Temporary zone that deflects projectiles
The Titanium:
I've been thinking about how I'd improve my edited TF2 Flamethrower, but it turned out using the deflector script for the alt fire was not a very good idea.
It became extremely difficult to 'deflect' using this as even deflecting relatively slow rockets had to be highly accurate in timing, right as the rocket was in range, the blast had to be shot. There can't be any preemptive striking.
Sorry for just begging the community, but can anyone give me an example of what a script that produces a zone that deflects projectiles like the deflector and deletes said zone after a specified time?

I thought the deflector script worked pretty fine when implented in the fglamethrower add-on.
I tried it, works fine to me.
Deflecting isn't just something, it needs more skill then the flaming.

i'd suggest being able to use continous fire for deflecting, that way it's like a sheild

lordician, you see, in TF2 I can recall being able to blast with my compressed air moments before the projectile was in my face
i'm really just trying to make it more user friendly
also i should note that im using a specialized ammo mod for this, and how much ammo is used is not equal to the usefulness of the alt fire at the moment

That's true.
But maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it? :P
