Weird Death Bug

<div class="IPBDescription">I die and I don't know why!</div> Has anyone as alien just simply died for no reason? I'll be trucking along, Leap Attacking and all of a sudden my screen will fade to black and I die. All the console says is that I died. That's it.

One thing to note though is that I'm using a bind script to Skulk Leap Attack. I've bound the script to my Mouse2 button so I can bite with my Mouse1. However when I use this bind, sometimes when I'm in mid air, I die just like I mentioned above.

Anyone experience something similar? <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes, I've had it happen to me aswell. Someone mentioned that there is an anti-script mode for alien players - at a guess, if you enter commands (especially switches weapons) too quickly, it decides you are using a script and kills you. Just a rumour, mind you. Which I hereby passes on :-).

    Personally, the few times I've died to it was when I was leaping around with a celerited skulk - I thought the game physics engine decided that anything going _that_ fast was going *SPLAT* on hitting the wall :-).

    As an aside, using a script may be the only SAFE way of playing, as you can configure the script with extra waits. Harder to avoid being too fast switching weapons and attack manually...

    Sounds like something from DoD.... where you walk into enemy ground and get killed.
    (To prevent people spawn camping) But we all know that's probably a map entity (trigger_hurt or whatever)

    Very odd

    I'm concerned that it might be some kind of anti-script as well. I dont run scripts (yet. hehehe) but I do have hud_fastswitch on and when I get bored I set there switching weapons. I have died several times running along switching weapons for seemingly no reasion <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    something similar happened to me.
    i know i was attacking turrets as fade, then backed of, and like 30 seconds later, standing alone in some hallway, i died. the marine turret icon appeared next to my nick, like i got killed by a turret, but there was no turret anywhere near my location.

    (hope this works, if not we need a fade icon <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    Yep, if NS detects that you're using a script like this, it will kill you instantly. Solution: don't use the script.
