Knife Idea
« on: October 09, 2006, 01:22:45 pm »
Just a small suggestion.

If someone is close to a wall when a thrown knife kills them, the knife will pin 'em to the wall.
This could be used in a nailgun mod.

Eh, I don't really like it. I prefer to see their lifeless remains fall violently to the floor.

Plus, getting the knife out of a wall would probably be a pain in the ass. 'Specially on low jetfuel maps.

Agreed... Plus, I also think that the normal ragdoll deaths are fine.

Ha ha this'd be cool. Imagine throwing your knife at someone and they get flung backwards and slam into the wall, their feet following and they end up pinned to the wall, blood dripping from their head with the knife cutting through their brain as they fall down on the knife, finally having the knife split all the way through their head and letting them fall to the ground with a half head.

seeing as everything is a 'poly' and not a 'wall', people would get pinned to the ground.

This would be good with rambo's arrows, but not with the knife.

I hate to bring realism into the game, but... it just doesn't make sense that the knife would be able to stab someone and retain the force to push them against a wall -- enough force to push through the body, into solid rock, and support the soldier's weight. It just seems odd to me for that reason, even in a game with jet boots and weak miniguns. I don't think the knife's physics are designed to make this work, either, though, given the way the knife travels. The suggestion would see limited use at best.

Although I'm not keen on the idea, the concept of impaling people to walls could be put to fantastic use in the extra WM option idea. Creating other weapons that do the same thing could be a lot of fun, especially in zombie matches etc.

Yeah, but I said CLOSE to the wall. like, standing with your back touching it.

It's useless, but it's funny.

From certain angles this would be useless, but if someones jetting near the ceiling, them pinned and dangling would be neat.  Again as you said, useless, but it would be pretty fun.

There needs to be an impaling spike secondary weapon. It holds them to the floor or wall or whatever and doesn't kill them. Woop woop. Shooting range.

how the hell would a knife pin someone to a wall - a knife doesn't even penetrate a person!  it just stops on him and falls vertically down.  this is lame.
Can't think of anything original to put here...

Besides, you'ld almost certainly screw up knife only (both normal and dodge ball) servers.

How the hell is the minigun not a one hit spine breaker?

This would also require for the corpses to once again become synced. And personally I don't feel like I want any more lag.
