satchel charges

[oogaBooga]

I was about to post a gigantic thing about satchels but after reading and playing with pyro's local I would pretty much be re-stating it. To be honest i havent questioned the inner working of the satchel for a while, but my theories on why they sometimes fly and why they sometimes immediately dud upon hitting ground are pretty much concurrant with the info Pyro provided.

This whole discussion is moot.

Satchels?
We ain't got no Satchels!
We don't need no satchels!
I don't have to show you no stinkin' satchels!

Do satchel charges always go off or are they like dorf bottles and 'dud'

I've seen a few dud but im wondering if its intentional.

When carried by dorfs they don't _always_ explode when the dorf dies - that is a variable %.

I don't believe satchels ever intentionally 'dud', but I could be wrong.

In what kind of scenerios have you seen a satchel 'dud'?

Limbs, Head and smoking craters map. Garrick and I laid a long line of satchels and this one satchel in the middle of the line didnt go off twice in a row.

Oh and btw why is it that when i lay satchels in a row and want my dorf to suicide on his own satchels, he's so hesitant to throw sometimes, especially hero dorfs, i want him to just die gdi?

Btw frum thats awesome lol.

For every one sat you set down you accumulate one second of delay before he will throw a bottle, so 8 sats = roughly 8 seconds if you drop them all fast. kinda lame i know:(

You are dropping them too close to commit suicide very well if there is no pause between!
