Bomb Disarming

no not anywhere, just where the map designer wants it to be possible. a cube or a sphere might not fit always...

...That's where multiple cubes come into the game :)
I'm sure it's not hard to define an area with cubes ::)

So you want like a big 'squiggle' shape :D? Cant a radius only be circular, as each point has to be the same distance from the centre? It only makes sense if its circular, as like i said, the whole 'edge' of a circle is the same distance from the center.

I really do struggle with people like you sometimes, if you had read what I said before you would have noticed I thought shooting out bombs isn't unbalanced, not the system of bomb placement. Ã,¬_Ã,¬

A little off topic but I wanted to ask a couple of things. I a have question about grenades, but first what kind of grenade launcher are the Mercs in CT: Versus using anways?.

If a hand held throw-able frag grenade explodes and scatters shrapnel then what about the under mounted grenade launcher on a rifle? Is that frag or HE? Is it common to have frag variants for under mounted launchers or is HE the standard?

[VaNilla]

I would say it's a frag grenade.

stone, i'm not responding to you only XD

They don't say it specifically I think. The US uses the M203 HE rifle grenade for all their rifle mounted needs. The ones that the mercenaries use has a timed fuse instead of blowing up on impact. I don't know whether such a model actually exist but its not at all a stretch.
And yes radius only applies to circles and spheres.
With a square, not all the edges are the same distance away from the center.

Do you mean a cube?  Not a square?  I'm pretty sure that in a square all edges are the exact same length from the center.  Actually, aren't cubes the same way?  Trying to visualize this at 1 AM in the morning.

It's imposibble for a square or cube to be the same distance from the center, purely because it has corners, which means all the corners of the square will be slightly furthur away from the centre. Thats why circles would only work IMO.

...if we still are talking about a radius.
If it's an area, the devs just as well can introduce a new variable, which would allow/ disallow bombs to be set on a given object/ surface, overruling the set 'bombing volume'.
IMO this would prevent the horrible hiding of bombs ::)

Ahh... and Papa... Circles would work only on 2d games ;p

[VaNilla]

I don't see any balance issue.

u must be blind...

Actaully Rambo your a liar you were responding to me :P.

[Gawain]

yeah, in the first line only, idiot. that's why i left a space between that and the rest, but you obviously never heard anything about structuring a text cause you are even unable to create a little list...

*note the free space*
wow so we know the difference between a circle, a rectangular, a sphere and a cube now. i'm really impressed of you geniouses  ::)

listen to me and cockfan if you want it to look realistic and be balanced...

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Rambo is mean...  :(

Oh dear, I had no idea that these forums had such a lack of basic geometry knowledge...
