IFF Fire And You!

[BillyBoBBizWorth]

You know what i'd LOVE to see?
CROUCHING.
If you could press a button, or something like that, and crouch down (or hell, have a little down arrow on you to represent you're crouched) then there'd be a lot less FF.
For example, if you stand behind a marine that's crouching, then you have a higher chance of shooting over them, or a 100% chance, if you're using single fire. However, if two marines are crouched and one shoots at the other, then it's the same as normal.
Crouching would give severe movement penalties, so it'd only be a good option for defensive positions, which allows marines to make a greater firing line.
Thoughts?

Yeah! So glad someone brought this up, i expect crouching and/or prone will eventually be a permanent feature one day in the future for sure, in this server or other ones.Ive been lately trying to code "Prone" using the "Rest" function in a army themed server.Havnt fully got it yet.Mainly going for prone because theres a actual change in the sprite graphic and its already a feature basically, just need to correct the sprite so your laying belly down and add the gun sprite overlay on the right spot.Much easier than doing a crouch feature from scratch or it being non graphically changing, which is boring.

You dodge more bullets in walk intent than in run intent. Isn't that basically crouching?

that seems like a backwards ass

shouldn't running make you harder to hit?

Very backwards, thats a common theme around here so its no big surprise.

Yeah i guess it kind of is, better if it was the right way around as mentioned by GoliathTheDespoiler and actually changed your sprite.Like i said though, its not graphically changing which is boring and uneventful to me.I reckon if prone or crouch was graphically changing like im suggesting, then you would see more people use it ten fold.When you have a "kind" of crouch thats active because you changed your speed from walk or run, theres no message stating that your now "crouching" and therefore will react to incoming fire this way or that way, and theres not alot of people that even know that changing that run/walk stance will affect whether a projectile will hit or not RNG wise, so you dont see it being used on any large scale.

But as soon as someone creates a form of prone(or crouch) where your sprite is now actually laying on the ground, your gun is in the right position and everything looks how it should.Then on top of that if there is actual widespread known changes like your accuracy would be greater because your in prone and more steady, you would dodge more bullets because your on the ground, etc.

Everyone would be using it, everyone.
