can squad spawn be coded to blow up if placed into an object?

jackal22 · Post by **jackal22** » 2007-03-20 22:36

it was really unfair playing sunset city as US and having a chinese squad stick their spawn point into the building. which meant we had to devote a whole squad to just sit and watch for any spawners.

worst thing is being acused of spawn camping - well if we cant destroy your spawn we are not going to let you just run to our flag un-hindered.

I have seen this happening all over the place now. quite a few SLs are it seems actively trying to jam their spawn into bridges and walls to stop them being destroyed.

Throw a slam onto the side of the building, or C4. It'll get it.

i hear you jackal, iv seen alot of RP glitching of late. where the RP is hiden. its not really that realistic hiding backpacks inside a mountain or wall. hope this will be addressed in 0.6

well sometimes people do it in mountains on accident. in buildings its super lame though.

This works or I usualy just blanket the area in grenades. It is cheap however as it still takes a while to try and figure out what wall it is hidden in.

This will be fixed in 0.6

Haven't you heard? Our soldiers in RL already teleport to a pile of bags placed inside cement walls....

Whats worse is when youre in a squad with a veteran or well known players and they do it. Its really a shame that people dont have the self discipline to not abuse something that is very obviously a bug

I do try and hide my RPs in bushes. Personally I don't see a problem with that, but walls or terrain are a no no.

Does anyone else have an opinion on hiding your spawn in bushes?

Setting 'em up in bushes is great of course. You don't want to have them right in the open, you want to hide them. But placing them in a wall is considered 'cheating' (or exploiting).

Though it happened to me a couple of times when I didn't even intend to place it in a wall

I have to fess to dropping RP's into walls, but not by intent. I try to keep the RP out of sight which usually means in cities close to walls.

I have ordered our own rp naded before when it does happen, but it breaks my heart to do it.

Under bushes etc seem fair play to me, its within the valid playerspace.

I'm always trying to put my RP on some hidden place (bushes are excellent) but I will never try to glitch it into some wall or terrain.
But what happens in game is something different. Yesterday, for example, I've tried to put my RP behind a tree on EJOD, but RP ended inside the tree, and that is not first time. That thing (RP) almost never ends where I want it. Sometimes RP spawns in front of me, sometimes behind me, just wherever he wants.

I think that this is the main RP problem, cause I see that I'm not the only one which RP don't want to listen.

if most of its visible then its just about ok, but if you stash it in bushes fair gaem they are there for concealment. I just get pissed when they put them inside hard structures.

Purposely placing into buildings is very lame and IMO borderline cheating

Accidentally (Placing in a knook or cranny) is alright, I mean not really ur fault

Putting it in bushes, behind hills etc. is just great tactics. Obviously you want to hide it and bushes are perfect.

i am the master of random spawn point locations.

some times they get stuck in walls but usually some part of it is showing. i often put them inside of dumpsters, the dumpsters that have a door on them and is usually just barley open so you can get a nade in it but you cant see into it.

you can blow it up, but i will make you work for it.
