Author Topic: "Heroes" Playertypes  (Read 1371 times)

:D I love this show, Heroes. Too bad they stopped making them :(
But watching it, I saw how cool it would be to have some of these "powers" as player types? Here's the ones I'd mostly like:

Healer-Regenerates 5 health every 5 seconds.
Telepathic-Can see the team chat of the enemy team.
Locator-Has a minimap in which red dots represent enemies.(Not possible)
Shape Shifter-Can look like a teammate of the enemy for 15 seconds.
Radioactive-Hurts enemies just by touching them.

Please make it for me? Free cookies :D  :cookie:

I have never seen the show but the player types seem awesome.

The "See team chat of enemy team" doesn't sound very good, TEAM Chat.

Yeah, I thought of that once I typed it... :/ I'll think of something new I could replace that with.

All are awesome and most are possible.

Healer can easily be done. +1hp per sec
Telepathic could use some work. Nobody ever uses team chat and if they do, it's usually not important.
Locater isn't really possible.
Shape Shifter should work.
Radioactive should work.

Yep, I'm working on Healer right now. :3 It'll probably suck though, because I'm better at modeling.
And with the Locator, I was picturing that all players in the minigame have some sort of mod on them, that acts like a tracker. Each of those trackers are shown as red&blue dots on a grid that's shown on only the Locator playertype's screen. :)
And with the Telepathic, picture how much team chat would be happening in a TDM that had all these playertypes, that had to somehow work together as a team, combining all their talents. That's where the Telepathic would be some sort of "counter", informing their team of the enemies plans. <3 hehe.

No team chat?  Honestly, you are VERY wrong, in TDMs, Team Chat is probably the most used chat, and it IS very important...

At least that's my experience...

In other games, I know the importance of team chat, but usually in BL, people just run around, shoot things and die. Then rinse and repeat.

The locator is not possible. I refer you to the topic on the radar.

I just read it. Oh noes D:

The radar could actually be done if it didn't display the map.

How so?

Playertype asks for the location of every other player
Server responds.
Playertype uses that information and draws a dot inside the radar, based on the other player's position relative to the locator player.

:D That sounds amazing. That would mean the locator would need to understand the coordinates. I love it. <3 Idiot proof.

i read "healer - regenerates 5 health every 5 seconds"

and i thought "what the hell, how pointless is that. it'd take 20 seconds to rengerate to full health, and by that time you wouldnt even have the smallest advantage because the guns in BL are so OP most are practically insta-kill.
