Powerups and ideas

Post by Velocity »

OK u could have a speed powerup. When u get it u can press ur brakes to go faster on any server or localgame. PLus u could have the model pop a wheely whilie it does it.

New IDEA
Double Wall: It will create 2 walls behind u unstead of just one
EXAMPLE->

Code: Select all

                    0
                   /  \
                  |    |
                  |    |
                  |    |
                  |    |
New IDEA
Ghost: U could zoom through walls for a short amount of time.

New IDEA
Laser: U can shoot lasers at ur enemy to destory them that way

New IDEA
Sheld: Once actived u can destory walls that u run into (U won't die), and it is laser proof.

New IDEA
Traps: U can set traps to destory the enemy
[EXAMPLE 1] a LaserBox: Shoots a random laser everywhere after 10 secs.
[EXAMPLE 2] a Heat Sensing Bomb: It moves towards a random enemy to blom them up, also blows up walls when it it's them.
[EXAMPLE 3] Plain trap that blows up the other players, but also can blow up yourself.

That could be somewhat easy.

Copy all the code for the brakes, just make sure the math is rigged for acceleration rather than braking. The problem will be changing the protocol so the server will advertise the "gas trottle" settings to all the clients.

So I think its just to do it, and then to present it to manuel. And because it's based on the same concepts as the brake, any admin can allow or permit trottle on their servers, so I dont think manuel would have any real objections to that, even if I dont think he is fond of the trottle idea.

Now the question is who will do that?

i think the objective is not 2 shoot the bike of someone else away, but for instance, blow a hole in his or her wall... that way it's still tactical 2 use...
