Idle Crouching

Got a great new idea for the game?

Idle Crouching

Postby ElFizbanio » Thu Aug 30, 2012 11:14 pm

I was thinking of two new kv6 models what might be nice if they were added to the game,
called "legcidle.kv6" and "torsocidle.kv6"*

It would show up when you are not moving while crouching,
a short example of this can be found here : http://i.imgur.com/Ve4IC.png (and yes I did)

This would make the player higher when he is in the state of "idle crouch" therefore making more vurnable.
It also would give him a slight height advantage and would make him move like a sentry turret.

OR

The client would use torsoc.kv6 instead of the normal torso.kv6, making it unnoticeable to the player itself, making it only cosmetic to the other players to notice.

So let's discuss this now.


*could otherwise use "torsoc" or just "torso"

it's an okay idea, and I like the idea of being able to sort of peek up from behind cover, but the idea of idle crouching making the player more vulnerable seems like a lost cause. There's really nothing preventing a player from just coruch-walking in circles. Even still, it could add a bit of depth to the game.

I was thinking that being in idle crouch would make you able to peek over two block high cover.

I like this idea. It would make sense if you were supressing fire or using the RPG.

No support, itd be really jarring in gameplay to try to shoot someone only for the screen to go flying up because you stopped moving.

The screen could go up slowly to compensate that.

I am not sure if I support it, the crouch animation is too cute for it to be changed

It would show up when you are not moving while crouching,


How do would you be able to duck behind cover? You can't just keep moving or else your head will poke out.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

Okay then, the client could just use the playertorsoc.kv6 for "idle crouching", so maybe then it wouldn't be so gamechanging experience but only just a cosmetic thingy.

Nah, you're idea is all good. Tapping the crouch button should make you go on "Idle crouching" mode, holding it would make you crouch normally, and releasing it would return you to idle crouching, and tapping it again would make you stand back up.

So tap Ctrl once for idle, hold Ctrl for real crouch? Yea that sounds good.
Also, me liek ur idea.
