How do I get kills using a hive?

[Menace13]

How do I get kills using a hive? Is it using hive to show something there isn't an icon for or something? :3 I've always wondered, and I finally got one so now I want to know even more. It says I used a HIVE to kill somebody. I mean really. How?

I'd imagine you built it.

GPP has usable hives?! Maybe it isnt a lost cause after all!

Maybe the hive killstole you?

Just because of this the game now REQUIRES that alien players can turn into hives and just sit there, waiting. They can shoot bees at enemies as well as their teammates.

3 minutes casting time and 30 mins cd

I've always thought it'd be interesting to see alien structures move around or some shit. Like the overmind just getting up and walking around.

But that's not right. My hives have gotten WAY more kills than that.

Indeed. Its possible that the hive stole your kill or something, but I'm really not sure.

I'm guessing you triggered the hive as a human, but the swarm killed someone else.

Wouldn't that count as a teamkill instead?

Ding ding ding! My understanding is that a human triggers the hive and the hive hits a player (without doing damage if it was an alien) and that player becomes the owner of the hive and "attacker" (though I don't understand why the killer would not always be the victim).

Code (trunk/src/game/g_missile.c:113) Select Expand

  other = &g_entities[ trace->entityNum ];
  attacker = &g_entities[ ent->r.ownerNum ];

Code (trunk/src/game/g_missile.c:174) Select Expand

      //prevent collision with the client when returning
      ent->r.ownerNum = other->s.number;

Code (trunk/src/game/g_missile.c:200) Select Expand

      G_Damage( other, ent, attacker, velocity, ent->s.origin, ent->damage,
        DAMAGE_NO_LOCDAMAGE, ent->methodOfDeath );

Since only humans can activate a hive and only humans can get hurt by a hive, does that mean all my 'kills with this weapon' stats includes friendly fire?

No. The Swarm will never target or damage aliens, but can hit them:

hive hits a player... and that player becomes the owner of the hive and "attacker"

I see!

So why does it do this?

Meanwhile, I'll try to recreate this from what you've told me.
