Glitch?

[HitmanX]

While playing on convoy i found an interesting little... glitch i suppose, in the intel rooms by the computers which are placed at the side you can build a sentry in the air, elevated by a ledge, then you build a teleporter under it. then when you teleport you end up "within" your sentry.

I have no really good screenies but there are a few on my xfire

All i know is that you dont get damaged by your sentry while within it,
you CAN be hurt using this,
you can turn but not move
and you cannot get health from a dispenser, you can however get metal.

Mainly wanted to post to know if its really a glitch and therefore against the rules (in which case i wont be doing it anymore) or just a cool feature (although i probably still wont use it again).

I don't see anything really wrong with it. So long as you aren't invincible or anything with it. I think it is more like you are just stuck behind it in this case, which can also happen in other situations. To my knowledge, there aren't any places in the Convoy intel room where you can really have a glitch that causes an unfair advantage.

Like anywhere else you put your sentry in the intel room, it is still pretty destructible in that spot.

This is similar to placing your dispenser/whatever at the place where a map has a teleport spot. If you or the other team goes through it you get stuck. I wonder if you being inside the SG can stop a spy from sapping it, if it does then it sorta could be an exploit otherwise I would consider it a fun glitch.

if anything this glitch makes it easier for spies to sap the sentry, because effectively all you can do is fix your sentry, and you dont have infinite metal

I saw the title of this thread and my first thought was... "Yes? May I be of assistance?"

In any case, I have yet to find an actual exploit on convoy... unless you count purposely launching the enemy flag carrier off the side. :-D

Not so much an exploit as using the map to your advantage, but I love doing that.

You might be able to do this on 2Fort as well, by building your sentry on the windowsill in the intel room. I'll test that.

Yeah, It's just a fun glitch, if anything it helps the other team more, since you can't get rid of those pesky spies.

 

[OfficerFriendly]

Yeah its not an issue from an admin perspective so don't worry too much.

ya you can do a similar thing in 2fort, where you place a tele exit under a tele entrance. Its by the strait stairs in the inelegance room. Kinda like portal

Sounds more like suicide rather then an exploit
