| − | ==Bug: Indestructible sapper==
| + | {{Talk archive |
| − | I'm not totally sure if this is why it happens, but I believe that if you build a tele at the exact moment the other end is being sapped, a sapper appears on the engie's end that may be removed but is instantly and magically replaced, even though the other end is gone. I believe this may happen with other buildings.[[User:Cranberry Jerk|{{SUBST:User:Cranberry Jerk/Sig}}]] 16:14, 23 June 2011 (PDT)

| + | | arc1link = Talk:Sapper/Archive 1 |
| − | : As I mentioned, it still happens even though the other end is already gone from the sapping. He cannot sap a lone tele from across the map. Something like that happened to a sentry of mine, even though the spy was dead (really). A sapper kept reappearing and I could do nothing.I'm not exactly sure what the conditions are, but this can happen. [[User:Cranberry Jerk|{{SUBST:User:Cranberry Jerk/Sig}}]] 18:42, 23 June 2011 (PDT)

| − | I don't think so, since it only takes one hit to destroy a sapper. [[User:Delicious cake|Delicious cake]] 21:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | == "Destroy 3 0" exploit ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I would argue the "Destroy 3 0" trick belongs in Bugs, since it's prone to abuse - I managed to milk a single unattended Level 1 Sentry for over 20 points before it got destroyed by the Sapper damage. And that was with a simple bind; with scripting the situation is likely a lot worse. [[User:NVis|NVis]] 22:14, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | "Although it was sped up severely, the Spy would slowly flick a switch on the Electro Sapper's interface."
| |
| − | Is the term 'severely' used properly here? The definition of the word is "difficult to endure" or "grave". I don't think that that word would be properly used in this setting.
| |
| − | How about "Although greatly sped up,..." or something similar? [[User:Funkadacious|Funkadacious]] 22:51, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :"Severely" isn't completely out of context, but something like "significantly" would probably be a better word. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 23:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::I agree. "severly" just sounded a bit out of place to me. [[User:Funkadacious|Funkadacious]] 23:37, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | "In an earlier version, the Spy would slowly flick a switch on the Electro Sapper's interface." Doesn't he still flick the switch when he first grabs the Sapper after he spawns or changes class?[[User:Ziom236|Ziom236]] 21:57, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Infobox Fix? == | |
| − | | |
| − | I had a discussion about this with someone else, but does anyone know why the infobox has lines for "Tradeable" and "Giftable," even though other pages with almost identical infobox data don't suffer from this? Just curious, as I sifted through the page for almost an hour the other day and couldn't think of a way to remove the lines (rather than just putting in "no" variables for Tradeable and Giftable as they are now). Anyone know of a fix? [[User:StarYoshi|StarYoshi]] 00:06, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Damage reduction ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I noticed in update history section, at the "December 20, 2007 Patch", that this was changed: "Sapped buildings now take slightly less damage from the Spy who sapped them.". However, this is not mentioned anywhere else, and it definitely qualifies as being relevant, regardless of the size of this damage reduction. Shouldn't it be added to the page (Damage and function times) given someone knows specifically how much damage is reduced? [[User:Mikau|Mikau]] 01:25, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

| − | == That gauge on the sapper's front ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm pretty sure that previously the arrow on that gauge has risen when you were in sapping range of the building, when the white sapper outline appears. When was that removed and why? — [[User:Zhnigo|Zhnigo]] 00:40, 16 July 2011 (PDT)

| − | Do we know how much health Sappers have? It's definitely somewhere between 65 and 130, but can we find out for sure? [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 20:08, 13 December 2011 (PST)
| |
| − | :They don't really have "health" as such, or they would be affected by crits (even with 130 health one crit from a Wrench would destroy it). The rules are simply "2 hits from a wrench or 1 from the Homewrecker and it's destroyed".

| − | On any TF2 wiki page, you can press UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A ENTER, and the Spy will come down and place a temporary Sapper on the TF2 logo.

| − | == Bug: seeing the white sapper outline ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I've been noticing a certain bug: you can sometimes see the white sapper outline on a friendly building a split second before an enemy spy saps it (sometimes, just as the spy begins the animation of placing the sapper). It seems to happen only when the spy sapping the building is disguised as you (or maybe just as a member of your class) [[User:Rum N Napalm|Rum N Napalm]] 13:02, 21 March 2012 (PDT)

| − | In relation to this, I've removed the backpack icon from 'unused content' [[User:TheUniverse|TheUniverse]] 20:16, 22 March 2012 (PDT)

| − | :Yeah, it is definitely just "Sapper" in the English localization file.

| − | == Strange Ranks ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since the [[Spirit Of Giving]] has its list of [[strange]] ranks on its page, wouldn't it only be logical if the Sapper's ranks were displayed on this page? -[[User:scourgething|Scourgething]] 23:46, 23 March 2012 (CET)

| − | | |
| − | == Building slot ==
| |
| − | In the game files, the listed slot of the Sapper is "building." Yes, I know the Sapper shows up when pushing the button that is normally for secondary while playing as Spy, but to say that it is in the secondary slot is misleading. I would change it in the article, but I have also noticed many other articles that have slots listed incorrectly as well. The main offenders being all the Spy revolvers. The revolvers are all listed as primary, but are actually secondary weapons. Was there a consensus reached at some point to label all these items as such, or is it just a perpetuating misunderstanding? In my opinion, it is pretty awkward to label the revolvers as primary weapons, then say that while crafting them they are considered secondary. Just saying that the revolvers are secondary weapons from the get-go would simplify things. And that is definitely the same for Sappers, especially if they are ever able to be crafted into a Building Token, or if other weapons with that use the building slot start being created than just the 2 now. — [[User:C2Talon|C2Talon]] (<i>[[Special:Contributions/C2Talon|c]]</i>/<i>[[User_talk:C2Talon|t]]</i>) 16:22, 23 March 2012 (PDT)
