<div class="IPBDescription">not sure yet...</div> Is the info on healing spray in the weapon selection bar correct???

400 meters range and it goes through walls!!!
Is this a typpo or does it mean a gorge can kill a bugged marine from anywhere on the map??

    400 feet, not meters. It's actually a very short range, but useful. You also have to aim very well, if you want the maximum range. (You can heal a fade from far away, but it's harder unless you can keep your mouse on him at all times, otherwise, it's better to stay close)

    You will notice a lot of errors and information that needs errating in the cl_autohelps. Turrets, for instance claim to work without the factory, despite the fact that's been changed.
    My money's on it's a typo or range is not in meters.

    I tried "healing to death" 2 marines who were stuck under a elevator, not to mention that last two alive before the aliens won. I was on top healing away and 2 mins must of gone by and nothing, so no, from my expereince it doesnt go through walls....er.... course elevators....Im not a mapper but they should contiain different properties than "walls".....

    Anyway, in the end we just spawned babblers into the floor to kill them. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    isnt waypoint distance measured in metres? if so, then i would think the 400 range would mean metres as well...

    A) Healing spray used to go through walls; I'm pretty sure it doesn't any more.

    B) 400 <i>units</i>. Units are an arbitrary mapping measurement; a default player model is 72 units high and 32 wide, I believe*. And I'm still not entirely sure that range is accurate. It's pretty close to melee range, whatever it actually is.

    <i>* (note: units do not translate easily to real-world measurements; HL's POV is not consistant with real life, so "correct" measurements from a units-inches conversion look really odd)</i>
