Title: Building explosion scoring.
Post by: baybal on June 22, 2011, 07:25:08 am

What is the logic behind giving points for killing by building explosion? Moreover, it's possible to do a teamkill (your evo points, credits get deduced) by building explosion.

So, you think chain reactions shouldn't be attributed to the person who caused the reaction?
Isn't that a bit counter-intuitive.

I was going to say "should you really get points for blind luck?" but then I remembered grenades.

I like it when I'm credited with buildable explosion kills. I once managed to kill someone with an overmind in that manner. IMO, if there is any destruction that you caused, you should be credited for it. Although, its just "score", it doesn't matter all that much.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the overmind explosion can't harm aliens. How would you get points for it then? Did you teamkill the overmind?

He either teamkilled the overmind and it killed a human or he killed the overmind as a human and teamkilled another human.

Yes. If you kill an enemy structure and it exploded killing somebody from your team, it counts as a TK.
