Here's my updated version of CTF-Skyride.

Thanks to Higor for the liftcenter/exitdistant thing. I wouldn't have even bothered with the remake without that.
Also thanks to JackGriffin for his work on that trigger. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use it. Even if I could get the bots to cooperate properly with that toggle mover, it was going to screw up sometimes. It came down to a choice between gondolas that worked awesome most of the time but would occasionally screw up and gondolas that worked well all of the time and never screwed up.
And here's some action shots:

Re: CTF-Skyride 2014
I've never seen the map you upgraded, so when I try yours it will be an entirely new experience for me. I have, however, seen maps with "gondolas" or such things and just had a blurb on that.
No elaborate triggers were necessary. I'm assuming by what you've said here that you get on a gondola and then you hit a switch and then it goes across or something.
Looking forward to trying your map out tonight, if I'm awake enough when I get home to remember to download it.

Spoiler
Map I'm most familiar with that's similar is CTF-Eagles:
In that case all you need to do is enter a "gondola" and after a couple seconds it proceeds on its way across the map to the other flag base.
I've seen similar done with subway stations, train stations, and helicopter pads.

I'll be testing this on Chamberly's server, if it works for Siege I might get it up and running in uK's Siege server.
Re: CTF-Skyride 2014
What I was trying to do was a toggle mover with a proximity trigger that would go across when entered and then wait for someone to get in before it came back. Problem was no matter what you set the retrigger delay for, it was still possible to accidentally retrigger it or get back within range of the trigger before the delay was over and then you'd have to step away from it and get back in. It was just more reliable to go with a standopentimed mover that would go when entered, stay there a given amount of time and then come back.EvilGrins wrote:I've never seen the map you upgraded, so when I try yours it will be an entirely new experience for me.

JackGriffin made the trigger that had the retrigger delay but was immediately useable at the start of the game. With the default trigger, it won't let you trigger it at the start until the delay has expired. Seemed kinda silly. I think what I was trying to do would be more useful than the default.

True, just tried it and it's quite good.jay2 wrote:Just tried it; pretty cool concept.
Re: CTF-Skyride 2014
Tested, everything's fine except from the mid zone and the gondolas.
Mid suffers from the typical CTF-Face invisible ground issue, and the gondolas take 47 seconds on the clients while the server does make them run in 40 secs, this results on players being seen imagedropping in front of the gondolas.
Mover's native replication is shit.

Re: CTF-Skyride 2014
Tried it, loved it. Well, my bots tried it but there were no problems with pathing. They played the map great, even with the gondolas:
Only downside of the gondolas is they're REALLY slow. You can run across the map faster than they can travel the same distance. Mildly amusing the bots would shoot at the other gondola if an enemy player was in it, when they passed each other.
Very fun map!

Re: CTF-Skyride 2014
Thanks, glad you liked it. The gondolas being slower than on foot is by design. You're trading speed for some protection. And if need be, you can catch up to a gondola and toss a translocator into it.EvilGrins wrote: Only downside of the gondolas is they're REALLY slow.

Speaking of which, here's a pointless but amusing challenge. Start a game with just you in it, ride your gondola across, wait in the enemy base 8 seconds and get in the other gondola so that they're close to in sync. Then see how many times you can translocate between the gondolas before they get back to your base. I think my record is 7.
BTW, how is that medkit in the gondola?

I often play with the Pinata mutator, which drops items a player is holding when they're killed. Also has an option for a random health drop.Crash7 wrote:BTW, how is that medkit in the gondola?
