Super bow

[MARBLE MAN]

I was looking back at old blockland when i stumbled upon this:
//function BowItem::onUse(%this, %player, %InvPosition)
//{
//   //check for quiver
//   //if you dont have it, regular bow
//   //if you do, super bow
//
//   %client = %player.client;
//
//   %mountPoint = %this.image.mountPoint;
//   %mountedImage = %player.getMountedImage(%mountPoint);
//
//
//   if(%mountedImage)
//   {
//      if(%mountedImage == bowImage.getId() || %mountedImage == superbowImage.getId())
//      {
//         //some kind of bow mounted so, unmount it
//         %player.unMountImage(%mountPoint);
//         messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', -1);
//         %player.currWeaponSlot = -1;
//      }
//      else
//      {
//         //something other than bow mounted, so do bow selection and mount
//         if(%player.getMountedImage($BackSlot))
//         {
//            if(%player.getMountedImage($BackSlot) == quiverImage.getId())
//            {
//               %player.mountimage(superBowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
//               messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
//               %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
//            }
//            else
//            {
//               %player.mountimage(bowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
//               messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
//               %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
//            }
//         }
//         else
//         {
//            %player.mountimage(bowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
//            messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
//            %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
//         }
//      }
//      
//   }
//   else
//   {
//      //nothing mounted so do bow selection and mount
//      //something other than bow mounted, so do bow selection and mount
//      if(%player.getMountedImage($BackSlot))
//      {
//         if(%player.getMountedImage($BackSlot) == quiverImage.getId())
//         {
//            %player.mountimage(superBowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
//            messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
//            %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
//         }
//         else
//         {
//            %player.mountimage(bowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
//            messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
//            %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
//         }
//      }
//      else
//      {
//         %player.mountimage(bowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
//         messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
//         %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
//      }
//   }
//}

Interesting, have you been able to find the superbow anywhere else?

This was used in Blockland v0002, I think the Bow (and other weapons in the original RTB mod) had a slightly faster firing rate when you had a quiver on. Most of that is to do with the original Blockland/Torque engine item select methods (Press a number to use and the same number to put away instead of the scroll bar)

So that's where the myth of the quiver and bow came from..

Yep, what Space Guy said.
If you look at the armor and helmet you'll notice they buff your health, too.

The armor and helmet still buff you're health our just back in ye olden day

[Spite]

I think hes asking if the armor and helmet still do that today or if just back then.
