I had a conversation on this subject some time in 2017 or so, posting my opinion on why it has flaws tech-wise and kinda gave up.The best loadout to be able to take down all big zeds the game throws st you on HoE is railgun and whatever else (e.g. Although they seem to be satisfied with the current results. having block handled AFTER incaps will allow to even blocking SC be stunned but its not what they had in mind.Īnyway if you have twi forums account you better post there, maybe pinging kitten or any other stuff member via respond on their forums way more frequently.

just pusing new instance of block will likely mess up with cooldown. do block -> pause it on hit -> check for incaps -> resume it if needed. currently there is no system to track in-progress animations which would allow to pause and resume such animations, e.g. Its not impossible to make them maintain their block posture but would require some serious coding because: Instead when SC gets hit it blocks and cancels it instantly at same time updating info on its last block time. Scrake does not even get these 101 points of stun power from crossbow because block does not allow so. The way animations work is that the game checks whether new animation (stun) can be chained or overridden by current animation (block) and only then, if either allowed, it adds incap power. It feels really cheap when you have to flip a coin each time you shoot a scrake with the crossbow or the ballistic shock railgun.

The Scrake should play his animation, so a player knows when he can shoot him with high incap weapons. In my opinion this is a clear bug and stands in contrast to what Kittenmitten said in your source. The question here is, why is their blocking immediatly stopped. If i'm not mistaken, than you think its like they block, they gain their incap resitances, they immediatly stop blocking so that no animation is shown but ther incap restitances are still active for the duration the animation would have lasted? 'Technically unraged Scrakes blocks and immediately cancels its block' My concern is, that the Scrake and only the Scrake sometimes doesn't play his block animation uppon recieving damage or being aimed at, while the game gives him those incap resistances. Stuns and other incap thresholds should be able to be reached reliably while a zed is not blocking.' 'It is actually design that blocking prevents these incaps.
