Parsite Acts As Use

DoADrunkMonkey

<div class="IPBDescription">HOWEVER!</div> shooting buttons makes them go bleep and work but if u like try and parisite a lever like on ns_bast that rotating door at marines base, para that lever and it don`t do anything,

same with doors that need to be used to open, paraing that don`t make it open, but shouldn`t it because para acts like use?

is this a bug or feature ?

Dread

I think para doesn't act like use and that is good. I mean parasiting a button sounds reasonable, yes? But parasiting a door to open it or parasiting a handle? Naaa, it's good the way it is.

MrMojo

It works on doors, because there's pressure on the button from the parasite. How would a lever open if you touched it?

Diablus

in ns_nancy u can do that and u can also do that with gorge spit too <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

PseudoKnight

Actually, the ones you can parasite aren't buttons. They are handles you rotate.

XCan

Gorge spit act like parasite too, can be used to interact with stuffs from a distance.

That_Annoying_Kid

it's an intended feature, and I think it's a good one

DoADrunkMonkey

yes its an intended feature that para is like use i know but its not like use on all the objects like levers as i have stated, so what iam saying is that shouldn`t it use levers too.

DizzyOne

the rotate thing (like in ns_nothing) is very different then the handle in ns_bast

I dont know what the parasite really does but it could be:

the parasite stuff hit the rotate things and get in to the mechanics to function it
the parasite hits the rotate thing so hard it switches
the parasite is actually tinkerbell and opens the door by her magic poof power

UnderDOG

just an observation, but i find it alot harder to hit buttons with spit than with para, or mabye im just crazy

How does a skulk use a lever anyway? it has blades for feet

Amped1

It bites the lever to use it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Leap works the same way para does, in the way of opening certain doors by hitting buttons. Leap just doesn't serve that much purpose in this respect, since you still have to touch the button to activate it. Kinda neat though....

Nemesis_Zero

It's quite simple:

Mappers can give buttons certain amounts of 'health', which means that they can be triggered by attacks that deal the said (or a higher) amount of damage. Parasite and Spit both deal damage, thus, they can trigger certain buttons the mappers set to have health.

Relic25

Any func_button, regarless of damage set to open, will activate when shot with parasite. func_button_rotating apparently doesn't. You can prevent a func_button from being triggered by parasite by covering it with a thin, invisible func_wall or something similar. It can still be 'used' by players, but it cannot be shot to trigger it.

NightfireTG

how do you "shoot" and make things activate?

DoADrunkMonkey

so technically you could be a marine and shoot a button and make it activate, but it doesn`t. does it ?
so its only been coded for func_buttons to work with para, why wont they put in the func_rotating_button or whatever in 1.1

They should make it so you see everything upside down while on the ceiling and so your model faces teh right way around. I know its possible becuase they had an effect like that in a different mod i'v played

It *might* be in the works, go read the 1.1 thread.
