Turret teamkills?

[/dev/humancontroller]

Turrets occasionally do friendly fire. Is this the intent?

[kekenkiki]

from my experience its just luck of the draw and that perfect positioning, tho lag doesn't help that much.

yea, i got killed by a turret a few times. I don't mind, seeing how i prob would've died anyway, this way, it's funnier

Why fix this? It happens in 0.00000001% of all games...

[Geni3]

turrets shoot at any aliens in their FOS, if that alien is lagging and you come and stand in front of the turret while it is running past the turret, b/c of the lag, you will get shot at by the turret.

It's not lag. On a devmap, do g_knockback 0, and get god mode for a dretch and a human. Then, move the human next to the turret, and adjust a dretch so that the bullets just scrub the edge of the human. You will then see some blood.

Turrets do have some spread defined in the source, but friendly fire happens so rarely, that it is to think that turrets should not miss by design. Maybe spread is just for just increased graphics realism only. So what do you devs think about classifying this case as a bug (I do have a fix)?

And if it's any kind of bug that either just annoys anyone, or does crashes, just because it happens on rare occasions, doesn't mean that it should be left in on purpose, especially when there is a fix for it. The only reason one may encourage not fixing a specific bug, is that fixing it would require an exessive amount of time and work, which is not worth the effort. If someone is willing to donate that much effort anyway, one should not try to stop him...

Firebladez, he was joking as well >.>

Although i'm not so sure anymore, keep the cursing down please

It would be nice if there was a different death message for turret team-kills, just to point out the fact.
"<Playername> stood in front of a turret"
Mind you, increasing the spread slightly would help discourage people from camping in front of the turrets.

[snb]

ive hacked turrets so they kill surten players or any player that goes past it i also make it say "virus alert technical problems"  or i can make all the humans die if im on the aliens or even the humans and do the command hack /HVkill you have to install my mod into youre comp but im not realasing it  the hack makes all humans die of virus it says "Virus return to medstation" and evr human dies but you have to suicide in order to do it thats why its HVkill im working on AVkill aliens die then

[Knowitall66]

I made a simple mod that doubles turrets spread created loads of turrets and went aleins turned on god and stood in the middle they wiped them selves out. They were acting like noobs (shooting almost randomly). Ahahahah funny. Yeah like others have commented itll stop campers

Yes, they would go back to camp BEHIND the turrets.

what does a camping noob do when being BEHIND the turret? SHOOTING at the turret...
