Gren Shooting For Gorges

Roger_Dodger · May 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">not what u think</div> Is it my imagination but can a gorge spit blow grens up in mid-air??? I have done it a few times but i am really unsure if it was spit or something else detonating them. Plz tell me if u can confirm or deny this or have seen this used in perhaps a deliberate or a helpful mistake sort of way. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

i did notice gorge spit does blow mines up, it's possible it could blow grenades but...I couldn't tell you for sure. Would require some fancy shooting.

This is intersting

any mod or dev have anything to say?

ZiGGY · May 2003

thats a new one on me, i know gorges make a nice popping sound when you gren them though :/

Both are projectiles, very likely that you can do this.

FlyFlown · May 2003

id like to know either, aint very useful tho, the mines are verrrrrrrrry small (a lot too small for me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>), kinda difficult to aim well

well I suppose the thing is the spit is a solid alien ... thing. When it passes thru a mine, it sees a "alien thing" and detonates (I suppose). maybe when hits a grenade it does the same thing.

My question: does parasite actually have a (real eg not spike) projectile, and if so does parasite and paralyse blow up mines?

parasite doesnt blow up mines, not sure about paralyse, my guess is no. (mines usually arent used when Onai are on the prowl.)

Kuroneko · May 2003

parasite will hit the mine and make that nice little 'splick' sound.

Frosty · May 2003

from what i understand paristie cna mark a mine on hivesight, not positive though.

Nope, and I have spent about a minute parasiteing a mine and it didn't blow up. So don't think they can destroy them. But spit is very useful.

CoREJayFive · May 2003

I'm pretty sure I've hit a grenade with an acid rocket before and blew it up midair. I would think gorge spit does the same.

Iced_Eagle · May 2003

never tried either.... must try soon <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

cant destroy a min with para, but im still not sure about the nade thingy. I should try that

taboofires · May 2003

Spit is WAY different than parasite. Parasite is just hitscan, it checks to see if it hits anything valid right away, and it doesn't consider mines valid. No projectile at all, just like lerk spikes.

Spit is solid. You can actually land on a gorge spit! When something solid passes through the detection zone of a mine, it triggers it. Thus, spit triggers mines.

If by some amazing luck you managed to hit one of the tiny tiny GL grenades with a gorge spit, one of two things would happen. Either it would treat the spit like a wall and bounce off back toward the marine, or it would consider it an a hit and explode. I would imagine that if grenades exploded on contact with glass (I don't know if they do or not), then they would also explode on another non-player entity, spit.

I once destroyed a turret with a parasite.

Gerby · May 2003

ok im going to get really good with gorge spit so when dudes with nade launchers try to kill me i can just blow up the nades in there faces,
god be funny to see this happen, can just imagine a marine going "WTH!!! H4X!!!!" coz he died from his nade blowing up in his face.

isnt there projectile with the lerk spikes? I really thought so eventhough it doesnt make the mines to explode... Am I wrong?

I have once read on this forum somewhere a long time ago that parasites could blow up mines... And then I have seen Ollj's lo-poly parasite projectile, which made me thought that parasite could possibly be non-hitscan and actually have a projectile, thus (possibly) confirming the first hypothesis.

Sunrise: yes you are wrong <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> They have a model of spikes but it's actually hitscan.

Roger_Dodger · May 2003

Hmmm well we havent really come to a definate conclusion just theory's still, hopefully a dev will pop this way shortly perhaps. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I have noticed that when I try to take down a wall of lame with grenadelauncher and heavy armor some of the grenades explode in my face (no, it is not lag...), probably because of the projectiles the ocs shoot (which are the same as gorge spit)

So, my conclusion is that spit does indeed make grenades blow up.

FlyFlown · May 2003

okay okay my bad <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> thx for the info tho

ThE_HeRo · May 2003

It's a good question that has never been brought up before...

I'm inclined to say they do, because of what i've read so far in this topic, but I don't have any hard evidence to tell you.
