Infection icon thingy

Post by Wondabarrapa » 05 Jun 2015, 19:31

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): The little icon that sometimes appears on a infected marine makes no sense, some times its a face hugger, egg or something else and most of the time it isnt even there, im pretty sure no one knows what it means and i think it needs to be fixed and actually make sense for the players and have a function.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): it'll be easier to know how close a marine is to bursting or if they are infected at all.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): the icon could be fixed so that it is visible at all times just like the cult or revolutionary icons and maybe make a guide or something on what all the symbols mean or make it a simple visible timer

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): coding it in i guess

It's hard to understand you in this suggestion...

What are you trying to say?

The first problem we all notice is that the infection HUD icon is not always present. In fact, it shows up for a few seconds (probably during stage change) and then disappears for minutes.

If you would permaban a player, you owe it to him to look into his logs and hear his side of the story. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the player does not deserve to be banned.

Happens to me too, and the icons make no sense. Sometimes its a hugger, sometimes its an egg, sometimes its a mouth, but most of the time they aren't there and when they are I have no clue as to what they mean.

They mean the target is infected
Personally, we need something to stay forever there and indicate that this host is infected
