Rockets being deflected by the laser

[Dokujisan]

wait....not talking about blowing up a rocket. I'm talking about changing the rocket's trajectory. Deflecting.

4m, if this has been brought up on the forum before, then I haven't seen it. And I still want clarification on your claim about deflecting a rocket with a nex.

clarification:
could be i just dreamed it. i just have that image in my head.
(or maybe the rocket was deflected by a laser or something else, without me realizing it. you may just forget it, considering i have no evidence.)

i'll try to find the other discussion.
Edit: i fear it was on the old forum. :/

Some time ago I noticed that rockets also get deflected when shot at a jump pad, but I am probably the only one who didn't know that .

Mirio, it is all happening so fast in your video, it would be more informative in slowmotion...

Nexuiz is fast!! but yeah , gimme some time ^.^ .
everything bumps on jumppads even the rocket launcher !!

but yeah , gimme some time ^.^ .

15 mins ^^

I believe that you can't deflect a rocket without blowing it up with a laser direct hit, it has to be the splash damage. In the video it looks like he hits the player with the laser, and the rocket gets deflected from the splash.

Hey thx everybody for all the feedback on that rocket deflection. I didn't have time to test it myself during the weekend so I am all impatient to do a lot of rocket defleciton during my next Nexuiz session.

Either I am really noob still or Nexuiz is just so great I keep discovering new things and tricks even after playing for more than half a year.

Maybe both

It's been around 2 years (off and on) for me and I still learn new things.

well, i experimented a bit. what's weird, not only the laser, but also the Electro, Crylink and Hagar can change the direction of a rocket, when fired at somewhere near. Mortar and RocketLauncher would detonate the rockets. i wasn't able to either detonate or deflect the rocket with Nex and only manage once to detonate it with Laser.

considering the differing reports, i assume it has to do with settings.
