017 Strider Hiryu [260] v1.1.5

It's probably the same reason why you can't record a demo while there is a smoke grenade ANYWHERE on the map at the time you are attempting to record a demo.

wait so how can the effect NOT be sent to them?
doesnt the effect load up whenever u activate the flight?

or is it as start of round ? or start of map? or are u talking about the actual effect sprites? shouldnt those be sent with the map download?
or what exactly? i've never been this confused by a Zero sentence in my entire life :P

cant you make it like human's Healthpack check? load up the effect on flight, with a half a second delay?

That is b/c I am describing an event possibly caused by the way the game engine is coded and we know that valve methods often do not make a lot of sense.

[What]

so it can affect the effect if the effect is already in effect? Sounds quite......effective.

[kionay]

zero has a good point, and this should be fairly easy to test

i'm sure someone will get to it before me but i'll see if i can ask someone to play santa/strider leave and re-join in the middle of a round and see if that does it

i won't be able to till 7 or 8 tonight so surely someone will see about this before me... maybe... hopefully

[What]

Saw it being played last night without the trail working, and I definitely did not join during the round.

@ZERO
this is an fyi and reminder.


i sent u a pm to inform u of a bug i found with stryder hiryu that should be fixed pre-emptively.

so far im the only one that knows of it, and i sent u demos recreating it.
but im not disclosing more about it here (unlike pm) because i dont know when you'll be back, and wouldnt want people crashing the server and shit while u're gone....

Please restrict this race to require a minimum of 6 people (non bots) on the server when maxed. This is another race that kills servers.

fast flying races with offensive capabilities when flying (when maxed) should bet set to something like one for every 4 people per team. So 6-8 people playing allows 1 per team, 16 people playing allows 2 per team, and 20 people playing allows 3 per team. The races in this category are Strider Hiryu and Santa.

[ZERO]

So for those keeping track this will be the next race to get reprogrammed. Unlike the most recent 2 this one is going to be having some balance changes rolled out with it as well. If there are any outstanding bugs with this race please let me know about those so that I can ensure they do not creep into the recode.

[ZERO]

My god, this is one of those races that is going to take a while. The vast majority of the code is going to be trashed.

Zero. Letting u know that sometimes u still lose your gun during the game because of the flight.
Basically I've noticed it has to do with the fact that +ability1 can glitch out sometimes if pressed twice with a second by accident and so u basically do that "thu'um" sound but no flight.

If u decide to try to fly again with +ability1, it will make u lose the guns you were holding and stick with knife only when u come out of flight.... Interestingly enough if u throw ur guns on the ground and THEN press +ability, ur guns aren't removed from the map, they will be there on ground to pick up.
So in a heat of battle, when u can easily accidentally spam a button, u might lose ur guns.

Also, do u want to simply rebalance the race or rebalanced it do you accept reworked suggestions to take ideas from?

For example, High jump kick skill needs to go, and the levitation needs to be a secondary effect of another skill effect like the portal or smthn
