Apologies if this has been discovered before, i did a bit of searching and could find no mention. I was wondering what effect Kill-Balls have on vehicles, sure if you drive a vehicle straight into it explodes: But it thought "what triggers the death, is it the vehicle entering or the person" - so i built a bridge so the killball was poking through at tire depth. Sure enough, no bang, the vehicle goes through safely. So I start raising the height of the killball: With the killball 4 walls off the ground and a bridge 1.5 blocks high, still no bang - even though the vehicle is now within the killball. I tried other vehicles: Finally i tried a tiny little mongoose, to show no cheatsies - here is the video, i only die when i get out the mongoose... YouTube - HALO3 mongoose vs killball
I think if there's something between you and the kill ball it doesn't kill. I could be wrong. If not nice find
Nope, if you walk into the kill ball you die, if you get out of a vehicle whilst in the kill ball - you die
Its because the kill ball is on the wrong side or interlocked. The Orange fire does nothing. Its is the core of the kill ball that has a kill radius. When that is obstructed anything on that side can pass freely. Vehicles can pass through your contraption, but I bet people can go through it as well. Edit: After watching the video, I believe that either 1. Stepping off the mongoose sent you to the edge of your block which was in range of the kill zone. Or 2. That the vehicle provides just enough height to stay out of the kill zone and once you stepped off you lost that height. To test theory 1 try walking straight through the ball. To test theory 2 stack a couple walls and see if you can survive on top of them, then jump off and see if you die.
Yes, of that I am aware. However there seems to be a gap at the top of a killball that allows a vehicle to pass through - but, and i repeat NOT PEOPLE. At the end of the video I get out of the mongoose and die instantly.
That's not quite how it works. If you can SEE the core of the killball, you'll die/explode, otherwise you don't. When you get out of the mongoose, you get eye contact of it, but the mongoose doesn't because it stays still.
Make the road wider, add a gate over the ball. And test it out for real. Go through it on foot then go through it on vehicle. If it works then it works. If it doesnt then you did something wrong.
On the original i tried walking through once, i jumped into it once, and i got out the mongoose, all times i died. I rebuilt and tested again, sometimes it does let you through, sometimes it does not. It must depend on your position, but i cannot get reliable enough results. It always lets through vehicles.
Am I the onloy one that isn't going to question this huge amount of evidence he has provided and just accept that he's right? Maybe the vehicles have a resistance to killballs? Or maybe it's a glitch. try destructable scenery. Put a pallet in the killball or push it in there with a vehicle. Does it die? Also, if you drive a vehicle wider then the bridge over the bridge (e.g. a wraith, if it can get across without grinding on the floor of the bridge), does the vehicle die then?
