K3 Force Fields limited?

Post by MortimerInBlack »

It just occurred to me. You know in Keen 3, those green force fields that let keen pass in one direction but not the other? I think they only point right--I can't remember any that point left.

Can someone confirm this while I busy myself with other things? ^^; thanx

Did anyone else notice that you can shoot through the ones that point left, but not the ones that point right? :P

Thread necromancy! :bloody

I had not noticed that. Perhaps it's too do with the offset at which the bullet is spawned relative to the Keen sprite...

Yeah, I've noticed. And yeah, the reason is exactly that.

How can it be?
If you actually stand in the force field, near the edge, and shoot through, you can shoot through both... but I mean actually shooting something on one side of it while standing well on the other.
