Proxies and flash grenades

Any chance of having the proxies affected by flash grenades?
And if so would you be able to have them cry out about being blinded?

I was playing the game today and had a situation where i thought it would have been great to blind the little psyco's so i could have got away from them

They have a protective shield against the flash grenades... Your best option is to RUN AWAY!!

Yes!

They just close their eyes and keep coming!

I heard a rumor that proxies may be flashable in the next version...

Well we will have to look into that a bit more before we can say how and to what effect. However since a proxy can find you behind a wall then it really should not matter if its flashed our not...still we can have fun with this one

Ahh yea. The Monster class is not of the bots. I will have to check to see if the startle command works on the monsters...or if there is something I can make them do to off set. Good catch.

that sounds hilarious . what about a magnet grenade type that attracts proxies , so that you could loosely "direct" your proxies to certain locations and directions.

OH! OH! OH!

Another mine type available...

if you have proxies after you, and have proxie gun...

Magnetic Mines:
Attract all proxies other then your own, and mess up the aim of other weapons....

Not sure about messing up aims of weapons, but a "proxy decoy" might be a very nice addition.
