Terrain Pack: Shrub-blockade

[KingMob4313]

The shrub-blockade was the final straw on why I'll finally be putting melee weapons in my mod.  Pull out the trusty machete, or combat-saw and get to work, squaddie!

Will there be punching as well? That's the one thing, I'm missing. There's that little f***er of a Sectoid standing right next to you. Why not knock him over with bare hands? -> Not implemented. =)

Umm, melee weapons can't damage terrain, sadly. But ranged weapons with range 1 (like chainsaws and hammers in Piratez) work fine.

My dream for the past 18 years.

If punching is possible it opens up the possibility of kicking as well, most special forces do some kind of martial art and then you could also have knuckle dusters.

Well, the specific way to kick their butts isn't exactly the central point. =) One could as well strangle them. However: That also opens the possibility of aliens doing the same to the soldiers. I could think of a Muton being quite a problem, even without any arms...

Tell that to a bunch of weaponless aliens. =)

Interesting. Glad there was a way to do it without having to do go and change the codebase again.

It's the Revenge of the Shrub mwahahaha

It's the Revenge of the Shrub mwahahaha

Seriously?

Shrub feast!

[7Saturn]

The only thing missing would be a unit, looking exactly like one of those shrubs. With Chryssalid-mechanics. Melee, result will be another shrub...

[SIMON BAILIE]

Has anyone developed a shrub monster yet?

With 0 movement, a huge reaction stat and no LOFT settings so that it wouldn't be noticed as an enemy unit. Then, when a soldier walked next to it... *shurbify*

[7Saturn]

Yeah, just like that! =)
