Summary

0001010: Option to have respawn invulnerability removed at first shot taken

Description

I was thinking that it could be useful to have a version of respawn invulnerability that is removed if the player shoots. I consider respawn invulnerability only good for gameplay during the time between spawn and getting a decent weapon -- if the newly spawned player starts firing it's not really needed anymore.

This would still be a timed effect, it would be disabled after the respawn invulnerability time is up (I recall it's 2 seconds) or when a player fires his/her weapon, whichever comes first.

This stops the rather unfair kill from getting spawned in front of a rocket or BFG tracer while not creating a scenario where the player can charge at an enemy and attack while taking no damage at all, in a surprise attack their opponent can't really stop.

(0004585) Qent (updater) 2012-09-04 04:41	Why would you want this instead of the current system where your spawn invulnerability turns off as soon as you raise a powerful weapon? IMHO it's worse: respawning players would have 4 or 5 seconds to find a SSG, aim, and fire for a free frag before anyone can even touch them. In the case that this might be useful, you could do it in ACS as Konda already has:'http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=934 [^]'

(0004587) ZzZombo (reporter) 2012-09-04 07:16	What you requested is already implemented in the game, shame you don't know that. Although most servers don't have respawn invulnerability tuned on.

(0004589) jwaffe (reporter) 2012-09-04 15:34	You are correct, this is already in the game in a better way than I suggested. I apologize for the mistake, I am surprised I never noticed that the invulnerability disappeared when switching weapons. You may close / delete this feature suggestion.
