If you said ‘devices’ in the title, maybe you should add more devices, more than only the zone…

@josh, is this true? (Wondering because I have no clue on how to test this)

Hmmm this is interesting…

This is an interesting theory. The zone/text rendering is certainly very interesting.

While my technical expertise is limited, I feel like the zone constantly checking statement is incorrect. That seems unlikely, and perhaps a faster solution that the devs may have implemented could have been just ‘when player moves past x bound run this function’ or something. Where did you get that from?

I’ll ask hexa and bh about the rendering thing.

I’m not sure where I got it from. I was just gimkiting, and then this idea came into my head and I felt like I had to write it down, and it constantly checking was the only way it made sense to me.

I teleported out of a zone with gadget fire off and I couldn’t fire gadgets after I teleported out.

This is because the game hasn’t realized that you left the no-firing zone, and still thinks you are in it and won’t let you fire.

That is a very very very useful and practical application of zones.

Let’s keep this on the down-low so the devs dont patch it, yeah? :smiley:

HI GUYS and what if you teleport out of a zone that hides an overlay? would the game still show the overlay?

26

Yes, it would still show the overlay because the zone doesn’t have enough time before it de-renders to send the signal. Also, HI back.

Could this be used for anything, or is it just a nuisance?
