We where playing ns_eye4 today, comm dropped some mines, i picked up a pack of it and jumped in the 'lift' to the hive (not onos lift, but that small one with the door). Some gorge blocked the end of the lift with oc's and some skulk try to eat one of my team m8s.

So i placed the mines quick before i died, some on the oc's and some on the wall.

then i died and 2 seconds later i see that i killed 2 guys with those mines: The MAzTER<killicon>NSPlayer

also console said: The MAzTER killed NSPlayer with item_mines

i thougth: WTH... so i take another pack of mines to try again and killed again 2 guys with it, but this time: NSPlayer killed self with item_mine (or something like that).

i made screenshots of it, but somehow that doesnt work if you play in windowed mode (screenshots are black) so i cant show what i actualy try to say.

my question: when is it your kill, if someone get killed by the mines?

    Its your kill if they walk on the mine, rub against etc.
    Its their suicide / kill if they throw biles at it / acid rocket etc...

    Yeah, I think it's the other way around.

    Still don't think so. It was my belief that you never got kills for mines because they didn't want the res for kills paying for the mines, making mines free. But you DO however get kills still under special circumstances, like yesterday when I put mines all over my teammate and he started getting kills for those.

    I've found that it depends on the position of the person placing the mines (or their final posiition if they just died) on whether or not you get a mine kill. Generally, if you're close to your own mine when an alien trips them and dies ... you'll get the kill. The most common way I get mine kills is to place my mines around the sides of the hive, JP on top and start knifing/shotgunning. About 2/3 of the aliens who climb the hive and die will give you mine kills ...

    However, I once got a mine kill as a GORGE. I managed to cloak walk into the marine's base on origin, and had a marine run around placing mines ... one of which was placed ON ME without decloaking me (it was vertically suspended in air). All of a sudden another marine walks by ... I move ... I get a mine kill. Good stuff

    It doesn't really matter because mine kills are now fixed in 2.1 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    ... I discovered this when playing a small game with some jokers who just wanted to have fun. It was the game where we wallpapered the Viaduct hive with mines, as well as got two onii to pose in front of a hallway full of mines.

    If you stick mines on an alien, and the alien moves, and the mines blow up and kill you, it credits the alien with the kill.

    <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> 2.01 is KRAYZEE!
