Shoot while taunting

[Drakor]

I was just playing INF, and when my guy did the victory taunt at the end, I thought- Wouldn't it be cool if you could shoot during a taunt? I mean think about it, He raises the gun over his head for victory, During piss, you could shoot almost straight up, The cigar thing would send bullets out everywhere... If you could shoot during a taunt, It would make them alot more useful versus their current state of ONLY being visual appeal...(and for those nay-sayers, cause I KNOW there will be some): Maybe as a toggle-able option in the server, or player menu. Also, on a related note: this already works with flamer... for some reason.. I'm not sure if that's a glitch or not tho.

how would shooting in random directions be useful?

and as it is now, you can shoot to get out of doing a taunt, so you arent completly screwed over if you start doing /smoke for being idle

Not a good idea, probably will never be used. F11

This pretty much sums it up.

No support.

this would be cool. Just think you could do your victory taunt and kill your enemy at the same time. That would show you sort of owned your enemy. Lol. Don't flame me for what i think, pls.

When you do /victory, your solider raises their arms so they are above the normal player's size. In turn, this makes the gun the same height. If you shoot, there is no way that you could kill someone with /victory unless they jump into it, or you are binked.

As it is, firing interrupts such animations and allows you to move, which is much more useful than firing off in whatever direction the gun's pointing. I think it's best left as-is.

[zyxstand]

nehh...  animations were just supposed to be a peripheral feature that in itself shouldn't interfer much with the actual game play (however it does interrupt the game play when you're just standing there and suddenly can't move cuz your player is lighting a cigar)

Yes, I hate how the animations won't break when you try to move about. He just stands there and spits his tobacco out. Freaking annoying, especially if you've just F9ed the game to check something, and you find your base under attack.

Aye, it's a bit annoying. You can just tap your nade throw key for a split second and it'll cut out of the animation though; or firing your weapon (even though that might not be very desirable with a barrett/M79/whatever).
