Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted October 30, 2014 Totem Arts Staff Posted October 30, 2014 This happened once on Walls. I blocked the main entrance with a Mammoth when a (drunk) harvester came out to harvest more Tiberium. Since usually they just end up running my tank over, I just stay still. Turns out this was a big mistake All in a sudden, the damn harvester flips my 1500 credits tank over, carrying it and jettisoned me. It survived at 4%, but was stolen by a Nod, only to be blown up in the next second Damn harvester needs tweaks. It's supposed to give us credits, not waste it
Kriemhild Gretchen Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Perhaps you should try getting out of the way when the harvester comes in.
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted October 30, 2014 Author Totem Arts Staff Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, maybe. That's what I did later on. Usually it only happened to the much smaller tanks, while the harv only drive over the Mammoth. Plus I was aiming outside, so I didn't see it coming
Truxa Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Perhaps you should try getting out of the way when the harvester comes in. +1 Even though on maps like Walls and Islands defending the main entrance with 2 tanks (be it 2 mammies or 2 meds or 1 each) is a great SBH detection method. But in both cases, they also block vehicles leaving the base. Besides, SBHs can still enter the base detected, 2 mammoths might not kill them, only damage them beyond 50%. As they are too slow to chase (and unwise if other SBHs are waiting) the guarding tanks are at a mercy of other fellow defenders doing their jobs
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted October 30, 2014 Author Totem Arts Staff Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, I know. It was for APC rush blocker. Besides, SBH can still enter through the tunnel. Which will prompt me to use APC guarding the tunnels in both Island and Field (except Nod for Field. The blocker sucks there) Even so, this is just wrong in every way possible
RypeL Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Lesson learned: Move out of the way, the harv is an animal to fear
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted October 30, 2014 Author Totem Arts Staff Posted October 30, 2014 LOL, Harvesters in RenX ate too much Tiberium I wonder if we can do that to enemy vehicle too. We can drive over them, but can we flip them over?
RypeL Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 No you shouldnt be able to flip other vehicles. With stock UDK physics this was possible but we added some tweaks to prevent that. Your vehicle basically looses traction when you get in contact with another vehicle. But this rules dont count for the harvesters so that it cant be blocked that easily.
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted October 31, 2014 Author Totem Arts Staff Posted October 31, 2014 Sooo, instead of you destroying the Harvester, the Harvester can actually destroy you... Only in RenX : A Harvester is more dangerous than the most dangerous war machines
RypeL Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Man... a harvester flipped you one time. Get over it. It never ever happened to me and i never saw it happening. First world problems. If we would have nothing else to look into this might be on the list but atm there are lots of other things that are much more important.
