Has valve patched the teleporter yet so that it can telefrag.

Also has valve patched the teleporter so that you can bring the player to a stop on the exit.

A year ago I was mapping and 1) People would get stuck inside of eachother on exit.

2) People would exit teleporters at the same velocity they entered... and there was no way to make them stop.

Any progress on these fronts from Valve?

? quoting omegaslayer
What is a telefrag?

when you spawn or teleport inside another player, and the other player gets gibbed. i've seen it loads of times with tfc, but i've still never seen it happen in any hl2 game.

Assuming it's not in HL2DM, you can just make a trigger_hurt on the other end of the teleport and toggle it right before you teleport someone, so you kill whatever's on the other end. Same effect.

trigger_hurt should do the trick. Maybe add a 0.1 second delay to be sure.


Why snark works.

No, the only way I got it to work last year was an obscenely complicated and somewhat buggy series of triggers. I was hoping I could gut it all out now. If there isn't a fix I'll probably just wait till next year and hope for the best.

I don't see why it would be needed. I mean HL2DM is a completly different game than HL1DM. HL2DM is far from death match that "telefraging" is synomonis with. I guess you should ask yourself: "Is 'Telefragging' really going to make the gameplay 'that' much better?"

if it stops players getting stuck in each other, then it can't be a bad thing.

I don't think he means telefragging in the usual, Quake 3, spawn and gib way. It's more about people getting stuck in teleporters like in dm_steamlab.

Could you tell us what exactly isn't working about the trigger_hurt? It should/must work with the right timing.
