Crushers transform into a different sprite mid-charge

[Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): When a crusher's charge is active, their sprite should reflect that. I'm not sure what they should look like mid-charge, but it should be immediately noticable to any xeno/marine that it's trying to ram you, and that it's not just sped up from Frenzy.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): This'll make it easier for marines to know to get the FUCK out of the way of a charging crusher instead of thinking it's just walking up to you to tackle/stomp wombo combo you.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Pretty much explained already isn't it?

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): As it stands, crushers already have a sort of walking animation, where their head bobs up and down, so their sprite changing once their charge is registered as active shouldn't be too hard right? The sprite could be something like just the same old charger but with speed/air brake lines coming off behind it.

well, its not a bad idea, but i kind of just always assume that if a crusher is moving towards me, bad things are about to happen and i should try to sidestep a bit. but speed lines sounds nice, could be enjoyable to look at even for the charger player

When a crusher's charge is active, their sprite already change to one where their head is lowered into a ramming position. The 'bob' animation you see is when they switch in/out of charging, evident when their momentum resets when they change directions.

It's already in I guess

When the head is down, it's charging. When it's up, it's not.

EDIT: This isn't a suggestion, this is just what we already have ingame.

Already a thing. Denied.
