in game temporarily pause
« on: July 26, 2006, 08:57:49 pm »
i was thinking that say people want to quickly leave the computer but not the game, there should be an option where you return to the base , and go up to any structure, and you are temporily removed from the game, but keep all your credits


obviously if your spawns are destroyed, or you have  a constructuion kit you shouldn't be allowed to leave the game

its just an idea tho


its a bit annoying having to answer the door, etc, and come back and find that while you went back to base and remaind stationary, a goon or dretch has taken you out

What happens if your away and this structure is destroyed?
Conversly.. what if your team won't build this structure or there is none and the door rings?

If you disconnect and reconnect, some servers will ask you if you want to be returned to your former state.

That would be a feature that's prone to abuse.

easy solution: run back to base, sell all your stuff, go out and die, then on respawn hit l. mouse and you will stay in spectator mode without spawning but associated to your team.

idk but i stayed like this once for 5min and as i returned i got 200crd more, bug/exploit/feature?

I normally return to base and stand in a corner where I'm not in the way. I'll sell all my stuff beforehand if I'm feeling paranoid.

Yeah, just sell your stuff and leave your character in the safest part of your base. Even if you get killed, you stay in that spectator mode and so only give 1 kill at most to the other team.
