<div class="IPBDescription">in future releases</div> How many of you have heard about boids? They're a simulation of birds and their flocking behavior. Well, I've been messing around with the half life DLL just goofing off, and I wrote my own boids simulation model (yes I know valve already has one in the SDK, but its too complex and its suited only for the half life single player game). Here is a java demonstration of this idea:

I was thinking though, what if the alien team had some sort of weapon (maybe the fade or quite possibly the lerk) that spawned 20 little flyers that would flock through the map and swarm around a marine, causing little damage individually, but the total would be devastating. I don't know, it was just a cool idea I had. They could even trail little puffs of spores or something.
Well, if anyone likes this idea, or hates it, go ahead and tell me what you think.

flyer would have to have very little HP
i think it's good to add it to the gorg... you take off the healing spray you put this in sted,if a gorg use it on a friendly unit, it will heal him but if he uses it on an enemy unit, it will damage him untill he dies.
