Traps and Waterfalls

Post by Claydoe »

LOL! I cant stop! Ideas keep popping up in my head...! :lol2:

OK on with business...
Traps, the only thing I can think of it the tank traps, but couldn't there be more?
What about MINES! Think, the enemy in closing in on your oil derrick, but then.....

BOOM! :!!!: :!!!: :!!!:

WHAT THE HELL!!! :augh: --- One of then enemy tanks get blown to bits by a hidden mine.

Now Waterfalls---
Is there anyway to make a waterfall object for maps or at least a terrain tile that looks like flowing water.... :hmm:

That is all.... :)

I think it's a nice idea, has been discussed before, type "mines" in search box.

I love ideas that would bring more realism to the appearance of WZ2100, and this is a good one for sure.

I agree. But what do you think would be a good way to counter-attack mines? :hmm:

Sensors. Easy fix.

The hassel for the anti mine player would be having to design and micromanage the sensor tanks while doing everything else. The mines can be disabled by any tank weapon, but only when detected by a sensor.

They had them before? :shock:

Guess i should have looked it up before.... :P

The idea of the waterfall was when i was thinking of making a level, but the level would make more sense if they were in it... :hmm:

Interesting. I'm curious to know why they aren't in 2.3.x or trunk.

If I'm correct mines were removed because you could easily have one of your untis drive over them and set them off. Bad balance might've also been a reason. Play NTW mod if you still want them, I think they're still in it.

its stupid that there is senzor to detect mines,that should be mid tech, there should be first a vehicle that detonates mines,it searchs for mines,she touch the mine,its hard to explain...the front thing,like many strong thick paper that is long and when mine detects the touch and activates.

My english is not my mothertounge so sorry if u dint understand!
