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.

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