CTF idea- triangulation gun?

Instantly kills the carrier (no matter how much health he has)

There is (imo, stupid) minstanex which does similar thing.

I meant insta kills you, the carrier of the weapon, hence 'self-destruct'. Minstanex doesn't kill yourself, it kills others And the self-destruct wasn't insta kills anyone in the area of effect as the damage would rapidly fade away.

But that doesn't matter now anyway, I like torus refined idea that you can tag someone and blow him up, necessarily killing him but damaging a lot at least

PS. I brought this 'self destruct' up as a joke. But if people actually likes it or have some other similar ideas (like Torus) then go for it

[Alien]

Now, I see what you meant. But self-destruct would be useless in DM.

I don't think this gun belong in dm at all.

[torus]

No, of course not. Only CTF or ONS or Assault.

So, right now the consensus seems to be a gun which fires a projectile, which latches onto an enemy. The projectile pings the enemy's position on the team's radar, until you either fire another one (it detaches), or you right click (it explodes in a wide damage radius, powerful blast).

The question is, how fast would the projectile be, and how would it behave? I was thinking something that moved a bit faster and straighter than the Mortar, but not as fast or straight as the laser bolt.

Hmm, it would be funnier if the marked person acted as a bait and you could release semi intelligent creatures (would need a model) which would go after him (like headcrabs/bugs from hl multiplayer). We already have wasps (tzork seeker)

[ai]

It's too similar to the Seeker, and pretty much a complete ripoff from HL. But I DID like those bugs in HL, fun stuff

[torus]

Yea, I like my idea better Bugbait can stay in HL2.

Your idea is good, but there is flaw in logic. If the bomb is sticked to the player, it is strange that it disappears if you mark another one.

Bugs, crossfire and nuclear launch

Why is it strange? I suppose that's really just a matter of balancing- whether or not it stays. The other options are:

• It could just stay on the player, and all of the would be detonated at once.

• It could detonate if you fire another one.
