Idle Animation
« on: September 04, 2009, 09:57:53 pm »
I hate you, idle animation. I take the time to type one thing, and now I have to wait to move or waste my shot? This is horrible. The idle animation should stop as soon as I hit an action button. I don't want to waste a barrett shot or spray just to be able to move again. That, and I hate being killed because I have to start shooting early just to get away from some guy running at me.

It may have been added to help camping, I really don't know. Switching weapon twice usually works for me.

The time it takes to switch weapons twice, I would be dead three times in TW.

It's supposed to be an anti-camping feature, but personally I think it's utter rubbish.

Anyway, the way you can cancel it is to tap the grenade button once. Tap, not hold, otherwise you'd end up dropping/throwing a grenade.

Yeah it's pretty annoying although you can sorta get used to it if your a camper. That grenade feature is pretty good, cool tip.

Changing weapons helps also if you dont manage to tap it.
To prevent it, move a bit just by tapping left or right, if standing then tap crouch once every few moments.
Last year, I dreamt I was pissing at a restroom, but I missed the urinal and my penis exploded.

What if you are typing?
1) Press enter immediately.

2) Click your jets.

3) Click the shoot button once (you'll shoot once).

4) If all of the above don't work or you don't want to do any of the above, you're screwed.

If you're camping, you're most likely crouching or proning, or at least moving around in a general area if you're spawn camping or just trying to defend an area, so therefore the animation won't play anyway...

This "anti-camper" feature really does help.. sometimes. But it's more harmful than useful, so I aggree with this suggestion.

Soldat is a fast paced game, not camping...campers are just there to piss off people who REALLY want to play. I think it's a good feature because it will stop campers from shooting at some points unexpectedly. Although it can be quite frustrating if your not camping and just typing/afk or anything such related.

It's exactly because it's fast-paced that camping is not a good idea in the first place. And the system isn't effective, more of an annoyance.

Even if I'm not a camper, it happens to me sometimes too, and I can't say I like it when it happen.
Other then that, I don't mind. IMO people can camp all they want, it's not good so it will only hurt them.
