GoldenRodTea Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I might be crazy but I am sure that timed charges did not hurt players when placed on larger safes and locked containers in alpha 20. I could have sworn I had a play-through in early 21 where I was playing with some timed charges and still did not take damage when they went off if I was next to them. Now I notice they hurt a lot and was wondering when the change was implemented. Was it a bug that was fixed? Were they always supposed to hurt players? Are they not supposed to hurt players? I am dying to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugginator Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I dont recall a fix exactly, but it may have been the No Killing setting bug that should have a fix out soon. Timed charges have always given entity (zombie/animal/player/etc) damage as intended, but it's a tiny radius (meant to be a concentrated charge).

GoldenRodTea Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Oooohh a no killing setting bug? Where can I read up on this? I remember standing pretty close to them before and being fine. Maybe I was far enough away to not be in danger. Time to go test! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugginator Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Setting the No Killing in the game settings will prevent some things like explosion, fire, radiation damage, etc from doing damage to players, that's the bug Edited October 11, 2023 by Jugginator (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenRodTea Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 I figured it out with the help of Jugginator. If you have the multiplayer option for player killing set to no killing then you take zero damage from these. I forgot that I set that option to no killing when I play with my girlfriend and my sons so they won't shoot each other or me by accident. Have been doing this for years so when I play with them so I had no idea that it was saving my life from timed charges. The reason I even knew that I couldn't get hurt with them was that I placed one on a safe one day and everyone was body-blocking me. I couldn't get away in time and it went off but I took no damage. For those few seconds before it went off though I was screamin for everyone to get the hell out of the way and it was hilarious because it was a small space so we were all stuck. Hope this helps lol. Fun Fact: I did some testing with player killing on and the damage range is so small you can place one on the edge of a frame and stand on the other edge of the frame and take no damage. Has to be the very edge though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
