infection/bio-medkit

[Sentanyl]

Infection from various sources is unpredictable (sometimes touching skulls and/or corpses infects a player and sometimes it does not) and I wonder if this was intended. Also if you grab the bio-medkit when not already infected, your health will automatically reduce to 1% no matter what it was at previously.

If you touch an infected object, it infects you ... it becomes real funny when you have infected players chase you and you try to navigate the level without getting infected yourself or worse, hehehe.

Yes

Also if you grab the bio-medkit when not already infected, your health will automatically reduce to 1% no matter what it was at previously.

That was also intended, it's a double-edged sword :-)

Thanks for the clarification. I agree, it's a lot of fun and adds depth and makes gameplay even more crazy. So am I correct in assuming that objects that are infected from the very beginning (e.g. some skulls) share an identical appearance with the skulls that give armor to a player? If that's the case, that's very devious and funny, and the issue can be closed. I haven't observed the code closely enough yet.

Of course, it's to train players' memory too as their location doesn't change.

Reading the code would indeed help.
