Discuss Numpad Animations

[NodGuy]

Numpad animations, will they ever return? I always enjoyed messing around with these while waiting at the War Factory PT.

Problem with those from what I remember, that they can be exploited to negate any kind of fall damage. Happened a lot on Glacier but then again I suppose times change, they were fun to use so unless that exploit can be fixed, I doubt they'll ever return.

I'd love to see these come back!

Two words: fall damage.

Two words: fix it.

simple solution

 

On Numpad animation.activate

{

PlayerHP += - 1000

}

IIRC it was actually fixed somewhere around 1.4 so animations didn't save you from fall DMG anymore.

Both saberhawk and jonwil said it's not happening, so perhaps you'd like to volunteer?

It wasn't.

These animations will NOT be comming back.

They would still prevent fall damage and that is something that can't be fixed.

So stop asking about it.

Settle down, I was only asking a question that has not been asked on these forums before, i.e., in a very long time. At least it's good to know they'll never be returning, I suppose we can still shoot each other while waiting at the War Factory.

What's a numpad animation again?

A while ago, in an earlier version of the game, you could press one of the numbers on your numpad to initiate an animation. Salute, Mendoza fighting animation, etc. Most people used them at the War Factory while waiting for the ore truck to dump its load, but others abused it to not take damage when falling off high ledges.

Which is why we can't have nice things.
