Forced Fire

[Desolane900]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): When getting hit by something while wielding a weapon, force said weapon to fire in a random direction.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): More immersion and realism.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): So imagine you're holding a gun with the safety turned off and your finger on the trigger and acid strong enough to melt steel smacks you in the face or even worse, you get hit by an at least dog sized creature leaping through the air that is hard enough to knock you to the ground. What would your body's reflex be? Tensing up. Your hands would squeeze at the very least.

If anything I could also point at the canon movie where one of the marines starts getting yanked into the air and sets two other people on fire with the incinerator unit. This suggestion is to suggest that when pounced or spit on, a marine player would fire their weapon in a random direction. Possibly even where ever their mouse is at.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Code.

Inb4 gets shot by self from forced fire.

Trigger discipline is engrained into a soldier's basic training. You don't keep your finger one the trigger. You only do so when you're firing.

Example for a pistol.

It's the same with the mouse, you don't fire by releasing the mouse but by pushing the mouse button. Your finger isn't on the trigger at all times.

-1, trigger discipline is a thing you know

Some retard lighting his buddies on fire is the exception, not the standard. We already have enough FF as it is, and as other people have already commented, it's not as realistic as ya might think. -1

...cLEARLY, you forgot the most important part of the COLONIA MARINO experience, muchacho.
A friend standing in front of a target means that you just need to take one more layer of penetration into your calculations.

-1 no no no no no. no. You're gonna end up starting a chain reaction, and while hilarous, this will fuck so many people up.

-1, pls no, there's a thing called trigger discipline, it's where you don't put your finger on the trigger unless you're ready to shoot.

-1, I get the idea, but it's got amazing potential for FF chains as stated above. Maybe nerf it so the effect only occurs when you hit the hand holding the gun?

+1 to this counter-suggestion.

-1 for me, ff is already bad, no need to make it worse
