Alien size & doors?

the_stalker · January 2002

what if an alien is better then a door will he beable to get through?

Lotis · January 2002

What I think he was trying to say was: What if an alien is bigger than a door, will he be able to get through?

If you didn't mean bigger and you did mean Better than I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

There are three sizes of model in the game. Marine sized, crouched marine sized, and 1.33 times the size of a standing marine.

All the aliens fit under at least one of those three categories. The Class 5 is the 1.33 times one, the Class four is the Marine sized one, and the Class 1 is -always- the size of a crouched marine.

If a Class 5 crouches, he becomes the size of a marine. Therefore, vents are the only thing a class five can't enter. Everything else can be entered by everything else.

With the exception of class 1 who doesnt have to crouch to get in vents, so there is no speed penalty for him, isn't it?

Aragorn · January 2002

Is a class 5 able to brake through a locked door?

Would be a nice effect... Some marines stuck in a room without exit, they locked the door, no ammunition anymore and a big beast is breaking the groaning door into pieces...

Lotis · January 2002

Yea Huan you must be right, he dosn't have a speed penalty for going through vents, can the level 1 ever crouch?

Bob_the_alian · January 2002

maybe if a bob crouched it could hide under the floor because it is so lousy at fighing <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I dont think lvl 1s can crouch, theres a limit in the half-life engine of how small players can go...or so someone was saying a while ago, i dont know myself

Lotis · January 2002

Bob dont let meleculor hear you say bobs cant fight or youll be sleeping with the fishes

I was just assuming that since there level one, I guess i was wrong.

Lotis · January 2002

He named the bobs!

Hida_Tsuzua · January 2002

So Bob is going to eat Bob? O'the irony of it all. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Lotis · January 2002

riiiiiiiight

Moleculor · January 2002

Bob can climb up your body and provide you with a new breathing hole right in the center of your forehead if you ain't careful. Bob's dangerous. It can be hanging, upside down, cloaked, as a single marine walks under him. He drops down behind him, runs up the marine, and *SHWING* dead marine lying in a puddle of blood. But -anywho-. Back to the subject at -hand-.

Class1's can go into vents without crouching, and they don't lose speed at all. And no, Bob can't crouch.

There was talk of making doors breakable, but that isn't in. So class fives can't break through doors.

how big is 1.33 times a marine?
Is it as big as those big mothers in Half-life, you knoz zith teh flamethrowers?
If not, i think its a shame that they cant get that big, reminds for an idea for a next post, i'm off to put my thoughts into action.

Moleculor · January 2002

1.33 times the size of a marine means you take the size of a marine and multiply it by 1.33.

Lotis · January 2002

hahahahaha a marine times 1.33 hahaha, it would be like a marine and a third

pielemuis · January 2002

yeah yeah i know what 1.33 marines is, but its just to get an idea ingame, ingame 1.33 means ####, it's just how much will i have to look up, to see his face?Like the big ones in half-life?

Moleculor · January 2002

That's precisely it Lotis.

As for how big he is in game.... no clue. 1.33 times the size of a marine. Cut a marine in half, and stick one half on top of another marine, and you have a rough idea.

pielemuis · January 2002

Just wanted to say that it would be cool, if the aliesn would be able to brake through doors, those marines camping like ####### and then this big alien kicks in the door, a bit like mister T, though i never saw him kick i na door, and then the bobs go in past his legs and jump into the group of marines and then the marines shoot wildly and hit eachother and the bobs just bite their #####, make me wander will the marine still be able 2 aim accurately when he is hit bij an alien or will his corsshair move up or something?

Lotis · January 2002

it would be cool...if you are an alien, remember once that door is gone its gone you think its cool when your an alien but when your on the marine side eh that would frustrate me

pielemuis · January 2002

yeah but maybe the marines can have some defence for the doors. Like they can use theri torch to seal the doors, that will stop the level 1-2, then they can weld some bars or something over the doors, that will stop 3-4, and last but not least some sort of electricity on the doors, that will damage the aliesn if they touch teh door, remember level 5 can go through that but suffering heavy damage and it will take 2 or 3 of those aliens to destroy a door like that without one dying trying.

Lotis · January 2002

if you weld the door shut no one can use it so it defeats the purpose of a breakable door.

Moleculor · January 2002

There are weldable objects in the game. They can not be broken through.

pielemuis · January 2002

will there be vehicles in NS?
Just wanted 2 know. Or maybe i should start another post or something about it.

Lotis · January 2002

good question

neag · January 2002

Can,t weldables be broken?
Guess that has changed from nstr, there the mapper could decide if a weldable is breakable. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
I don't think there will be any vehicles.

Moleculor · January 2002

Oh, could weldables be set to breakable? Didn't know that.

Alien size & doors?
