Title: Grenade Sacrifice
Post by: Juno on November 09, 2006, 10:49:59 am

im not sure about the physics of trems grenade



but 2 things


if i throw my granger ontop of the nade, does it reduce the damage done to the base? - imo id rather give the human some creds than have all the tubes destroyed


secondly, would this in your opinion dramatically alter the balance of the game?

Seeing that the grenades can kill multiples enemies at the same time i think it will be useless...a bit like Neo vs Smith's clones...no matter how many there are, he repels them outside a predetermined radius  :roll:

Although it would be fun to have a suicidal granger, i think it will imply that most of the time, the grenade wouldn t be able to damage more than one alien (for example one goon got hit, and block most of the damage for the others aliens) so the grenade would become quite useless.

This is only a wild guess...I didn t study Q3 engine.

Yeah, automatic blocking of the grenade damage just by standing on top of it would make the grenade rather useless.

Instead, add an ability for a granger to swallow whole the grenade maybe :) It wouldn't prevent the grenade from exploding but would allow you to make it explode elsewhere.

Extremely accurate granger spittle defuses the grenade, so it can be picked up by a granger and made to explode elsewhere.
Lets give the humies a taste of their own medicine.

So how does the nade work?


310 damage split evenly around the blast radius?

varying degrees of damage the futher away from the nade you are?


310 damage to every single thing in the blast radius?

310 damage on top of the grenade, less the further you are.

Max range is quoted as "192".

We will round to 200 for convenience's sake.
Besides, who cares about that measly 1 damage from the fringe of the grenade.

I'd just like a human ability to pick up the grenades dropped at base and throw them somewhere else :D

The granger swallowing a nade thing would be an idea within reason. Could have a carefully controlled rocket granger.

This idea is awesome, but not for the ability to take the nade elsewhere. You wouldn't have the time once you'd swallowed it. I just want to see a granger take one for the team and explode from the inside out

As long as elsewhere means farther away from the tubes so that they do not die and not much more, it is normal. You wouldn't want the granger to become a walking suicide bomber that can explode at will after that happens.

No suicide bomber aliens???
I have to deal with suicide bomber humans all the time.
worse are the idiots who sell their rifle for money.
