Iv been thinking about this.... why cant we have moving polys... it would really help climbing maps.... Like u set them a toute [like waypoints], and then go back and fourth, or in circles in that route.

jesus, how many times are we gonna have to discuss this... It's a good idea but it will be too glitchy and hard to code - PERIOD.

chrono is right, zyxstand, calm down. As far as I'm aware, we haven't got a topic for discussing this matter on the new forums yet, so I'll leave it open for debate.

ok

Well i understand that it will lag, but dont think of thatg for a sec.

I like the idea except that it would be too laggy. It would be neat if you could get hurt by getting hit by one.

lol sry... it's just that it will unfortunately never be implemented. Would be cool for climbing maps: A series of 10 giant blocks that move down very fast (as to squish someone) and then slowly goes back up. could be turned into something rly great!

jettlarue · « **Reply #7 on:** June 25, 2006, 11:30:05 pm »

as i see it. it will only be implemented if someone rewrites another soldat client, or if mm releases the source and someone makes a soldat mod(not graphix mod, a programmed mod)

Mobile polygons would be impossible to waypoint. If bots can't navigate properly, I'm not for it.

jettlarue · « **Reply #9 on:** June 26, 2006, 01:06:43 am »

no, they could make the waypoints be set to a position that also moves or somethin...

doesn't this belong in map suggestions?

i remember bringing up something like this in the old forums; basically like the platforms and such in super mario and pretty much any other 2D side-scrolling action game. but yes, with the way the polys work it would be very difficult.

however, instead of using polys, make a new catagory, similar to scenery, but acting like a bot, and you set waypoints similarly. it'd be a collider of course.

edit: horrible use of the english language

i think it would be cool and funneh!

Nightcrawler · « **Reply #12 on:** June 26, 2006, 05:26:59 am »

I don't like it.

For some reason it reminds me of Indiana Jones....

Zegovia · « **Reply #13 on:** June 26, 2006, 06:18:09 am »

You could make deadly traps using moving polys... heheheh

zyxstand · « **Reply #14 on:** June 26, 2006, 07:21:28 am »

yeah, the posibilities are technically endless if we could also get TRIGGER! (triggers are events that happen when a certain condition is met (ie: a certain polygon is fired upon and everybody on alpha team dies)) - before this comes in we should have triggers FO SHO!

jbigz · « **Reply #15 on:** June 26, 2006, 09:52:30 am »

this idea sounds AWESOME on paper, but i think in gameplay, the moving polygons will become a nusance.

Trust me, you don't know how waypoints function.

It'd be a LOT harder than you think, even impossible, unless Marcinkowski would like to drastically change waypointing format (which I highly doubt, as well as implementing this).

would be neat if you'd get smashed between 2 poly's lol, SPLURT *gore*

Jester · « **Reply #18 on:** June 26, 2006, 09:12:59 pm »

Ya i think the idea would is cool but would make soldat too complex and too much like mario (even though hes cool) it wouldnt fit in soldat.

Zegovia · « **Reply #19 on:** June 27, 2006, 11:38:28 am »

Oh! and polys that move in a certain direction when the player gets close, so you can make doors!
