Team platform won't always let you pass through

[mugg91]

Current in-game behaviour.

Under some circumstances, the team platform will not let you pass through it even when you hold the DOWN key (S by default).

• This can happen if you climb down a ladder. You will stop at the team platform and cannot pass through until you press DOWN again. https://i.imgur.com/3NN8BQw.jpeg

• If you stand on a solid wall and keep holding DOWN while walking on a team platform, you will not pass through until you press DOWN again.

Proposed Change

I would like it if team platforms let you pass through (= make it behave as if it wasn't there) always when you hold DOWN. The only exception being if you were stunned.

this is an intentional mechanic, the point is to let players be able to use the crouch mechanic on team bridges (which makes enemies pass through you) if they start crouching before getting on team platforms

Ok. It just feels really wonky when navigating through such a passage. Costs time in CTF and feels odd.

The crouch mechanic only works if players start crouching on a solid block and then walk on a team platform. Like that self harm thing on the other issue, it certainly doesn't feel like intended or like something you could figure out easily. Players can go for it only if they specifically know that team platforms work that way.

I would prefer it if pressing S simply makes you go through team platforms, period. Crouching therefore being impossible on those platforms. If it has already been discussed and decided to be that way, then oh well...

I can deal with that problem now, since I know of this behavior now. But I can only wonder how many other players run into this problem.
