Flood spore weapon?

[Pooky]

You probably could if you duplicated the spore first, so you hada spore and a spore2, then tell spore 2 to be on the team "Player"

But then that seems totally fucked up because the Flood hate everyone.

Unless of course the IDEA in the first place was for them not to attack you, I seem to remember your arguments against the weapon

If your shields drop, it will [attack you].

Your shields could drop after you throw it.

[rossmum]

...What?

Flood should attack everything. Otherwise it seems incredibly stupid that some do and some don't.

[Pooky]

...

If it spawned a flood spore biped on the "player" team, it would not attack you. This seems like a reasonable answer as your objection in the first place was that it would turn around and attack you when your shields were down. I think this needs a lock, however, as we're the only ones debating it anymore.

I'm well aware of team changing for AI, thanks. I've done it enough times over the last 3 years.

What I meant was that it would seem utterly fucked-up that the Flood spore would leave you alone, it just doesn't fit with the game. If you were playing as Flood, it would make more sense.

That said, I've yet to see a well-done Flood player in PC or CE. Perhaps someone would like to give it a try?

Thread's fine. Leave it as is.

I think, since the flood would have to attack everything...I could use a very light spore pushed by an explosion...

*POP*

[Pooky]

Unless you used an explosion that does no damage and unchecked the makes flood pop flag. I did a Flood Combat Form in multiplayer that worked 100% perfectly and had energy shields, only thing was it was missing animations for strafing and such.

True. He didn't specify that, though, so I assumed he meant a normal explosion.
