Hey Gorges, You Can Heal And Build Simultaneously

relsan

I expect a lot of people to say yeah I already knew this, but in all the games I've played I've only seen 2-3 gorges heal and build at the same time.

Whenever I go to a gorge for health while he's building, he will stop building, turn to me, and heal me. You dont need to do this. Just keep building and turn on the heal spray. You don't even have to turn to face me because the heal has a wide radius. Whenever skulks ask for healing I just spam heal spray at the structure I'm building and skulks pick it up no problem.

Please remember this because in the long run structures get built faster and that's often very important when theres marines around the corner.

Yea this also comes in handy if your building a oc wall and its getting shot as your building. You can heal the others while building, and if any marines try to rush you'll damage them with oc's and the heal similtaniously (i think i spelt that right)

Anyone know if unbuilt chambers can be healed? I can think of a few times that I've built OCs while under fire from marines, and the OCs finished building with 1/2 health.

Im almost positive unbuilt chambers CAN be healed.

Yes, they can. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yeah, damaged but unbuilt chambers can be healed, and you can heal while building if there is a line of sight between you and the player (ie don't stand right behind what the gorge is building). It doesn't usually matter that you can do both at the same time though, because it usually takes much less time to build the chamber than to save the res to drop the next one, and thus you have free time.

On a side note, healing things does not make them build faster. This is a pretty common newbie mistake, usually caused because players see the chamber building by itself while healspraying (it builds by itself no matter what you do to it), and this seems like a good chance to bring it up.
