Airstrike beacon stuck


(stealth6) #1

Somebody on the enemy team threw an airstrike beacon and it got stuck in the corner spinning really fast.

They are far to bouncy many times I wanted to throw it just infront of the tank but instead had it bounce into and roll away from and it still didn’t go off anyway

talking beacon ,i think if throw to close of EV and Ev running over it ,there wont be any airstrike …have to test again to be really sure

Looks like it is stuck between the geometry, pretty much like in this thread with medic/ammo-packs, mines => http://forums.warchest.com/showthread.php/33637-Medic-Ammo-packs-stuck-when-thrown-at-right-angle-and-geometry

Airstrike beacons i also tried, but gave up really quickly. The chances are pretty slim you will throw it exactly like shown in the pic (into the right spot).

Taking a vague guess and say it is an engine problem.

Ye I also tried to reproduce it, but seems like a very lucky throw. I mentioned it since I think the airstrike also didn’t go off, it just kept spinning.

Would be nice for an alternative throw like in ET:QW, you could roll nades and such as well as throw them.

It has the same bouncy abilities like the Lobster in Brink :D, to bouncy for me too :smiley:

+1, no need, trowing the beacon under the EV would not call an air strike. I don’t know if this is a bug or was intended from the start. A sticky beacon would be nice :D, to stick it on players and watch them run to cover, or to other players = team wipe :smiley: (~Brink Sticky Bomb)

This one refused to explode =>


Made it happen two times in a row when i was alone at server, but as i wanted to demonstrate this didn’t work again. I threw the marker on the MG nest and let it bounce to this place from there. So either the connection to the MG nest did something, or it was that it somehow strangely hit directly on the same location twice. So either maybe location problem, MG nest connection related, or something else. However there are times when they definitely won’t explode.
