<div class="IPBDescription">just something odd..</div> Picture this, we have sensory, one of them is near station access on eclipse, I am a lerk, I procede into the SA vent under the SCs cloak, the sensory is destroyed, i dont move at all since im there, yet a marine knows my exact spot even after jumping over the railing, as he falls he is facing me firing.....

can anyone explain that.

if the sensory tower is destroyed, then you ain't cloaked anymore, thus your savage beating. Unless you had the cloaking sensory upgrade (due to as of yet intact sensory towers), then this doesn't sound all that "odd" to me.

-You made noise and he heard you?
-He had MT and you moved after SC got destroyed?
-He saw a giant red text saying <span style='color:red'>DARKFROST - ENEMY</span> HE IS HERE, LOOK AT ME I'M A BIG RED TEXT THAT TELLS YOU AN ALIEN HAS CLOAKED HERE IF YOU JUST TOGGLE ME ON FROM CUSTOMIZE ADVANCED!
-He likes shooting in vents and that decloaked you?
-Someone saw you previously and told the team you were in Station Access and they looked carefully with full brightness (you didn't have lvl 3 cloak)?

Hmm...

I had lvl2 SoF when the sensory near went down, noone was near, this one guy (as i watched on SoF) came from base and jumped the rail and was firing as he dropped. i hadnt moved, i know they had MT, or i sincerely hope they did <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

What i was wondering was, has it been reported that MT sometimes sees you thro the sensory cloak.

Sligh · August 2003

well, all of those could be the reason, except the last one. If you haven't noticed, cloaking levels don't increase how MUCH you cloak, but simply how FAST. 1.04's cloaking upgrade was silly in that it was useless until you had level 3 sensory upgrades. I like the way 2.0 fixed that.

But yes, all of those could be the reason. There have been many times where i would shoot blindly down a corridor/vent if i knew aliens had sensory upgrades just to make sure no aliens were just sittin' there cloaked waiting for me to turn my back.

I was kind of suspicious about this one myself too. Thanks for the correction.

he may well have just thought you were likely to be there, people are starting to find the good cloaking/hiding spots.

DarkFrost · August 2003

Probably jab, i was hoping i had found a bug <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I've actually gotten MT on a skulk I assume wasn't moving several times (and may have been cloaked, but I forget exactly the situation). Unless I was facing newb skulks who were hiding above a door jumping back and forth, which I sincerely doubt (no footsteps, and I don't think they had silence). Anyway, they were surprised as I was and I got a clip into 'em before they had a chance to react to me knowing exactly where they were <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Motion tracking was very buggy at one point in time, and liked to show immobiles. Maybe a bug survived?

Everyone in CS and NS hacks.

also lerks make ambient noise, even if you're not doing anything. If he's not stupid he can guess where you are and all he has to do is look.

If you move even a little bit, if you turn around or jiggle your mouse just a little bit, you will show up on motion.

Also comm may have scanned beforehand because of the sensory.

Also there may be an obs nearby. This is unlikely unless obs range is farther than I thought or comm is crazy but it is a possibility.
