Author Topic: Weapons in Blockland and thou  (Read 6738 times)

It has come to my attention that a lot of weapons in Blockland have hands.
Wait, what? Doesn't the blockhead have hands?
Oh, yes, but they can't fly away six feet from the body and reload a weapon. Duh.

Now, let's look at the benefits with and without flying hands;

With:
  • You reload with your hands
  • ????
  • Look at me I can animate & script
  • asdf

Without:
  • Looks badass
  • No hand bugs
  • Easier to animate & script
  • You get to choose hands

Which makes it equal. So it's up to you to decide.

Of course, I have my own personal opinion on the matter:

i used to do this all the time. then i realized it just looks dumb

I honestly am fine with weapons with hands on them - it's sometimes necessary for intense reload animations.

can you add a both on the poll?

Hands suck on guns. So does ammo but you know that's another story ^_^

It's not easier to model, it's easier to animate and script though.

My reason:

None of the default stuff has it.

So, it is so much better with no hands.

People get bitchy anyways, best to avoid that.

I think hands look awesome in first person but you do bring up a valid point about looking odd from third person or if someone else can see you but otherwise I like hands.

I always felt they were awkward. Glad I'm not the only one

It still just looks stupid if the hands are the length of a blockhead away, even if you reload correctly.

You shouldn't want both. They don't fit together.

ok, thanks

Good reason!

Propane and propane accessories.

Anyway, hand are stupid on guns unless the hand is in reach of the arm it's "attached" to. People hate hands because the hand seems waaay to far from the arm and it looks handicapped. Technically, where the hands rest on a normal playermodel is the full extent of the arm. You are technically stretching your arm when you add a hand to the model.

I would vote both on the poll if there was that option.

Blockland-That Game Where You Hold A Shotgun With One Hand Like A Badass.

I hate hands. They look awful, wierd, and you cant choose the color of them.

They're pretty good when you have a minigame on with a first person player type :/
