: : Another idea...
: : some kinda mine that you thro and when the pred gets in the range of the mine, it ether lights up or shoots some kinda lazer at the pred but doesnt hurt him...
: Trip flares are one of the powerups we are considering.
Its not really a good idea. Take Chaos DM for example once you get 20 or so prox mines the servers lag up and everyone leaves. Maybe if you limit each player to 1 trip mine per level??
: There are a few drawbacks to trip flares, or mine type devices. The biggest concern is how much of a performance hit
: you take if there are say 10 or 20 of these things in a level all checking to see if
: the predator is in range.
: I need to investigate it.
