Title: New Units?
Post by: General_Hoohah on June 15, 2009, 11:40:22 PM
Manson mentioned something to me about new units in the new patches? I'm guessing its PB5? If so, where are they? Do I have to use a specific variant?

Heavy Jackal
Heavy Avenger

I tried the enforcer... and all the keysettings are screwed up! Whats wrong with it!?

Think of it as a hovering assault tank.  A and D are used to turn it while the mouse controls the turret.

Your basically piloting an assualt tank, except hovering.

Sorry, but I think that is completely idiotic. Its too confusing, and it doesn't work for players who change their keyboard layout. I use the number pad. I also tried using those keys after a player told me that, and they didn't work. They didn't do anything. Why didn't they just make it work like a normal hover tank? Don't you think it would have been a lot less confusing? I tried building it, and no one else could drive it in the game.

The point of it is it is a hovering assault tank.  It is basically an Assault Tank that can go over water instead of being one that will sink and die.

If you are having issues with this unit, then Assault Tanks and Walkers should give you the same issue.

It also can play the part of a short defender if need be.

I typically load it with slugs and use it as an assault unit.

GH, if you want a fun new tank, use the Heavy Sabre instead.

I like that tank, but the enforcer has some bugs. I don't have the same problem with the assault tanks or the rocket tank. I press all the direction keys and all it does is drift east no matter what direction I face. Its messed up.

Does the Assault Sabre do the same or the Assault Avenger?  If so, there may be a bug in the Hover Assault code.

They either come on it by default or can be loaded in the factory console.
Title: Re: New Units?
Post by: Commando on June 16, 2009, 07:17:35 PM
They are in the GreenHeart variant and Commando Variant under supplies.

So who fixes it?
Title: Re: New Units?
Post by: Commando on June 16, 2009, 08:30:57 PM
The unit worked fine when I last tested it so we need more information from you.  Like I asked earlier, do the other two hover assault units act up in the same way?  If so, that would point to an issue in bz2.  If only that unit acts up, that would point to a model issue.

Unit works fine on my end. AI drives it as normal too.

GH, go into SHIFT+F3 view, and you will see why it does what it does. ALSO, turn ON the turret compass in the escape menu. That will help a lot, it puts a compass in the centre of youre HUD that shows where youre turret is facing in relation to the body of the unit. Pressing 'C' also centers the view.

Hull Rotation: Controlled by A & D keys (default). Hover Assault vehicles CANNOT strafe.
Turret Rotation: Controlled by moving the mouse.
Movement: W, S & E as normal.

I love hover assault tanks. The enforcer works normally...nothing's wrong with BZ2.

Post by: Clavin12 on June 17, 2009, 01:48:52 PM
BTW, i got into a GH map set to comando varient three and slug was not avaliable ecept in heavy assault tanks. Any help?
Title: Re: New Units?
Post by: Commando on June 17, 2009, 04:10:37 PM
You can only use slug on the Enforcer or Heavy Assault Tank.
Title: Re: New Units?
Post by: cheesepuffly on June 17, 2009, 05:41:08 PM
The slug is pwnsauce. ALL BOW BEFORE THE SLUG
Title: Re: New Units?
Post by: Commando on June 17, 2009, 05:46:51 PM
I intentionally limited the slug to only the Enforcer and the Heavy Assault Tank.
