Re: Vehicle Health

In Response To: Re: Vehicle Health (pete_the_duck) : Thanks for finding that! Given the top two bullet points, I'll be happy to : transition to the new system (as the beta made 'em feel pretty weak--but I : hear what you guys are saying about the perpetual warthog/banshee : situation where the driver barely escapes and then comes back w/ full : health). My wishful interpretation of the BWU post: - Warthog has 200 health. (compared to a player having 100 health) - Any damage taken reduces that health. Vulnerable areas (i.e. tires) cause health to drop faster. - Depending on how close it is to the player, vehicle damage transfers. - Vehicles only explode when the vehicle health hits 0, otherwise the driver just dies and the vehicle remains. So if a player hops in a brand new Warthog and it takes 100 points of damage from DMR fire, the player dies but the Warthog still has 100/200 points of health left for the next person that hops in. If the first driver is smart, he can find cover to let his own shields recharge, but the vehicle's overall health remains the same. So if the Scorpion had 300 health the player could take 75 damage (300 -> 225) and then find cover to let his shield recover (from 25 to 100). He can do this 2 more times (225 -> 150 -> 75), but the 4th time it happens (75 -> 0) the Scorpion explodes regardless of the player health. The vehicle would only have to catch on fire (or visibly show damage some other way) once it drops below 100 health, to signal to the driver that it has less than 1 Spartan's worth of health remaining and he runs the risk of exploding before his personal shields give out.
