[QUOTE=NeoDement;39451370][img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/900111/sentrybusta.PNG[/img][/QUOTE] So...wait. What if it tried to explode?

[QUOTE=AbeX300;39451574]So...wait. What if it tried to explode?[/QUOTE] It would explode, with an uber texture. Just because it's ubered doesn't mean it's invincible.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;39451592]Just because it's ubered doesn't mean it's invincible.[/QUOTE] Uhh...

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;39451592]It would explode, with an uber texture. Just because it's ubered doesn't mean it's invincible.[/QUOTE] Point taken. [QUOTE=Manibogi;39451724]Uhh...[/QUOTE] Pits.

[QUOTE=Manibogi;39451724]Uhh...[/QUOTE] There are some types of damage that are dealt regardless of uber status. Intense fall damage (either from actually falling or a map entity), telefrags, self-imposed damage, and being forcefully killed through console commands.

Problem solved.

[QUOTE=Manibogi;39451776]Okay then, I'll assume the Sentry Buster uses the explode command when near a Sentry. Problem solved.[/QUOTE] It's not the explode command, it's something more like the Kamikaze killtaunt. However, since it's not actually a taunt, just an animation that is lumped with the other taunts, it's triggered automatically when its health reaches 0 or when it gets close enough to its target.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;39451370] [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/900111/sentrybusta.PNG[/img] [/QUOTE] makes me wonder if the Red version of the sentry buster looks the same as the one on the last page.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;39451840]Also, the Sentry Buster uses all of the Demobot's animations (which explains why the Demobot acts all weird when using the Ullapool Caber, which is what the Sentry Buster uses).[/QUOTE]The Sentry Buster is just a giant Demoman robot with a Caber, and a different model. The Caber being equipped is a flag for the AI to path itself like the Buster does. They even use the same hitboxes. You can headshot the Busters by shooting where the head would be, because it's technically still there.

you ask way too many questions [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/900111/sentrybusta2.PNG[/img]

Wasn't supposed that the update will be release today ? :|

I remember a common bug in wave 666, the Giant Rapid Fire Demomen would sometimes appear as a Sentry Buster. Usually it'd be the last one in the group. [quote][quote]on a side note, has anyone noticed the buster demoman on the last line of rapid-firers? It seems to happen all the time [img]http://www.sourceop.com/hell-met/TF2/busterdemo.jpg[/img][/quote] I noticed that and picked up my sentry and got near it to try to trigger it to arm itself before backing away. It hit me with a pipebomb instead. [/quote] Fun times. [editline] February 2 2013[/editline] Fucking a, neo.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;39451890]They even use the same hitboxes. You can headshot the Busters by shooting where the head would be, because it's technically still there.[/QUOTE] Love how they still haven't fixed that.

Wai u ignore

[QUOTE=Batmans;39452370]Wai u ignore[/QUOTE] Before you keep complaining: [QUOTE=NeoDement;39377351][img]http://fm.cnbc.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/img/editorial/2011/08/23/39759149-flight_delayed_sign_200.240x160.jpg[/img] Small announcement: The TF2 Robotic Boogaloo's planned release date is now [B]next sunday (3rd February)[/B] rather than this sunday (today). This was unavoidable for several reasons. Expect bodygrouped robots by Tuesday, you'll recieve a pre-release of these to help make workshop thumbnails with in an email.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=hogofwar;39452425]I didn't know normal fall damage damaged ubers, huh.[/QUOTE] Unless you're already super weak, you'll almost never die from it because the healing will usually be enough to save you unless you somehow manage to propel yourself at a speed that will do a sufficient amount of damage when you smack the gravel with your face.

Assume that plans fell through and it will come out whenever it likes.

Well, I'm surprised Danger21 managed to finish this, honestly: [T]http://uppix.net/3/a/d/8d5a74c8bb9f560de220cfe6fc610.png[/T] The only problem is that paint doesn't work. He apparently already fixed this, I don't know why he sent me the broken version, but I'll try my best to sort this out before the update hits.

[QUOTE=Inspecter;39452683]Would look better if had the same colors as the u-clanka.[/QUOTE] Stop repeating yourself, I already told you that it's hard to communicate with Danger21, and even then, I doubt there's enough time to re-do the entire texture and part of the model.

[QUOTE=Manibogi;39452707]re-do the entire texture and part of the model.[/QUOTE] Um, what would need to be re-done model wise?

[QUOTE=Inspecter;39452806]Um, what would need to be re-done model wise?[/QUOTE] A rim around the cross would have to be added, and the cross itself would probably have to be shrunken a little.

[QUOTE=Manibogi;39453270]A rim around the cross would have to be added, and the cross itself would probably have to be shrunken a little.[/QUOTE] it could just have similar colors, it doesn't need the rim.

And while you're at it move the head more to the left so it's centered in the image. Thanks

so I don't get it are these late contributions getting in or what I only refrained because it was too late but if there's still time to get stuff in the update I might want to

Yeah they'll mostly be getting in [editline]3rd February 2013[/editline] Please don't make hundreds though, that would be annoying
