Disarm/Draw

Post by Sithiel » Tue Feb 03, 2009 1:35 pm

I think it would be cool that when disarmed, you automaticly draw your sheathed weapon. I know this can be achieved with simple trigger as well, but I think it would be more realistic to draw a sheathed weapon. It's kind of hard to pick up a fallen weapon in combat most likely.

I prefer to keep it so that the player needs to choose what to do after getting disarmed. If someone draws a weapon immediately after getting disarmed it really defeats the purpose of disarming them. The slight lag between getting disarmed and deciding what to do next is the biggest bonus to disarming someone. Some people also keep hidden weapons that they wouldn't want to show to everyone in the room when they could simply pick the weapon up off the ground.

I'd also like to point out that triggers that execute game commands are illegal. Automatically picking up your weapon or drawing another one gives you a huge advantage over people who don't have the ability to use triggers.
