Do collisions cause damage now?
« on: January 30, 2011, 09:02:07 AM »
I ran into a teammate on accident recently, ya know the old i'm gonna go this...no this way thing.  Anyways, I was in a Scat, he in an Owens.  My mech was all in the green, but after the collision, my leg was deep red.  If this is the case, then this is awesome.  Or am I dreaming?

I suck!! But WE are AWESOME.  We started a unit.  What's that?!  YOU WANNA TOUCH MY UNIT?!! :P ^^12thVR Recruitment Page(clickthepic) ;)

I remember trees taking a small tick off my legs, but nothing like that.

A lighter mech crashed into my Novacat once and broke my leg off completely. Pretty shocking.

LOL, now I know what to do when I see Rally. Give your Nova an Owens hug.

AHEM....

This hasn't happened to me too many times, but every once in a while, a hover or tank (usually Harasser, also Oro or Demo a few times) would crash into my leg and continue nudging against it.

I get a warning arrow pointing at the hover/tank and telling me that I'm taking damage and I see that my leg is orange-ish yellow :o with no shots fired (from anything) ???

Can we actually collide now?
Is this a glitch?
Did you try to make ground vehicles collide, but it only works in odd cases?

Anyone else get this?
Beat you to it :P

there's no such thing as a glitch (there are however bugs and crashes).  And I think now it's more that collision occurs more often because of improvements made, but don't quote me on that.

The best thing is BA, moving empty mechs on back, taking low-moderate damage ;]

When will full game/demo/beta be released?
         We're planning a beta release in the next *very* few weeks. At this time, we can't be more specific. Please stop asking.

No, I will not stop asking.

Well, didn't physics get "improved"?  In my case, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a tree.  I think there were only 4 ppl on the server, and it happened 50 yards from base. 

If I had a dollar for every time Cujo said, "don't quote me on that", I might have 2 dollars.  ;)

oh man, with that 2 dollars, you could go make me a sammich  ;D  I should say it more often so I can get a bottle of my favorite libation with that  ;D

But yea, I usually say that when it's something code side that I'm 95% sure I read them post that in public forums in another thread and if I'm only 95% correct, they'll fix the other 5% and either way helps you :D.  I just make things look pretty...while they shoot you.

A few days ago I dived off a bridge with my Morrigu (I was under LT fire and there were 3 med mechs blocking the main way out), I took MASSIVE damage, broke the turret, engine went deep red, and the rest of the body was bright red/medium red. All that from orange-yellow.

I like it though, I shouldn't have been able to do that anyways.

Hm, is that somewhat reproducible or a very rarely happening odd occurence?
