**mervaka** · 04-06-2010, 02:39 AM

i've finally got this map its own thread!

http://mervaka.co.uk/~mervaka/ff_castle_beta3.zip

a few minor additions to beta3, including the wooden spikes on the outside and extra dynamic flag props on the inside :P

Map looks ballin'.

GeoKill-----> · 04-06-2010, 02:15 PM

Wow this map is mega old

Dr.Satan · 04-06-2010, 06:37 PM

lol I always wondered when you would finally start working on this again merv. I used to love to just fuck around on here and test shit.

zE · 04-06-2010, 11:15 PM

interesting map, tested it last night, but i dint really understood the gameplay of it lol. But looks good : )

Take team flag to one of the four lights.
Defend while scoring over time.
???
profit

**mervaka** · 04-07-2010, 01:08 AM

he's right, it definitely needs to be more obvious in things like where you can go. i'm working on that right now.

**squeek.** · 04-07-2010, 01:12 AM

I haven't played it, but one thought overwhelmed me when testing it out:

Why have a complicated elevator/security system when you can just rocket/pipe jump up to the top every time? Why would anyone ever go inside the castle?

EDIT: I tested the one in the beta (and didn't update beforehand), so this post might be irrelevant now.

**mervaka** · 04-07-2010, 01:18 AM

that's also being addressed. i put those stakes into the upper walls (see screenshot) to make it harder, but i might also put in a deflective clip brush.

eventually i'll do something more interesting with the yards, and probably put something better in.

**Elmo** · 04-07-2010, 09:17 AM

LOL I thought the spikes were there to help people get up

zE · 04-09-2010, 08:05 PM

True, all dudes go demo and soldier and fly over : D

**mervaka** · 04-09-2010, 08:32 PM

righto. any other ideas i could use for blocking outside routes, without making it a complete eyesore? :/

Trebuchets that launch boulders at you if you try to jump up.

**mervaka** · 04-09-2010, 09:30 PM

nice! but no :/

**squeek.** · 04-09-2010, 10:11 PM

I say just block it with an invisible textured brush.

But it would be so cool! You just have to code the functionality for spawning projectiles via lua.

Hawk Eye · 04-10-2010, 06:45 AM

Now I just need to figure out a way for the env_entity_maker to spawn a phys object w/ a velocity depending upon the position of the player who triggered the event. Or to make it even more complicated, do some quick maths to have it arc like an actual boulder into the location the player will likely be in once the object reaches them.

**squeek.** · 04-10-2010, 07:00 AM

You can also think about using entity:SetVelocity() on the spawned physics object. Trigger_push is unreliable at best.

**mervaka** · 04-10-2010, 11:45 AM

yeah, ideally we'd get those scriptable clip brushes in!

they need to be team based gates, sometimes also one way
