Mind Trick/Affect Mind Upgrade
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 1:01 pm
Just a thought here regarding Mind Trick and Affect Mind.
I know that in the singplayer version of jka, with Mind Trick lvl4, you are able to "take over" a npc's body for a short period of time. If that could be done in mp as well, it would be VERY cool. It could be abused, but could easily be prevented via the login-mod.
If it is not possible to give one player complete control over another player, perhaps only allow them to "speak for the player". A special chat channel could be used for this, or perhaps once the key is pressed to use the power, while that power is active, the same key is used for the mind chat. I.E. Wesley and I are in-game, and I use affect mind on him, and using the mind chat channel, say "Greetings Master", only on-screen is appears as if Wesley said it and not I.
Just some thoughts that would allow for an in-game version of "affect mind".
