Does anyone think TTT should have a ability to go prone? Some uses of it would be able to stay hidden in places that have short walls and traitors would be able to follow people and not be seen in some situations.
this isn't call of duty
It doesn't have to be Call of Duty to have prone.

It's not a feature of the Source engine, and building it in is a terrible idea from a programmer's point of view.
How is it a terrible idea? It could be useful in some situations.

Because the engine isn't meant for this. Implementing it, especially when only using Lua, will involve countless hacks.
Like what? You wouldn't be able to shoot when you're in prone, and if you use a hack, it will probably be detectable.

A hack in this case means a piece of computer code providing a quick or inelegant solution to a particular problem. [sp]definition totally not ripped from google[/sp]

I'm pretty sure in Day Of Defeat: Source you had the ability to go prone.
Also on the waywo thread I saw plenty of prone scripts, it's possible infact, the only issues are the lacking of player model animations and the usage of hacky code.

I mean what would the hack do?
Jesus... A "hack" is a term for bad code which is written to reach the end goal by all costs. Implementing probe would require hacky code

if anything prone is a bad idea from a gameplay standpoint because it'll just increase the bullshittery and hiding spots. also, it would just be an animation from DoD if you're gonna add it it
Going prone, especially with diving, would be pretty fun in a non-serious game but for most things that involves shootouts I agree with Soren.
The only gamemodes I can imagine it being useful without resulting in unfair advantages/disadvantages are hide and seek and my tag gamemode.
But it mostly depends on the map really.
I have a prone addon....except I cannot redistribute it.
It's not that big of a deal, it doesnt really benefit much.
Do you have a video of it in action?

Think about you being on a riverbank. You've got a ton of tools and stuff that allow you to build some cool stuff. The "hack" in this context is where you use the tools you've got to build a raft here. It's going to be ugly as shit, break a hell of a lot and absolutely disgustingly awful to try and use - better to stay on bank unless you *need* to leave.

Thank you for a helpful insight into the addons that you have.
[QUOTE=Baron von Hax;47895203]Thank you for a helpful insight into the addons that you have.[/QUOTE]
Yep, "all welcomes". Ugh, awful comment previously made aside, I am not taking credit I fixed it. If you know who made it, you would obviously know why I should not redistribute it. Learned it the hard way. Well, I'm going to shut up on this thread as now I'm talking off topic and not making any note worthy or non-cringey comments.

I have the damnedest feeling you're an ideas guy that assumes that we can code anything we want just because we know how lua works.
[QUOTE]Uh, hey guys, i have an addon that'll fix this but i cant show you because its not my work[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Exploderguy;47896657][/QUOTE]
it is indeed not my work and you made my day. *cough* "a shade of pink" *cough*
And not that I want to sound even more abysmal, it was on workshop for a day or two. But at that time, I didn't know about the "issues" it would cause, and now I know.

Yes it is. Day of Defeat: Source? The animations are even loaded into GMod.
DoD:S Animations don't play on GMOD Playermodels, though? I tried that when I was futzing about with SNPCs.
IIRC, Day of Defeat: Source has different rigs for models. Do not take my word for it though. I just remember something like that being bitched about in the WAYWO thread.

Either release or don't release. Stop bringing it up if you don't plan on releasing it.

it's zoey's prone from gmod 12
he's just trying to swagger about because he has addons that aren't readily available to the general public.
if i had it i would post but but alas I don't
Well, if anything, is there anyway I could at least contact Daniel only?

I don't think he said anywhere that you aren't allowed to redistribute it so nothing is stopping you from releasing whatever version of it you have.

I think you can share it, but I remember being told "not for the public's grasp."
