Wound Opening

Post by NoahKirchner » 14 Jan 2017, 10:08

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): When injured people are grabbed instead of dragged, have it smear blood on the floor.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): More atmosphere (aliens dragging off an injured marine just to see blood smears and then a mutilated corpse)

A visual indicator beyond text that you're opening someone's wounds as you drag them across the floor

Marines will want to scream OH SHIT GOT HELP ME PLEASE AGH *blood curdling scream then yelp* when they see their blood being smeared across the floor of what was once his cryo chamber, but is now an alien safehouse full of horrors.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): When someone's wounds have the chance to open when being moved, also have it smear blood across the floor with 'em for every tile they move.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Spriting and coding, fo-sho.

I mean, hell yeah. The intial drops into LV are very thematic with the blood smeared across all the domes, and the mutilated corpses you find.

Would it bog the server down? That's the question. If not, then +1 from me.

+1 Give this a chance to also cause infections
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

+1 so i know not to follow the blood trails to get ambushed by a Huggner.

That one old man that USED to run around as Engineer building retarded table forts and developing relationships on a questionable level with sentry turrets. Now I run around as someone equally stupid, doing equally stupid shit as a Medic. Oh and Pookie, that's also me.

http://prntscr.com/grdigl I totally succeeded in that btw, it was a badass kick-flip.

I do agree this would be both a visual and gameplay improvement. So as shocking as it is to agree with Noah, +1
