Yeah, unless they've changed the collision detection it doesn't work.
You can still make a big spindly-armed/a giant wall thing and constantly get in everyone's way until the other team shoots you though.

I've never played the game, so I don't know if this'll work, but what if it wasn't a closed cage? Like two arms making a circle?

Somebody in the Robocraft thread got it working months ago. The cage has to be huge to break the collision detection, but it does work.

It either makes it so they can't move at all or the physics spazzes out and flings them away lol

Already getting tears, this is great.

Is there an inbuilt screenshot button?

That's brilliant! Thank you for that excellent idea! As soon as I saw your robot I had to go and make one of my own.



Interesting thing about this. Usually when I cage a bot on the practice field it suicides in less than 30 seconds.

I wonder what Tier that would be placed in now. They changed it up a while back so that flying/hover parts weigh in more on the Tier Points.

Sort of, but they nerfed helium blocks flying range so it drops off before you reach the top of the skybox. Only planes can really get to the top.

Just add a few more boosters to the helium block :ssh:

Someone said in the SB thread that they was tired of how the devs were handling the game or something, another user, Jackard i think, said "Why dont you take that attitude to the game dev thread and see where that gets you" of course he didnt but a few pages later I did.

Rrussom posted:

I was told this would be a better fit in this thread, so here goes.

I'm really loving tired with how long (and how fruitless) the game development phase is. Some time ago, this very forum sold me on a game that was in Development hell for quite some time, for long stretches we'd here NOTHING about it nor would we even get the slightest update, and when it finally did come out did i get the amazing game that the forums AND THE MODS promised me? NO, i got a retarded piece of poo poo that calls itself a "Game" filled with nothing but sexist jokes, toilet humor, and none of the charm from the original games. Plus come to find out, the very mod who shilled for it liked to draw women being turned into toilets, what a loving freak.

Thanks games, Fifty dollars well loving spent, and i hope gamedevs legitimately get shoved in lockers for the rest of their life. and to the former mod, you can go gently caress yourself, you know who you are. :argh:

I think the first 5-10 pages or so it should be acceptable to repost stories people have posted from this thread as a best of the best. But yea, new thread would prob be good at this point.

When I scream and holler and delete the lights in Chemistry and alter one of the chemical machines to only output blood and vomit, it's not because someone's using a recipe list. That just means it's time to punish Chemistry for existing.

The only time I remember you loving with Chem, you changed one of the dispensers so it only gave out blood and added something that exploded HORRIBLY when chilled to the list on one of the others. Was it "reward Chemistry for existing" time that day or what?

Klayboxx posted:

When poop existed you would alter them to only output poop and piss. I remember that quite fondly.

I remember one time a bunch of admins were on and the whole chemistry department was deleted and replaced with a really bad .gif and a BFG was placed inside the .gif and multiple people fell for it.

I'm trying to picture what could possibly qualify as this, and every time all I come up with is a smoking hole open to space in the station where Chemistry once was.

I'll give you a hint, it was immediately after one of Cog's big chemistry updates, where he added in new stuff. :v:

I wish I could find the screencaps on the wiki of the time Pope went absolutely loving apeshit on Chemistry. He murdered all the Chemists, and deleted everything that could potentially be used to do chemistry, even in the kitchen. He sent announcements at each step in this process, getting more and more furious each time someone found some other way to do chemistry on the station. Dozens of people asked "what did the chemists do???" over and over again.

And the next CentCom announcement simply stated: 'THEY EXISTED.'

PopeCrunch posted:

I couldn't figure out how you goatfuckers STILL managed to be terrorists with potato chips and water. YOU FOUND A WAY. I had two coders on IRC combing through reactions trying to figure out exactly how you motherless fucks were managing to make potato chips and water into explosives, and they had no loving idea. It shouldn't have been possible. It couldn't have been possible. I fear for the safety of the world if the people who managed to find a way to do murders with mother loving potato chips and goddamned water ever get recruited by a real world terrorist organization. The headlines the next day will read something like WE'RE ALL hosed: SOME NERD KILLS 3/4 OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION WITH A USED BANDAID AND THE SQUEAKER FROM A DOG TOY. THIS SECURITY PHOTO SHOWS THE SUSPECT PURCHASING A STICK OF GUM. DOES HE WANT FRESH BREATH, OR IS HE FINISHING THE JOB? OUR ONLY CONSOLATION IS THAT WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE IT COMING. FILM AT 11 IF WE'RE LUCKY. OR UNLUCKY. gently caress IT. WHATEVER. -(AP)
