ORA Mechanic: Infantry standing from prone. #10967

Open AoAGeneral opened 8 years ago

AoAGeneral commented 8 years ago

In C&C95 and RA96 you can cancel infantry out from their prone status by double clicking the mouse button. This would cancel them out from prone and actually ignore the prone status until they stood still and go back to prone again.

This allowed infantry to run from targets or even perhaps rush at targets (IE: GTs in C&C95) to do their damage or run for cover.

The interesting thing about this is going out from prone increases damage takened while remaining in prone reduced damage. So you came with some decisions as "Remain in prone or run at the risk of a quick death?" which became rather situational.

I am completely for this, mainly in TD because GT does good area damage but i dont think the pillbox does, unsure

This and maybe other exceptions need to be considered when solving #3923.
