Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
- Essentially, the idea is basically in a TL;DR a 'tongue' abillity from the Xenos. So, I figured in the movies as well as the iconic finisher for all Xenos when they're not harvesting Marines/Humans like it's War of The Worlds. Is that usually they grab a Human, center their head wether it's from the back or the front. Then the skull gets a intense tongue punt that cracks the cranium open like a egg. With the TL:DR out of the way, I somewhat figured that there's a abillity, the tail whip that somewhat works as a cooldown timer though when you click the target it does a big old punch to the target it connects to, if it connects in the first place. I figured that it's somewhat of the same concept? In a sense.
- I think that it'll conserve a lot of logs for Admins/Moderators personally, I don't know how logs work though from observation and off handed comments from Moderators and Admins that it tends to be they have to cull the ahelps by enforcing a "Don't send useless ahelps." And I believe that's because their chat is completely constipated in logs that would flush out. No pun intended. As if it manages to actually happen instead of clawing someone twenty times it'd just be a simple one action, put out of misery type abillity for when Marines are down and out.
- It also provides a fun little thing for Xenos to do when they're kicking ass and... Well, not taking names, in this situation at least.
The way that I saw this working, is basically:
- The Tongue Punt has a cool down, just like the tail whip it costs plasma in order to keep it readied or activate it in the first place.
- The target be that Colonist, Marine or etc. Has to be down and also the person must be in a grab via the Xeno. Just like the Queen Gut system works basically, infact it's almost exactly how the Gut system works ingame.
- I figured that the charge for it to happen has to be either equal or longer than the gib period of a Marine going down, otherwise Xenos will just gib then punt and instant-kill which would be too OP. Though the Marine has to be down long enough for the punt to occur.
- If there is a animation for it, I know that'd be stupid to have the tongue punt just flicker so I don't mean that, though what I mean is that the head just perhaps has a hole in it and blood sprays a adjacent from the head to symbolise it.
- A sound for it, which would be relatively easy to find and I'd personally help find a sound clip to do it.
I really have no clue how to implement it, my technology skills is equivalent to that of being able to fix a toaster, when it comes to code as well as anything that considers a computer. I'm pretty much less than novice.
-edit-
I accidentally posted this idea after someone else had though I didn't realise as I rushed into this, sorry for that.
