Range of squadaura

Make squadmembers inside the squadaura be the centre of smaller squadauras of their own. Example:



1-Squadleader
2-Squadmember in squadleaders aura. Emits squadaura which is 33% smaller then that of the leader.
3-Squadmember in squadmembers aura. Emits squadaura which is 33% smaller then the biggest aura he is in.
4-Squadmember who is in no one's aura. Everybody hates him so he wont get boni.

Maybe decrease size of original aura.

Pros: Can spread squads out more.
Cons: May confuse people about whether they are in squadleaders aura or not.

 

Pros: Already implemented, if I recall correctly

 

in 2.3? Can't remember a change log to have said so.

 

been like that for a while i think

 

probably for steam release?

 

Beerdude has been working on it for a while. It might not already be in, but he was working on it for Squad Recon and possibly enhanced senses. Although to my knowledge, it wasn't as retarded as your chain idea. In the version he was doing (again, as far as I know, Beerdude obviously knows better), person 3 would not be emitting an aura, just receiving. No stupid chain.

 

squad recon and enhanced senses use squad aura? I was thinking about health regen, stamina regen, accuracy increase and uhm the squadaura the gren gives.

 

What I was saying was, we were trying it with those, and there was no reason it wouldn't apply to the other ones.

 

so like this trickster? 1 is the squadlead, and 2 is another squadmate radiating the aura, but 3 is outside the squadleaders aura thus not radiating it

 

As far as I know, yeah. Also, take person 4 for example. He receives the aura, but doesn't radiate a new one.

 

shit that was what i was supposed to draw

 

so the secondary aura is as big as the primary?

 

That's just a specific detail that hasn't been decided yet. It might be, it might not, it's not that important.

 

would be cool if it scaled with map size, like mappers could choose preset squad aura sizes or something.

 

No. That would just make it unnecessarily confusing.

 

Would be cool if it scaled whether or not the SL is in a vehicle since average distance between squadmates increases with mobility.

 

aura is a tiny bit small atm imo

I was in a vf, caggers was building an armory 1 rax length away, and he wasnt in range, so I ran over to get the points, seemed pretty small to me

 

can we get a visual indication of the size of the magical forcefield somewhere like the minimap or like a distance meter that's green when we're in range of the aura and red when we're out?
