Fix the Targetting/Aim mode on Aliens ASAP

Post by Feweh » 02 Apr 2016, 14:15

If you target alien's with targeting/aim mode it forces them into a crawl/walk for a few seconds.

Marine players have discovered this and are absolutely blowing xenos to bits in groups.
This generally only works with 1-2 marines, one will force the target and the other will shoot them dead.


Posting this here as it needs attention ASAP .

I've been using aim mode every time I had the smartgun and it never caused this. Odd.

It has the same effect on marines if you target them as well.... it changes them into a walk stance for a few moments.
On aliens it's extremely deadly having someone continuously spam that, you cant run away.

Can confirm by code. Allowing the targeted mob to walk sets their movement to walking so they know they are permitted to do it. I'll message Abby since she is doing projectile stuff.
