Multi Rail Bounce Kill Icons

XPelargos · 12-01-2013, 05:05 PM

I think there should be 3 kill icons for rail gun.

no bounce (current), single bounce, double bounce, and explosion area of effect from a fully charged shot.

Perhaps just put little numbers and a tiny explosion in the lower right hand corner of the icon?

Is this feasible? Does the kill icon system detect the number of bounces?

Also airshot icons.

WHOA! Airshot

They did the airshot thing in tfc with a mod. It would also give a distance score. Dunno if possible in source.

Good ideas.

What would the airshot requirements be? Direct hit only? Target needs to be a certain number of units above the ground?

Also 1 in 100 charged shots should bounce around forever until it kills someone or 2 mins are up which ever is first, if it does not kill then the engy dies :P the idea of a loose cannon sounds fun

Direct hit and needs to be at least 3 bodylengths above the ground I'd say.

Is the length meter possible? Or would making a thousand different kill icons make that prohibitive?
