M314 Motion Tracker

Post by danmax67 » 14 Jun 2016, 08:44

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):The M56 thing Hudson used to track their movement. Y'know,between walls and stuff.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It'll finally give the marines an extra chance to win. I mean,i've seen the Marines lose four rounds in a row. and i dont think i can take it anymore

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):When using it,a screen would appear on your right as the radar,it shows Blue for pretty much everyone,

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):make a new sprite,make some new coding,blame me when the xeno peeps get salty. blame me when the marines win a few rounds for once.

So basically this is re-adding the motion tracker that we use to have but only for use while the smartgun is active, i mean sure it could probably be done but motion trackers lag the game further into oblivion so depending on if the dev team can find way it doesn't lag this may not get very far.

Well,I was hoping we could add a new class. Because Hudson seemed like it was his job to use that tracker. So y'know,I think there should be one guy per squad with a motion tracker.

The aliens s are winning right now be cause they havnt been fully balanced. And that's because apop can't get a good statistic while people are still trying out all the new things.

Well yeah,but y'know,the Motion Tracker sure would make this experience pretty nice.
[And for once the incompetent Marines would be able to have a slightly better chance of victory.

The problem is, the Motion Tracker code lags like a mother. Until a less laggy version is figured out, we're not getting it back.

For the umpteenth time no. Motion trackers were removed as they caused huge lag to keep scanning the area for mobs.

We'll readd motion trackers when we can. But not right now.
