This mutator adds four new key bindings: 'Timed Detonator', 'Dead Man's Switch', 'Booby Trap Detonator' and 'Remote Detonator'.
Adds four key bindings:
'Timed Detonator' arms and disarms the timed detonator for the vehicle in
which you're in (obviously does nothing if you're not in a vehicle).
Note that depending on mutator configuration options, you may not be
allowed to disarm the detonator -- so make sure you know if you can
before you arm!
'Dead Man's Switch' is just like a real-life one: pressing it arms the
detonator and releasing it detonates the vehicle. Note that just like
the real deal, if the arming player dies...boom! And don't try to get
cute and get out of the vehicle, that'll set it off too :)
'Remote Detonator' toggles the remote detonator on board when you are
inside a vehicle. You may have anywhere between 0-5 remote detonators
armed at one time (depends on configuration settings; zero means
they're disabled). If you hit the key when you are NOT in a vehicle,
any vehicles you have rigged with a remote detonator will explode. Note
that any armed remote detonators you have set will automatically disarm
harmlessly when you die.
'Booby Trap Detonator' arms the booby trap on the vehicle. The next
person who gets into that vehicle will trigger the detonator! Note that
setting the booby trap forcefully ejects everyone from the vehicle so
make sure you're not, say, in a raptor at a fatal altitude :)
To install: make sure the following files are in the System\ folder of
your UT2004 installation:
+ MutVehicleDetonators.u
+ MutVehicleDetonators.ucl
+ MutVehicleDetonators.int
