Proximity sensors ignore walk.

[Derpislav]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make proximity sensors detect only players on Run/Hunt and ignore Walk/Stalk.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Research-made mines won't end up cutting an area off for the entire round. Hiding them will be necessary, otherwise the xeno can just switch to Stalk and carefully walk over it. Also ghetto motion trackers if you switch to walk while holding the sensor.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): A very simple and tiny change to make prox sensors viable, nuff said in previous points.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Work the code magic.

That would actually be nice. I can already imagine a marine triggering a 120/120u K-H2O grenade by not walking and the resulting dchat salt. Delicious.

Sounds interesting and good

I've spent a few rounds yesterday making proximity triggered nades. tl;dr they're brutally effective and as brutally prone to causing FF accidents.

That's the drawback.

Moving to close thread? or is it still open? +1 if it is.

Bump, as it would go nicely with recent research changes.

Anything to make research more relevant, since its the only thing that can keep up with the tier system of xenos that over time makes xenos REALLY good while marines stick to being a flatline "good" most of the round. This is especially evident on Ice Colony due to its size and z-levels that make long rounds inevitable unless either side is completely garbage.

Better yet they should have two sensitivity settings; high sensitivity = walk will trigger it, whereas walk doesn't on low.
