves you in a straight line, until you hit something that is in your path..

    Crouching helps because it makes your model smaller.
    Jumping helps because it gets your feet off the ground.
    Aiming a little high helps because at any even slightly downward angle your feet hit the ground.

    You can't blink through narrow spaces.

    Sometimes you get stuck in objects because blink instantly sends you to your target, and it often misjudges the presence of objects that are not walls. Basically it sends you a little too far and gets part of your model stuck inside doors, buildings, pipes, elevators, etc.

    Blink can be tricked in a couple of places, for example the elevators on ns_nothing. You can blink through the elevators -- aim for the crossed grating, try jumping and crouching and aiming straight through. With practice you'll pop out on top. Especially useful if your team has tower-stacked the elevators.
    You can also blink right through the lift between refinery and engine on ns_bast.

    Jump-crouch and blink. The jump makes sure you don't snag your feet on the floor, the crouch makes sure you don't bump your head.

    The way blink works is this: you fly to your destination at FTL speeds. BUT, if anything comes between you and the thing you're aiming at (eg you would hit your head on a pipe before you reached the end of the hallway), the blink simply won't work. Keep that in mind, and your blinks will almost always succeed.

    The hard part is not blinking into things. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Simply put, where you aim your 'crosshairs' is where your head will be when you blink. It won't work if your feet will appear below the floor level. So like everyone else said it helps to crouch or aim slightly higher.

    Actually I learned recently that some people can not blink. I beleive this to be another FPS related issue. It's not incompetence, just a bug.

    Please use the search <i>if</i> you can.

    According to Coil (the gametester), Blink shoots a ray from your "chest". When the ray hits something, it teleports you there with your chest aligned with the ray. So aim for the ceilings and walls (No! Not the ceiling of the Great Viaduct!). <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Hope that helps.

    Also, a little known fact: the more you are an ungrateful asshat, and the more sarcastic and nasty you are to people that answer your question, the easier it is to Blink. You've mastered this aspect of the skill, I see.
