Quick question

I know all about getting a sentry to kill its Engy by standing behind a Dispenser. But I have a quick question:

An Engy is behind a sentry, I stand behind a dispenser built by a different Engy, I begin shooting at the Sentry, will the dispenser protect me?

90% sure the answer is no.

Actually, the answer is yes. But, if it's one of your teammate's dispensers then the SG will attack the dispenser, getting rid of your cover. Enemy SGs won't shoot through the dispensers on their side. The only problem is, you have to be using it as cover and good luck shooting the SG from behind the dispenser.

Oh, it's very easy to to kill the Engie with his own sentry and use the Dispenser as shield. I remember happening once, but I tried it another time and was killed... I believe this was because there was another sentry dead ahead but high above me.

I don't really get the situation. I see an enemy sentry and a dispenser, from whoever. Now i see two different situations.


1. Enemy Sentry - - - Enemy Dispenser - - - You
The Sentry is not able to fire through the enemy dispenser. It can't even target you. Technically you are safe behind it. I can't stress this enough, engies: dispenser blocks sentry view

2. Enemy Sentry - - - Friendly Dispenser - - - You
The sentry will first shred the dispenser, and then you.... this is unlikely anyway, because it's nigh impossible to build a dispenser in the range of an enemy sentry... or anything else for that matter.

Fluffy, imagine two engies, both on the enemy team. Let's call them RedNeckNick and CottonEyeJoe. Here's the situation:
Sentry built by RedNeckNick ---- Dispenser built by CottonEyeJoe ---- You

Will RedNeckNick's sentry shoot through CottonEyeJoe's dispenser? Or will the dispenser block line of sight, even though it's not built by the same engineer?

I don't know the answer, btw...

I sees, tricky situation.

I've never come across this situation, but I'm pretty sure it will fire through- your dispenser only blocks your SG's fire- so...

Sentry built by RedNeckNick ----- RedNeckNick ----- Dispenser built by CottonEyeJoe ----- You (Will be pummeled)

Sentry built by RedNeckNick ----- RedNeckNick ----- Dispenser built by RedNeckNick ----- You (Will NOT be pummeled)

If both situations resulted in the SG being blocked, I can see it would be open to a lot of engineer's griefing one another, in teh same way Valve stopped players and allied buildings blocking your way.

100% sure it's a yes.

If its a different Engineer's Dispenser then no, as as someone said it would lead to loads of possible griefing situations.
