<div class="IPBDescription">For those who dont know</div> Hmm, I've been seeing alot of people stop building their oc's/rsr's etc to heal kharra wounded. I just wanted to tell everyone who didnt already know that they can use heal spray while holding the use key to do both at the same time*.

    The people who didn't know this should contemplate doing bad stuff to punish themselves !!!
    And furthermore, healspray doesn't just heal only one target at a time in my experience, this has been said elsewhere in the forums.

    But maybe anyone has some solid proof of the "1 target healing" ?

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

    it also doesn't increase the speed you build at, however it does help you build the stucture while its under attack as all structures have two health bars, one for during building, one for completed building.

    If an OT or DC is almost about to die and you complete building it, it is restored to full health.

    While it's usefull to finish a WoL under HMG fire , it's quite hard to heal a teammate while building , since you have to face the building to heal it and the healspray is emitted right on it ; it's area of effect isn't that big... the wounded aliens have to stand on you or next to you to be healed. I'd say it's impossible to heal more than 2 aliens while building.

    The area of effect on healspray not that big? What are you smoking? The graphic animation for healspray is tiny, but the actual area of effect is HUGE...

    But healing spray isn't too wide, so you need a skulk who knows to go near the gorge.

    If anything it will decrease your speed due to a possible drop in frame rate.

    When you miss healspray, it's usually because either your target is extremely(!) far away, or because there is something between you and it. Resource towers and other skulks commonly block the path of the spray by blocking your line of sight.

    If structures are fully healed when they finish building, does this also work with hives?

    Hives don't seem to fully heal when they complete. Of course, hive healing is broken anyway (it heals itself 2 hp per tick, not 20), so who know what's going on with them for sure.

    When a hive is "placed" by a gorge, it starts at 1 hp and slowly moves up to 6000 hp. This is the build time. If a hive is injured while building it will still complete in the same amount of time. I'm not sure if a hive resets itself to 6000 hp when it finishes or not.
    (1.04 figures of course)
    And btw, hives were never meant to heal themselves 20 per tick. They heal aliens lifeforms 20 per tick.

    I dont think healthspray is very useful when building...Id rather try to speak while doing so...thats why "e" is such a bad key for it IMO...

    Healspray is like a huge shotgun, it's range is pretty big, and yes healing while building is something I do all the time

    Erm.. your kinda right.. and kinda wrong... The oc/whatever does have another health bar when its in its *building* stage. ALTHOUGh1!!!! If you are building it and someone unloads his hmg in the building IT WILL NEVER DIE aslong as you keep building. The health bar resets itself as long as your building the structure which is why you should just tap the build key if he is unloading on the structure and not you.

    yup

    I've had two marines empty HMG clips point blank on an OC as I was building it.

    every time you begin building a chamber it is restored to full health, so if they are attacking it just press the use button on it to build for a fraction of second and it will be like new <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> That's the thing because marines can't ever think of destroying an OC while a gorge builds it.

    i hope 1.1 fixes the damned refresh hp everytime you build it. It is CRAP, and definitely a bug. Makes chamber rushes too damned easy.
