Re: Question about cloak anomaly

In Response To: Question about cloak anomaly (Glenn Close) : One time my friend drove up to a cloak, got out to pick it up, and : immediately got back in. Even though he became cloaked, the cloak was : still on the ground as if it had not been picked up. I tried a bunch of : times to reproduce this, but I could never make it happen again. But, : recently I have had similar anomalies with cloaks and overshields without : a vehicle. I'll pick it and use it, but it will still be on the ground. : I'm not claiming to report something new, I just have a question about : whether I explain it correctly with the following. Cloaks (and : overshields) have a timer for when they pop back on the map after one has : been taken. But, this timer doesn't start when a person takes the cloak, : it is always going. Even if you don't touch the cloak, it will replace : itself over and over - it's just unnoticable because each replacement is : in the same spot as the proceeding cloak. In the case of my friend with : the jeep, he just happened to grab the cloak right before the timer ran : out, and so the replacement popped in right as he picked up the original. : That is also why two people can be cloaked at the same time in : multiplayer. : Does that sound right? : -glenn close : Again, I'm reporting anything new. "Eventually" came sooner than I thought :) Nice work.
