Hey guys...my clan is having a minigame contest and i wanted to participate. Ive made plenty of maps but never finished/fixed them. This map is a tag map where a majority of the players are snowmen. One random player is the Lava Beast who has to run around tagging the snowmen. If your tagged you become the lava beast. At the end of 5 minutes whoever is the lava beast loses the round. There are a couple rounds. Anyways i've run into some problems and not quite knowing how to solve it since ive never used this technique before. I would love if people would answer my question. What i'm doing is making a unit that has an model art of a doodad. The doodad is the snowman and everytime i test the map and kill the unit the model stays on the map, and there is no death animation. If anyone can tell me how to take the dead model off the map and/or play the death animation for the unit i would greatly appreciate it. Also as i progress with the map ill release info for anyone who wants it. Other than that, in a few moments i will upload everything that i have done. Right now spell ideas have been completed and they are all almost done and ready. I plan on redoing the terrain but ill upload pics when i get the chance!

Spells:
Snowmen-
Ice slide - Slide on ice, increasing your speed but you cannot move your character.
Avalanche - Drop a avalanche, creating a wall to shield you.
Melt Tele - Melt yourself to the point where you wont die but you can move around with the surrounding snow: Moves you to a random point in front of you.
???? - Any ideas?
Lava Beast -
Spark Throw - Throw a small spark onto a nearby snowman. They cannot cast any spells for a short amount of time.
Volcano jump - You make your way to the volcano and throw yourself in. You cause it to errupt and it throws you to 3 random areas.
(Finalizing everything...will edit asap.)

Thats a good idea, do you think i should have it an ability of the lava beast has that changes terrain or just change the terrain myself so its always there? Maybe i can have events where lava begins to spread around the volcano , limiting the area snowmen have to hide/run to.

Probably the events but then after the volcano a blizzard comes and removes the lava and slows the beasts?

Well there will be good and bad events for the snowmen and lava beast but the whole reason a round lasts 5 minutes is because after 5 minutes a blizzard comes and kills the beast and lava.

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2010: Update
I have completed 4 spells, 2 for the snowman and 2 for the lava beast. All i have to do to them is fix the tooltips and make them look cleaner. Other than that i have come up with new ideas that include:
-At certain times ( 2 min and 4 min?) Lava will spread from the center outward. If you are a snowman and you step on the lava you take damage and you are slowed.
-I have a basic image of what i want the terrain to look like and im going to remodel the current terrain soon.
-At certain times (1-1.5min, 2-2.5min, and 3-3.5min?) a small blizzard will blow through, and the lava beast will be slowed down slightly and the Snowmen will get high health regen.
I will update as soon as i make noticable progress.

Bump!
Update:
I have completed the lava spread triggers and i have begun the "Tag" Trigger. All i have to do for the "Tag" Trigger is copy it like 100 times and change the player ownership.
Todo list:
-Clean up spells
-Do terrain
-Finish last couple spells
-Finish "Tag" Triggers
-Fix health of snowmen so they dont have too much
-Fix the damage of certain spells, units, and triggers. <-- Not looking forward to :[
I'll update when i make noticable progress and learn what else i have to do.
 

Whoareyou.

Have something like Snowmen doodads and have them have a spell that makes them like one.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
