Mod Ideas/Smoke Bomb

Mod ideas for UT 2003 – Smoke Bombs (making escape easier)

Description

This mod simply adds a new weapon to the already formidable UT arsenal. Essentially the player gains the ability to drop smoke bombs to conceal the direction they are running in.

When a smoke bomb is fired a reasonably large cloud of smoke is generated instantly at the players position. The cloud of smoke hangs around for about 5 seconds (maybe 10).

Discussion

EntropicLqd: I guess the only real issue with this idea is that it could easily become a real frame-rate killer.

ZxAnPhOrIaN: Probably, but the smoke bomb might want to detect how fast the computer is, and then disperse as much smoke as the computer can handle.

Swifty: Only problem with that is that people with lower specs (or even just lower settings if you based it off that) may well be able to see through the smoke, defeating the point of it. It's like the ability to turn foliage off; It's all very well hiding in the long grass on a map until it turns out that someone's got foliage off and laughs at you just crouching there. Never liked that -.-
