I need some ideas for items, traps, obstacles and such for a racing styled map.
Just a couple of ideas could be engines, tires and gearboxes (guns too, since you can shoot eachother, they shouldn't be too damaging thou).
Make the names stuff like Lolengine, Roflmotor, Noobtire etc.

Item Template:
Name: -
Description: -
Effect/Model (if needed): -
Triggered or not: Y/N

Obstacle/Trap Template:
Name: -
Description: -
Model: -
 
Trap ? How about spike ? Blow off the tyres and reduces it's speed by 75%

Name: - Spike

Thanks for the ideas. ;)

EDIT:
Need more ideas. About.. 4-5 traps more. And about 10 items. :)
 
Dwarven Liquor

Potion of divinity

A fiery substance that powers up the engine, speeding up the movement for 30% for 15 secs. When used there is a 5% chance that the driver will think "why not?", take a sip, and get drunk (miss chance, mana loss, whatever).
 
Engine blaster (item, 3 charges)
Doubles your speed for 5 seconds at the cost of X hp
Icon: dunno... don't have WE open (I never have xD)

Steel chassis
Gives more hp but reduces speed
Icon: again... WE closed

Hyper speed
Turns the vehicle into electric charge and moves it extremely fast to a certain point (gains 0 collision), damaging any vehicle it passes trough
when it reaches the target point it stops for 3-5 seconds and releases electric sphere slowing every nearby vehicle by 50% for 5 seconds
Icon: ....

Brilliant ideas guys.
I really like the Dwarven Liquor. :p

EDIT:
Is there any item that gives movement bonus except boots of speed?
 
you can make any item and give it the "movement speed bonus" ability...

here are some classic weapons (make them as attachments):

Rocket launcher
Fires 3 rockets to random directions in front of the "caster", cooldown 10-20 seconds
Icon: Cluster rockets?
Effect: Cluster rockets?

Minigun
Deals low damage, but shots very fast. Has a 1% chance to breach enemy tires slowing them by 40% for 5 seconds.
Icon: There isn't a perfect icon in default wc3 directory for this one... you should dl some
Effect: Some rapid fire coming out of the minigun
Can have 2 miniguns at the same time (1 on each side)


for the obstacles you could make a tree that fell on the road blocking the path, or some shallow water - when the vehicles go over it they are slowed by 50%

here is 1 funny "ultimate" trap:
calls stampede of elephants that go over the road, any vehicle that gets hit by the elephant is damaged and slowed...
 
Slick Oil
Description : A slippery oil that could cause the car harder to be manouver
Description : A pool of yellow substance.
 
Name: V16Engine
Description: This is the most powerful engine, it will make the car move faster.
Effect/Model (if needed): Nope
Triggered or not: Nope

It will need a pretty good boost of speed and horsepower tho.

Edit: Yes, it is named after a real engine!
 
Traps/Obstacles

Name: Mikibishi
Description: Ninja's best friend, now available in Azeroth. Throw these pointy metal stingers on the ground to get those behind you a couple of flat tires. Any opponents driving over these with <name one of your tires> or tires with lesser quality will have a flat tire, reducing their speed by 40% for 5 seconds.
Model: Puddle of water, but green, blue, or yellow.

Items

Triggered or not: Not necessarily

Name: Tires of L33t H4xX0rn3sS

Triggered or not: I think so

Name: Sapphirons Whistle
Description: A small, blue whistle that belongs to the mighty dragon Sapphiron. Blow it to call upon Sapphiron, who will pick up your car and drag him over the road at twice your normal speed! While airborn, you're immune to traps on the road and have no collision size (after all you're flying over everything). Sapphiron drops you down again after 6 seconds.
Effect/Model (if needed): A large, blue dragon that picks you up and throws you down again.
Triggered or not: Hell yeah

Name: Sneaky-Bastard-Chain

While active, you will always be right behind the target car with a 300 distance between you 2. You will be travelling at the same speed as he does, untill the effect wears off after 5 seconds and you will have to drive on your own again.
Effect/Model (if needed): A meathook-like effect between you and your target
Triggered or not: most likely


Name: Scroll of the Kodo
Description: A magical scroll with a kodo sealed inside it! Use this scroll to replace your car with a kodo beast for 7 seconds. While on a kodo, you will move at 150% of your normal speed and are immune to any negative effect. Also, every unit hit by you while on your kodo will be knocked aside and stunned for 1.5 second.
Effect/Model (if needed): A kodo that replaces your car
Triggered or not: At least the knockback will need triggers
 
TRAPS / OBSTACLES

Name: Massive Explosion
Description: Once touched, triggers a very powerful Massive Explosion that sets every vehicle on fire. The vehicle that touches this must have a Explosion Triggerer, otherwise it will set the vehicle instead on fire.

units\creeps\GoblinLandMine\GoblinLandMine.mdl (Before it explodes)

Name: Blunt Wooden Nail

Model: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=88771&prev=status=g&search=spike&d=list&r=20

Name: Blunt Iron Nail
Description: This nail is blunt, but look at its material. Such a hard and refined iron is not one you would run over. And if you did run over it, you have a 50% chance to run out of control.
Model: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=88771&prev=status=g&search=spike&d=list&r=20

Name: Sharp Wooden Nail
Description: An upgraded form of the Blunt Wooden Nail. Certainly, this upgraded nail is really one of a kind. Although it is wooden, it is sharp and will definitely spin out of control very easily. 25% of getting out of control, and if you did get out of control, I say good luck...
Model:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=88771&prev=status=g&search=spike&d=list&r=20

Name: Sharp Iron Nail
Description: This nasty little thing is the source of most vehicle accidents today! With so many of them lying on the road, it is not a surprise to see so many cars getting out of control. 50% of getting out of control, but since it is Sharp, I would suggest you pray hard you don't get out of control.
Model: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=88771&prev=status=g&search=spike&d=list&r=20

ITEMS

Name: Explosion Triggerer

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done
    +1
  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
