Vgstation13: Hulks punching walls can be seen through walls with attack animations.

[Blithering]

Specifically those on a wall itself, makes cool aid man roleplay very difficult when everyone sees the fist icon flashing for a few seconds before the hulked out geneticist comes flying into the cap's office.

[Kurfursten]

At long last I know what that icon is supposed to be

Also simple mobs (like carp) send a fist icon into glass windows which is... weird looking. Could we maybe send an icon of the mob itself into the window? That might look less weird.

[DamianX]

it's a feature, because the spessman can tell the wall is being punched to pieces. in fact, why don't we have sounds for wall smashing too?

[PJB3005]

Sounds like a feature to me.

[Riekland]

Amazing
Is there not a sprite for biting? Would using bite intent make fists appear on the person I'm biting? Do people not check their pulls?

[Shadowmech88]

If I remember correctly, when a hulk hits a wall there is flavor text about the wall creaking and bending under the hulk's punches.
I think there should be audio as well.

[JustSumBody]

Do people not check their pulls?

Didn't see you point it out in the PR :v)

[clusterfack]

1. Attack animations in general can't be seen through walls, you can see the attack animation because you can see the wall that is being destroyed by the hulk.
2. @Riekland that's a sprite issue, if you made sprites for kicking/biting for me I would add them
3. @Kurfursten same with carp and such, its just a matter of getting sprites, the fist was meant to be a generic unarmed attack until spriters made some animations for it

[FudgePucker]

Better idea, totally remove the tumor instead of keeping it on a toggle.

It was a good April fools joke because it is so cancerous.

[yclatious]

You already know they wont revert it once its in fudge. Sucks, but fuckilydo, a revert pr wont happen or pass so just get used to it.

[FudgePucker]

Riot

[PJB3005]

@FudgePucker riot against the community who voted yes for it, then.
100% thread shitposter tier.

[Blithering]

@Shadowmech88 you might be thinking of when an alien or horror ling forces a door open, wall punching as hulk only gives a 'you hit the wall' message.
The main reason I made this issue is because having attack animations visible when the attacker isn't makes surprising people that much harder.

[PJB3005]

Let's be honest in no real circumstance would you not notice when a hulk is punching your wall in.

[ComicIronic]

The question is if it's fair to see WHAT is doing the wall-buckling. Until there's something which keeps that anonymity for good reason, I'm fine with the animation being visible.

[FudgePucker]

If you don't get a notice with them off then fix that or fix this.
Its not optional if you get an unfair advantage.

[PJB3005]

@FudgePucker GEE just like how you can't see who is attacking who as AI without attack animations.

If the "unfair advantage" is an argument then your own stupidity is the only issue.

[Kurfursten]

Let's steal the metal groaning sound TG uses for opening unpowered doors with a crowbar, then use it for this

[aceedex]

The obvious answer is to remove attack animations, since they're beyond stupid

[Exxion]

There's nothing unfair about missing out on information due to your own choice to turn a feature off

That said, why CAN you see the animation through the wall? Isn't the animation on the attacker, not the thing being attacked?

[clusterfack]

If it is an animation on the attacker then clicking on the animation by accident will cause you to click on yourself. This occurs because the click behavior for images inherently tied to the things they are attached to, and you cannot reset mouse opacity for them (something I dislike and has been change requested but something lummox is unwilling to change).

Thus

1. Put the image on the target (like we do and TG does) - click behavior works fine
2. Put the image on the attacker - causes you to click yourself (and hit yourself) if you click the animation

[Exxion]

you cannot reset mouse opacity for them

You can with a PLANE_MASTER, but I guess that's probably more trouble than it's worth
