Let a pounced marine lie

Post by Ninjanick » 19 Oct 2016, 17:57

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Let marines that have been pounced stand up when they decide rather than automatically.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Reduce the amount of FF incidents slighly as well as letting marines help each other.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Its often the case that when a marine is pounced a nearby marine that wants to be helpful will begin shooting at the alien. The pounced marine will however stand up quickly and turn teamwork into a FF situation. By having the marine choose to stand they have a much better chance of avoiding bullets as the alien is driven away.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

When a marine is pounced set them to rest mode or even better have them use resist to stand up afterwards.

If you can't type rest fast enough, the solution is to make a macro, because if you flip it upside down the problem remains, flipped: marines not typing fast enough to escape the short runner pounce and not get hugged.

I can see a lot of people wait a minute or two waiting to get back up, while if you get pounced on, you already can rest. -1
