Spring RTS Engine

You know the drill, 2 players place on the same metal cluster.
dgun madness ensures.

Dgun has no uses for the first 60secs, until the first air fac is up, and u atlas ur way to the enemy base.

So, disable dgun for the first 60secs of a game, and there wont be anymore dgunning teammates.

Problem solved, less player anger & i get a carrot.

or just kickban people who do that?

This is trivial to do in lua, and pretty much only applies to BA. Go to the BA thread.

It applies to several mods actually but the best solution would be to just prosecute such behavior.

Like what? Doesn't apply to CA or NOTA, I really doubt its going into XTA, nothing else based on TA is played much.

You even don't really need Lua - just make a variable in the Com's script that blocks the D-Gun's aiming function until you've set that variable to 1 or whatever you want. Then you'll only need a simple function you put in Create() that sleeps for a couple of seconds and then sets the variable to the desired value...

You wouldn't have a comfortable on/off option to switch though...

dont force everyone to use this please, playing on maps like tinyMe u need the dgun really fast...

I dgun trees.

It's not going to happen anyway. Dgun only after 60 secs would mean people start dgunning allies after that time is up (never mind that if someone is intent on ruining the game for his allies there are myriads of ways and no game rule is going to stop them) and I don't think Noize likes the idea of arbitrary restrictions on the dgun anyway.

I agree, 1 min limit makes it even worse because then it takes a minute before you find out there is a moron in the game. If the game is going to be restarted, you want to do it ASAP.

Disabled friendly fire (optional) might be a better solution to this problem. Units would also have to be impervious to "friendly explosions"

You can't make game retard proof. There's no point in dumbing it down.

Play 1v1, you can't dgun yourself in foot anyway.

Or asshole proof for that matter.

If someone is only in the game to ruin it, they are going to ruin it regardless of a 60 second rule on d-gunning.

Maybe you should be able to.

That's the CTRL modifier when you select the command via keyboard.

Don't disable it (because it can be useful in first 60 secs) but make it's damage very low. I mean charging (with progress bar ?) D-Gun during first minute which supports with increasing of it's damage and when minute ends D-Gun is ready.

make teammates immune to dgun.

Hoi don't spam.

Removed spamposts.

How about letting the other players ban somebody's dgun ability by voting?
Democracy ftw

If you have to do that you can just as well kick him.

make teammates immune to dgun.

hois idea isnt bad...could be a nice "checkbox-option"
