Suggestion that the passenger riding on the tank turret receives the following: a) Prone type accuracy with all weapons b) Uninterrupted camera movement, and independent than that of the driver of the vehicle (eg. if the turret moves, it's doesn't affect you with that annoying jerk) c) Can duck inside the turret
a) It's been discussed, hopefully one day someone codes it. b) Client-server interpolation is hard enough without players being hooked onto a physics object, it's improved in teh recent patches but it's still hard to make it work well. c) Lol.
Empty is just mumbling. You can do b) in chassis script. It also doesn't jerk anymore. Turret movement is smooth so even a passenger parented to turret will be able to hit something.
Make it so when your on the top of the turret, that the driver's mouse look doesn't swing you around dangit!
It's laggy as piss for me when I play on the Customfactor server, which is like down the street from my house.
First of all you shouldn't be able to do damage to your own. It's always stupid if you kill yourself just because the driver rotates the turret just in the second you wanted to fire your RPG/Sticky.
Bump because this is a serious issue on B), it is impossible to do anything but nade spam/ drop mines
Yeah, seriously, just undo what you did and make it like before. Who even decided to make the turret like that that anyway?
We had this in 2.0 testing and I can't remember why it was removed. It was awesome though. edit: yep, I knew it I don't know why it was reverted though.
Quake wars was rolled out AFTER empires started development, so you could say they both had the same ideas. The FAQ has a question that ask why other mods/games have so much things like empires.
That quote was when quake wars just came out so ignore that part. Also this was when were near release so krenzo said no more feature adds. But he then labeled it a bug and added it.. Still I can't remember why it crept back in the game.. Maybe something to do with the OB port, Try and posting this in the bug tracker instead of as a suggestion.
Say this to the inactive OP for putting it in suggestions or get someone with mod rights to put it into the bugs area.
No it wasn't the OB port, that was, what, 2.2? Pretty sure only 2.25 has had it, well since 2.12 and onward. I want to know the name of who did it so I can ask him WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, kindly. I can be sated with a re-revert of course.
