In Response To: Re: Anyone seen this? Weirdness on Sandtrap *longi (Simpsons Rule)


: No, it definitely wasn't a secondary explosion. Somehow while building a map
: on Sandtrap, one of the Mongoose's spawn points appeared on the very
: edge of the map, way further than the invisible barrier. We're not quite
: sure how exactly it got there, but the spawn point for the Mongoose was a
: good 15 feet in the air and the Mongoose would spawn, fall down, explode
: due to the mines, and respawn again.

: Anyway, we had invested a decent amount of time in the map and didn't want to
: re-start building it, so we tried very hard to delete it. We ended up
: trying to push a teleporter receiver node past the invisible barrier which
: meant having to deal with the mines a lot . In Monitor mode we were
: 'invincible' and had full overshields to help us survive as long as
: possible. Psychophan7 kept saying there were 'tracer rounds' hitting him
: and killing him. I kept telling him it was the mines.

: He insisted.

: Adding the frustration of trying to survive the mines, adding the teleporter,
: and me not believing him, he finally went into theater mode and captured a
: short clip showing it to me. It appeared exactly as the screenshots Burr
: has posted.

: My best guess is that the likelihood of seeing these 'lasers' increases the
: closer to the edge of the invisible barrier you get. Since most people who
: reach that invisible barrier aren't standing still, it's not very likely
: people would notice easily. Perhaps they were originally intended to take
: out flying vehicles but when the idea was scrapped, instead of removing it
: from the code it was just easier to reduce the area in which the lasers
: would be effective.

: So, rather than the lasers taking out anything from 0 - 100 feet in the air,
: it was changed to 0 - 10 feet. *shrug* It could be a lot of things I
: guess, but the definitely still do damage.

: -SR

This is really interesting. I don't suppose you still have that clip? If you don't, would it be difficult for me to get someone out there so that I could experience this firsthand?
