Frost Touch

Frost Touch is the ninth powerup in Fortress Blast. It was added to Fortress Blast in version 1.0 and is inspired by the game PlatinumQuest.

Frost Touch lasts for 8 seconds, during which a trail of slow-moving smoke is visible behind the user. If the user touches an enemy while Frost Touch is active, the enemy is frozen for 3 seconds.

Developer Information

An ice statue is spawned with a tf_ragdoll entity while forcing the client to look at that position in third person. Unlike most powerups, Frost Touch has two callbacks, one for the freezing of players and one for the powerup use itself. Most of the code for Frost Touch is re-used from the Roll the Dice effect 'Frozen'.
