Is there a way to change Fade blink in LUA?

IronHorse

is it possible for someone to create a mod / change some LUA to make it so:

when the Fade blinks, you blink to that spot and orientation doesn't matter because you get X amount of seconds of invisibility and inabilty to move /attack all for orientation purposes, to then poof into the scene, claws attacking? it would solve that "cant catch a sprinting marine" issue by leap frogging him and orientating yourself to be facing him head on.

I think your idead is worth experimenting, I also have this orientation issue... though I wonder if it's not caused by stuterring...

Interesting idea. I was actually playing around with the fade code last night and made him able to run with shift. Dropped walk speed down a bit and made the run speed slightly faster than the previous walk speed so you can catch marines a lil easier. It could be interesting allowing this as well and certainly implementable but there are things such as not rendering the model when he's mid blink as well as preventing damage during this period that would need to be looked into further.

It does appear that there is already a blink time (blinkTime = math.min(blinkDistance / 120, .06)), but I am unsure if simply increasing this value would achieve anything we are trying to do here although it might lead us in the right direction (there's a comment about blinktime being dependent on animation time?). Would also need to allow the fade to 'swipe out' during the invisible cool-down post blink to function as you wanted.

So you want the NS1 blink? I'm sure someone will make a mod for this eventually. Frankly, I'd be happy with it being one click instead of two.
