Doing stuff while on the floor

Post by Darkplasmaray » 04 Sep 2016, 08:05

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): So you know when you break free from an alien nest, but cant uncuff yourself because you cant stand up, yeah, thats a bummer, I was wanting to uncuff myself and blow me and my squad mates up together with my grenade in my pocket, but I couldn't. So hows about we can uncuff ourselves when lying down, and do simple things, like take something out of your pocket and press the button to make it go boom?

Also, being able to crawl across the floor would be nice, when you get your feet cut off by an alien and your squad cant get to you, it would be nice to crawl over to them.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Well, the crawling will make the game more exciting, instead of being a helpless sack lying on the floor to be abandoned by your friends, you could crawl over to them, unless you're critted of course. And the uncuffing thing? well, it'd be nice to kill yourself in an alien hive with a grenade, I know you can already do that, but you can't when you're injured, because you cant stand.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): well crawling would be the slowest form of movement, but give more freedom, all you would need to do is make 1 or a few sprites to accompany crawling, make the variable, and set it to a certain speed. But im not sure about the handcuff thing.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and keep up the good work with the game. :)

Crawling's been denied several times.

As for simple things, sure. I'd be supportive of stuff similar to Aliens being able to slash while down, taking out things and using them, or taking out your boot knife and slashing at an Alien nearby.

No guns, though.
