Dispenser in TFC and FF - Page 4

I have a bind that dets both teles, so I can essentially make a double-tele trap for a last minute save on an important area. It can not kill a Scout at full health but it can save the flag and most people do not think to destroy a tele before running over it.

Ok, I was all set to deride everyone for being such a noob and thinking that teles did damage, but then I went and tested it and it turns out that teles sometimes do damage. They often don't. It's random or buggy or something. I don't know.

And that is why my tele death was a fun moment :P

It is buggy sometimes, but usually does hurt if close enough. I believe it only does 10 max damage though. I am not suggesting the dispenser be that weak, but currently in TFC the dispenser is a small nuke. It kills around corners and has a seemingly larger blast radius than grenades.

I have two issues with the dispenser in TFC that I would not want to see in FF: the blast radius and the ability to obstruct lifts.

Ideally the lift would just lift the dispenser.

I'm not sure why they didn't program that into TFC.

It doesn't work like that.

Engineers build a dispenser at the top of a lift, the lift raises and stays raised as if a player was standing there. It remains raised until the dispenser has been destroyed.

trigger_multiples have flags for what triggers them now so it wouldn't be a problem if the mapper was paying attention.
