Hey; I was wondering if It were possible to create a MOD that shows the current "charge state" of the Obelisk.
Why? Because in certain maps you can obviously nuke PP/Refs/Air Etc by taking cover behind rocks and using Light-poles to obstruct line of sight between you and the Obelisk - allowing you to do Ion / c4 buildings Etc.
I'm not sure if it's just me, but occasionally the wait-time for the obelisk to "De-Charge" (It has to charge again to fire) after it's seen you varies. I could swear that you wait out the exact amount of time for it to de-charge hiding behind a rock, only to run out and get shot; and yet other times it charges again.
I was thinking that it could be shown like a gauge running up the 4 corners of the obelisk as shown in the Pic. Once it reaches the peak, the OB fires.
It can be argued that you could just sit there for 20 seconds or so and this mod would be useless; as the OB would of de-charged by then. However, the longer you sit there, the greater the chance of someone finding you. If you see an opportune moment and run out, knowing the OB has to re-charge, chances of success are alot higher.
Another argument will be "Zomg advantage / hax0rz!" - which I agree it is, but I'll wait and see as to what people say of it yet, let alone if it even is possible to make.

as great an idea it sounds... i wouldn't use this
i believe its fine the way it is
also such a thing would be highly controversial?
|
I did mention that it might be conroversial. You wouldn't use this because you'd feel it's too much of advantage?

The ob charging time is bugged indeed. After it charges the first time and doesn't shoot, it stays charged up. This seems to be a bug. BI fixed this server side already. Maybe they can explain how they figured it to be a bug (code wise)?
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

exactly the reason its retarded if you get to actually see how charged it is instead of judging by sound and timing without seeing. i do hate the charge and stay charge thing though...

"Obi auto fire" and it's gayness is completely uncool. Especially when it charges on some1 else, then auto-fires on you. It causes 35% of Renegade rage-quits you know?

It'd be a fucking useless defense otherwise, and people would abuse the hell out of it.

. It's clearly a glitch, and was not meant to remain charged, or semi-charged. It wouldn't be abused because that's the way it was meant to be...you can't abuse something that is meant to work like it is. You can however get fucked by an obi auto fire. Yet for some reason George Zimmer was for the pointsfix, because it was a glitch fixed. Oh...the irony.
