Declined New idle map?

New idle map?

Current map is old and smelly... new map?

 

[KinCryos]

removing the ability for either team to camp the other one's spawn would be amazing

lately, I've been adding a few anti-spawncamping measures, such as sliding doors to prevent grenades from bouncing into spawn, and adding some Block LOS brushes to prevent unmanned sentries from targetting anyone in the spawn corridors.
I'm still working on other aspects, so the map isn't ready yet

Do you really need to put sliding doors? Surely there's a brush that blocks projectiles or something.

AFAIK, any brush that block projectiles also blocks players.
there is a func brush that prevents explosions within its volume, but it doesn't affect hitscan or fire

I thought Cylosis was working on a new idle?

I've seen a map that stops all enemy fire on an invisible wall.

 

[Morbuzka]

What if we just straight up had like, a world where those who wanna idle just idle regularly, but then, theres warioware and all that other stuff going on just outside or something, like all the minigames we had in the one server.

I don't see a texture here that would allow that.

Figured it out, linked it to krinkles.

What's your solution?

I don't know much about mapping in hammer yet, but what about a teleport exit with random destinations to prevent camping? Or maybe a one way wall that blocks anything from one side while allowing players from the other side to walk out.

Oaky found a neat fix. It's a func_physbox with the no bullets tag checked, which allows players but not bullets. As well as the team respawn which blocks enemy members from entering.

maybe two ways out of the spawn along with the usual bleeding escalator thing.

I like the map floating in the air, it adds to the map.

interesting idea. it might be possible with a logic_case entity set to pick a random destination every time someone goes through the trigger_teleport.

I also altered the spawnrooms a little; players of the opposite teams are no longer slowly pushed into the chutes like the idlers they're killing. instead, they gradually take damage, starting with 1HP and doubling, with a damage cap of (tentatively) 50

EDIT: no longer thinking of raising the damage cap.

People like to level up stranges though.

kinda impossible when someone's in spawn with a Half-Zatoichi/Persian Persuader/Conniver's Kunai hogging all the kills. even more frusting if the weapon's a non-Strange, already Hale's Own, or /gimme

I'm up for alternate damage caps though

If you mean damaging enemies that get into your spawn, I guess that'd work.

Regardless, people still like to mindlessly farm. I think you should take the idle belt idea and just improve on it.
Also, you can keep members of the opposite team from entering the other team's spawn. Not sure why it's possible in the current idle.

it's possible because Bottiger asked for it.

I suppose I could completely remake the spawn areas and replace the chutes with teleporters to the conveyors.

anyone have any thoughts regarding this?

I think a lot of people like the 'afk being pushed into the chute' but I also think people just want a different map in general, not our current one altered.
