Archzai

<div class="IPBDescription">questins on aiming</div> how far is the range of spore cloud... im not sure if i am missing something but is their a vent in the marine base on eclipse hive... maybe thats it

because how come a lerk all the way at the door of marine base can spray spores ALL The way to the comm chair/IP area? i think im missing something... i keep thinking there's a vent? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> hahah ...

exactly how does spore cloud aim? cuz sometimes they can have the cloud all the way back there or very up close near the door way/ the resource tower in eclipse... :o can someone explain? thx <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

As far as I'm aware, the range on spore cloud is unlimited. Think of its pre-cloud travel as a rocket - it'll always go in a straight line, but it'll take longer to get there if it's further away.

I was playing on ns_missilecommand (fun map!) a few days ago, and I was spamming spore cloud from one of the gaps in the platform above the marine start. I'd fire the spore cloud down, and a few seconds later I'd see the green mist.

Well, there aint no vent in eclipse =)

There's no vent in the marine spawn on ns_eclipse.

Spore cloud seems to have a deceleration rate...it gets slower as it travels further. Perhaps it's just slow *period* but that's how it seems to me.

Just aim a little high of something and you'll probably hit it.

spore clouds go in an invisble straight line. Thing of the TFC rocket, it goes slow and straight, then when it hits something it explodes. Thats exactly how spore cloud works, it fires a small sac in a straight line that explodes when it htis something then crearating a cloud at that point. So you can fire from the eclispse door to the command chair if you aim in a straight line to the back wall.
