I noticed that the chainsaw damage was to long (or chainsaw image to short).

I did some testing and when you change the speed of the chainsaw to (65) 40 this should be fixed, then the damage should be changed to (2260) 3675 so it still does the same damage.

Yeah, I noticed this in the game yesterday.

I think chainsaw needs to be made longer so it looks correct. More length = good.

Yeah it looks strange, but plays good. Maybe the graphic should be longer?

Yup, longer graphic and it'll be good. I'm going to love chainsaw in 1.3.1. :D

As SK said chainsaw damage is to long:

But when you do that in a normal wall the distance is even longer:

How can you tell it is longer when you can't see a collider?

That smoke that u see its from a collider, maybe he is assuming that the wall is right where u r.

Oops i used 1.3.0 instead of 1.3.1d (they seem to have different distances with same speeds)

I did some more testing with an dummybot (/addbot *) and the speed should be around 40 (damage should be 3675).
Can someone confirm this??

But the distance to a wall still happens and when the bot stand close to a wall you cant damage him with your chainsaw :o.

Instead of making it longer, why not just make the saw further out from the soldier's body? If it was any bigger, it'd just look silly

it would look even sillier if it floated around in front of the Soldiers actual hand :p

I'm not sure, but I guess the chainsaws range was purposely increased, and it's not the bug. So if that's the case, some got it a little wrong I guess :) About the graphics, I guess Stickys idea should work. I never held a chainsaw, but I guess usually it's held a little further away from the body anyway :)
