The whole area is 1536 Hammer units wide. Here is a Hammer shot with reference HWG :

For me it's the right size : a wide area, but with a range short enough to prevent the snipers from being overpowered.

It needs a spinning fan to cast even more sexy shadows.

and give performance the final bullet in the head.

Performance is for the weak.

 

[Beetle]

why worry about performance when you can have a pinwheel of shadows?

 

[re1wind]

well, you won't see it move much due to being a slideshow, and if you're really lucky, you won't see it move at all when your framerate synchronises with the fan's rotational speed (or one of its harmonics)

 

[Corvatile]

Good framerates are a crutch for people who can't appreciate giant fans.

Here's a crudely put together gunship. It travels in a fixed path in this example. If I find a way to make it user controlled then I might add that to its functionality. Here it is in action.

By the way, I'm not sure what kind of game mode to use this for. I was thinking mvm where you could pay credits to fire it on the bomb carrier, since in this example the funship shoots only at the bomb regardless of whether or not it's being held.

I'm not sure but I think tf_point_weapon_mimic can't hurt bots.

Nice. Tried something like that once, but that was before we got proper projectile firing entities :v

Now I want to make a koth map with a zeppelin that shoots rockets at whichever team doesn't have the point at the time.

Stop giving me ideas guys goddammit

Now I want to test somebody's tf2 map with a zeppelin that shoots rockets. Great, thanks.

Now you have to make it.

Would it be an annoying gimmick or a cool feature if I made a koth map that had earthquakes at random intervals?

 

[Freyja]

It was done with a TC map by icarus, Faultline. It was a very annoying gimmick.

 

[Corvatile]

Every time I have cool idea it's already been done.

Heat that idea up... you might end up with a lava idea like lolcano... that lava idea was done far before hightower_event.

Ideas dont allways have to be original, the way you use it should be. If you think you are able to make an earthquake add to the map but not be anoying then it could work. Best remains to tie it to events, so maybe on point capture?

This is the new tethys 3-2. (Not the final).

 

[The Asylum]

that point is the tits

 

[Ælement]

The trick to getting the ideas first is to use new entities for them :>

except it wasn't a cool idea

it was a provably terrible one

Gargh now I want to make a koth map where whoever owns the point gets helped by hovering zeppelin.
