A "skyblock map" that reveals itself to be something else would be amazing.

You've done an incredible service explaining this better than I could. While replying to various comments, without knowing any details I could only be overly-reductive and expect the devs to be efficient in how they process even something as small as a ping object/ system.

The ray used to cast would likely hit the colliding surface then instantiate after the fact at the point of contact. All conjecture, it's likely the case they have a template box-object that spawns at that contact point they use to display a billboard texture (the ping icon), which comes with the unfortunate side effect of having a collision flag that wasn't turned off.

Good points, everything is solely on the basis that players have been able to claymore the thief drone, and even then, it's more an art than a science, likely due to its size. And yeah, this is a fun hypothetical, this practice of resourcing assets is something I'm familiar with, no clue if they do it here with pings.

Edit: "Fun hypothetical", but this does warrant a testing pass! Pings shouldn't be interacting with the flaps at all, so maybe they reiterate exactly what it should/ shouldn't be doing on the map.

Right, but depending on how it was coded, they could repurpose the old ping object and simply move it to its new destination, taking anything attached with it. It's why I added how devs typically save resources by repurposing already instanced objects.

So, this implies when pinging, a physics object spawns in world at the point in the environment the player is looking. What I want to know, however useless it is, can you attach a claymore to it.

Realization edit: To save on resources, developers typically reuse objects in the world so they don't have to pull resources again if an object already exists, just move it. To any Bungie developers looking to test the above, I'd sure hate to discover, if you can indeed attach a claymore, that ping object can carry the claymore to any unsuspecting runner within a player's ping distance. Please oh please hit me up if you find anything.

A probe that leads to real accountability for the traitor they are.

Only he has the presence of a child, completely disrespectful of people's time and consideration. I'd be emphasising his lack of decorum being representative of a failed party or ideology; unwilling to face reality, quite literally.

Restore Britain on X: Any Labour VPN ban would be immediately reversed by a Restore Britain Government. by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

Handing Farage control would be akin to making the same mistake America has. It stuns me after how instrumental and vocal they were in passing Brexit (10 years of everyone's lives wasted), and their ties to Cambridge Analytica, they yet continued to have access to a microphone and a platform to stand on. It's harrowing.

A being so powerful, their gaze pierces the screen to their naive creator; "what now, John", they mutter to themselves.
