Make weeds cool.

Post by xeno366 » 07 Apr 2017, 12:39

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

So when sombody destroys weeds the weeds will blow up like the eggs when they get shot enough times and when the weed pod is gone the weed will be grey and wont heal that much.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

it will make it better for marines because there are like 1000 weeds in the map and they cant get rid of it all and when they destroy the pod it wont heal xenos that much.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Marine sees a weed pod he destroys it, it will have a cool animation like the egg does when it explodes and the weed will turn grey and wont heal xenos that much.


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

coding,spriting?

Clearing weeds is easy as balls. Personally I don't think this is needed at all. Just IMO

the thing is when the weed pods are destroyed the weeds stay there they turn grey and they dont heal xenos so much as the normal weeds do and they have a animation like eggs when they get destroyed

if people dont like this atleast have a animation of the pods getin destroyed

I like the animation part, squishy exploding pods sounds great.
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...


...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!


~Furthermore, I consider that Floodlights should no longer be destroyed.~

Knowing the weeds provide the aliens with plasma is meta-knowledge and as such a change like this would encourage meta-gaming. The only real reason why marines clear away the weeds without meta-gaming is the quick observation that they slow you down.

Now while the weed pod explosion effect is a good idea, the weeds turning grey would make the server incredibly laggy because they'd need to do a check if there's a weed pod within X range to make the change. Neutral.

Ok people dont like the idea of weeds to heal less and become grey when the pods are destroyed.

then do the animations of the pod getin destroyed and thats it

Not right now. Weeds need a more progressive rework. Denied.
