bug or feature ?

(SCDS_reyalP) #1

Ok, I mentioned this in GD, but I wonder what the coders think:
src/game/g_combat.c:1275 (G_Damage)


	if( targ->client && g_friendlyFire.integer && OnSameTeam(targ, attacker) ) {
		knockback = 0;

This says, if friendly fire is ON, then team damage does 0 knockback. My guess is this was supposed to be !g_friendlyFire.integer, so that in FF off games, people couldn’t nade boost their teamates all over the place.

Or perhaps because FF off is less serious, nade boosting is allowed ? :moo:

I’m pretty sure nade boosting is supposed to be like that…

(SCDS_reyalP) #3

Any particular reason ? (by ‘like that’ I assume you mean the current behavior ?)

FWIW, RTCW does it the other way.

RTCW 1.4.1, game/src/g_damge.c:939


	if ( knockback && targ->client && (g_friendlyFire.integer || !OnSameTeam(targ, attacker))

knockback is done if the above is true. So if friendly fire is on or the target and attacker are on different teams, then knockback is done.

id say it was a feature
