Idea for selective C4 detination

[Harmor]

Place a number under each C4 denoting which it is (numbers 1-5). Then when you have your detonator out you can select whether to detonate all, or each individually.

Here's a sample image:

1. Added 1-2 (between 2 and 3 on the left)
2. Removed CANCEL
3. Added 1-3 in its place
4. Added 4-5 (between 5 and 4 on the right) - you need to plant it on that tank that just came into your base, but have 1-3 on the flagpole atm

The above rose will morph depending on the number of C4 currently deployed.

1. 1x C4 = No rose, works like it does today
2. 2x C4 = [DESTROY ALL] + [1] + [2]
3. 3x C4 = [DESTROY ALL] + [1] + [2] + [1-2] + [3]
4. 4x C4 = [DESTROY ALL] + [1] + [2] + [1-2] + [3] + [1-3] + [4]
5. 5x C4 = as shown above

==================================
The above isn't possible because of the limiations with the current trigger system (only able to tell server to blow ALL C4, the function has no parameters to set off individual C4). So here's a work around:



In the above image you have 2 C4 packs - a 3 pack in slot '5' and a 2 pack in slot '6' in the SpecOps kit.

If you want to blow the C4 you just select the detinator from the specific slot. Each detinator should be a different color (perhaps red and blue to detnote which pack - NOT SHOWN).





What do you think?

Did you make this or is this photoshopped.

Cuz its a rather good idea..

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

Photoshopped with my leet highschool skillz. Its just an concept atm. I would love to see someone implement it.

You know that's a pretty neat idea.

Thanks. I was also thinking if you hold down the left mouse button you could then press #1-5 on your keyboard to detonate...

I wouldn't mind both implementations. Having to double click to destroy all the currently deployed C4 wouldn't be that big a deal I hope.

Updated the image.

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

Indeed all good

although not much need for the Cancel button

[Harmor]

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

I removed the CANCEL button. Move 1-3 to the bottom where the CANCEL button is and added 1-2 between 2 and 3 on the left.

Also added a description of what happens when you have less than 5x C4 deployed in the main post.

What do you guys think?

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

this isnt possible currently

all c4 is detonated simultaneously. this is non-negotiable.
because there is only 1 trigger it triggers all c4 items. it can't be set to single detonations or delay detonations.

The hud coding would be easy but it would be a waste of time considering that the detonator cannot be changed to single/delay detonations....sorry

More on this at the editor forums http://bfeditor.gotfrag.com/forums/v...ighlight=delay

Even the EA ppl for the editor say it isnt possible.
Another good idea crushed lol

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

I just wish you could pick them back up again. You know, you set a trap of C4's around a flag to defend it when tank is coming. All of the sudden, BOOM!!!!, Somone else just blew the tank up, "dang" you are out of C4's and you are being ordered to a new flag. C4-less...

Should be able to pick them back up...

Same with Mines for th eng class...

Yeah, SpecOps should be able to "defuse" their and enemy C4 like how an engineer can pick up AT mines and Claymores.

Unfortunately, because of a limitation in the engine, we can't make this mod because when we execute the detinator, there's no parameter to let the server know which to detinate, only to detinate ALL...

Maybe when the game allows a parameter to denote which C4 to detinate in some future patch we can do this...

Re: Idea for selective C4 detination

I don't understand why DICE didn't do something like they did for the BFV mortars with C4 in bf2.
All you would have to do is press a key.

Hell they had wirecutters in BFV.
