How battling is seen by another player

(1/6) > >>

Jerry:
I was wondering how would a player battling someone or a wild pokemon would appear to another player.

Eg. P

-Player 1 goes into grass and sees a weedle. While battling, player 2 comes along. Does player 2 see player one immobile in the grass?

-Player 1 is battling against player 2. Player 3 comes along. Does player 3 see the two trainers facing each other?

Or will they just disappear temporarily for the other players?

As a side note, if they remain visible to other players, we could perhaps include pokemon sprites. Since they will be immobile, only one sprite in each direction is required, (or 493*4 = 1972 sprites, that's quite big already, I know)

This should be possible to implement as long as we have the sprites.

Thanks! That raises another issue... can players... go through other players like a ghost? Because if not, and we have a lot of players, the place will be overcrowded...

Alais:
I like the idea of seeing the wild pokemon a player is fighting, it might also be nice to have a pokeball animation if they catch it.

Generally the way to deal with walking through other players is if try to walk through them you stop for 1 second, then if you keep pressing the arrow key, you will walk through them.

Yes it's possible to walk through each other. We allow this because we don't want a "habbo pool's closed"-Incident here on PU.
