Pushing teammates around in the Zombie Gamemode

[jovial chasm]

Okay, so, not to be rude or anything like that, but what's the point of player collision in the zombie gamemode? I think it's more annoying then useful😅

It like pushes you and the other teammate around, and sometimes you even get stuck and you both get pushed into a direction😅
Especially when you try to enter a building, or get on top of a ladder, and a teammate is standing in the entrance or on top of the ladder, this can get annoying very quickly and it could kill you!

So I kinda wanna know why it's there, and if it's possible to be tweaked/removed :)

[lament valley]

I think its part of the game that players can push each other and i dont think theyre gonna remove it for one gamemode

[wet oriole]

It's the only gamemode where it happens.

[fervent quiver]

It prevents 15 players to be hunched down in front of tank. It forces people to spread out.

[jovial chasm]

Yea, it's the only gamemode that has playercontact

[lament valley]

Isnt it a thing that if you are on a ladder the person beneath you cant phase through? Or am i missing sth?

In classic

[jovial chasm]

Yea okay, that is true. I forgot about that xD

[fervent quiver]

I have been the guy stuck below. Not sure though, haven't done it this zbr

[jovial chasm]

It just feels like the range on it is pretty big. Like you don't even hit eachother and still it stops your from moving any closer to them

[onyx lantern]

It's particularly annoying when dealing with doors and cramped indoor areas, I've seen quite a few folks get killed like that

[wet oriole]

You can block someone in that one specific situation in classic, but that is very different from the actual push between players in all situation in ZDC. That does not exist in classic

[lament valley]

Ooh ok

[jovial chasm]

I do think that this is a solid argument though! I can see why it's there now. But maybe the hitbox can be adjusted slightly? Idk 😅

[jovial chasm]

Yeaa

[fervent quiver]

Not sure though if it is intentional. We shall see what @boreal obsidian says.

Is the pushing of teammembers intentional, as it only happens in ZDC.

Could be related to the way the flashlights are added, or the way collisions are handled when they intersect. Might also be an invisible dummy object that got left as hot.

Pushing teammates around in the Zombie Gamemode

Good question. I do not know. I noticed it too and was wondering if WB has always been that way and did not notice. I will look into it.

[onyx lantern]

It's always been the case somewhat, just not to this degree.

[wet oriole]

Has it?
You can't push anyone in classic, nor do I ever remember that being the case.
You can't go throught them. You are blocked, but the size that represents the person that blocks you also seems much smaller than the blocky visual representation. In ZDC, it seems like it is the full block, or is at least bigger than it is in classic, and it is pushing and not just blocking.

I probably shouldn't have done that to him...

[onyx lantern]

You can most definitely push people in classic, though it's more of a gentle nudge than full-out pushblocking

[wet oriole]

I don't think so.

Maybe. It didn't look like they were moving. I'd have to be on the other side to know for sure.

In any case, yes, it is not the same as what happens in ZDC.

[ripe ermine]

We have a case where people of various different pings are chucked in the same server more than ever

ping should be playing a big role

[haughty rune]

I once got yeeted into the sky from being pushed, I then went flying out of the circle and a flashbang did nothing to the momentum

[jovial phoenix]

Concussion grenades only did damage, no knockback at all

Neither to player nor monster

[haughty rune]

then how did I flashbang jump onto a ladder?
