Electrifyed Observatory?

Sandrock · August 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Interesting bug</div> Just saw this on a game of mineshaft on CoFR, thought it was worth sharing...

Sandrock · August 2003

Another...

Xentor · August 2003

Hmm.... I'm shocked <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

(Pun definitely intended)

Plug in maybe?

Aegeri · August 2003

I wonder how they did that.

It's pretty neat actually, I might have to try and figure it out.

Sandrock · August 2003

Only plugin is the 3 second kill delay and adminmod

Kill delay is built into the game, it was put there by Flayra a while ago.

There was a bug in 1.04 where if you tried to select a building but it selected another one close to it (eg. eclipse hive bug) you could upgrade the functions of the building that <i>looks</i> selected on the one you actually selected...

It sometimes does that when buildings are too close to eachother too.. because the TF and the obs were so close together the comm must of <i>actually</i> clicked the <i>obs</i> but it came up with the TF upgrades.... so when he upgraded electricity the obs became electrified.. hope that makes sense.

I could be completely wrong though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Spazmatic · August 2003

If so, I'm totally electrifying my observatories, just to shock the skulks who try to chomp it.

Javert · August 2003

It seems to happen in densely crowded bases. If there's an electrified tf or node nearby, that could cause the anomaly. Though unintended, it would be helpful rine-wise.

Sirus · August 2003

Err...

I know how to do it, I can't believe we didn't catch it. Report it in the bugs forum.

a_civilian · August 2003

There is already something like this in the bug reports forum. It is <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=26&t=40500' target='_blank'>here</a>.

Psycho-Kinetic_Hyper-Geek · August 2003

I already did.

SemperFi1 · August 2003

Whoa..

Maveric · August 2003

Where's the TF in that one Psycho-Kinetic Hyper-Geek? behind the arms lab?

Diablus · August 2003

man, i would just like to see a electrified hive, oh man i wouldnt stop laughing if marines got randomly killed or aliens cus its electrified when they went near it hahaha! im laughing just thinking about it

btw, whever an onos comes stormnig into a base i usually type kill and wait the 3 seconds if i knew he saw me and is ready for sum food, in ralphys i tried it on ralphy who was being cheap with godmode as onos sitting in our base eating us all, i had to wait 12.4 seconds for the suicide, boy i got scared when i saw him trying to eat me and i had to dodge him for 12.4 seconds i think it was the NSadmin based? what else is new on NSADMIN? in 2.0?

Xodlike · August 2003

wow if all that is possible...hmmm electric ips....wHOA

Fortuna_Wolf · August 2003

I'm the guy who did that. (the obs)
My next trick is to electrify HA.

Ollj · August 2003

now electrrify a bunch of turrets, amrory and a phasegate.

Clint · August 2003

I have to say, that is some pretty interesting stuff.

And I laughed quite a bit at, Xentor's response.

Big_Chief_Brown_Bottom · August 2003

this is a hilarious bug. i can already see flayra going through the code trying to fix it

ViolenceJack · August 2003

MASS EXPLOITATION

Epidemic · August 2003

It's a feature, I know it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Untitled · August 2003

Well I did originally think the tfac eletrifys EVERYTHING in its radius (which would be really awesome if it did), so I wasnt as suprised when I saw it.

Jaml · August 2003

Does it still costs res or is it free? Cause if it costs it wouldn´t be very intelligent to waste res to electrify all the turrets.

Majin · August 2003

You could make a circle around the door to the room and elec all of the turrets, someone walks into the room and BOOM, they get shot and a burst of Electiricity hits them from each turret.
SUPER TURRETS!

voogru · August 2003

hmm... with this any building that the commander can select can be electrified.

and I know why.

time for bug fix.

Pa1adin · August 2003

What if we don't call it a bug but add the electrifying upgrade to other buildings aswell and call it a feature

Ollj · August 2003

better move it to the bug report forum before its a common exploit.

Morose · August 2003

I guess I don't see the big deal. It still costs you 30 res. Woopity doo! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> Though I guess an electrified command chair WOULD probably drag the game out unneccessarily. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>
