Author Topic: A few add-on suggestions/requests  (Read 536 times)






A few ideas I've accumulated over some time include-
Gravity Brick-I had made a topic on this a while back but it got too old and just wanted to refresh it
What the gravity brick would do is as its name suggests.  and example of its use would be a sphere of bricks surrounding it, and when you get close enough, then the gravity brick would bring you toward it, and so make a small planet.  Another way this could work is negative-players go away from it.

Something similar to the gravity brick would be gravity events-set the brick to have gravity;how much attraction/repullsion.
The difficulty with this would be the ability to make the player rotate, i.e. imagine three points, A, B, and C.  Point A would be the head of the player.  Point B would be the feet, lets say.  And point C would be the gravity brick/brick with gravity events.  The difficulty would be scripting it so that the head(A), the feet(b), and the brick were all in a perfectly straight line.

Another add-on i thought of would be a vehicle rotation event.  I know Kalphiter made a vehicle rotation server thing that one needs to type in /rotatevehicle West, but im talking about a wrench event.  i.e. if i want to launch a missile and have it travel to location x.  this is what i would put for it to travel up, rotate, over, rotate, and down.

5000    onActivate-namedbrick(missile1)-rotate west
5000    onActivate-namedbrick(missile1)-addvelocity 500 0 0
10000  onActivate-namedbrick(missile1)-rotate down
10000  onActivate-namedbrick(missile1)-addvelocity 0 -500 0

Another idea i had is music sounds, not like you are probably thinking, but like different notes and chords.  A-G chords-flat, sharp-major, minor-5, 7, 9-sustained, augmented, diminished-octaves
A-G notes, flats/sharps-octaves
different instruments would be cool-guitar/bass, piano/keyboard, saxophones, bugle/Annoying Orangeet, reg. harmonica, clarinets, trombones, flute
to go along with this would be more instrument models that don't, or could, do anything, just for show, like the camcorder
sorry to confuse anyone who doesn't know what i'm talking about.

Another has been discussed throughout a lot of topics-helis with vertical movement.  Heedicalking got it almost right with the skycrane, pressing space bar to go up, but what i would like to see, if possible, a heli that uses rapid space bar hits to go up and one long space bar hit to go down, or vice versa.

I just thought of this one while i was typing this list up, the foliage brick.  when minigame starts, the bricks spawns a vine that climbs up some bricks-when activated, the brick spawns a vine...
This could be used as decoration, use to climb up, or if one wanted to be really smart and make it an enemy, cause any flowers that bud from it to shoot corrosive acid from their centers-random

and along the lines of bricks would be like really sloped slope bricks, because i was trying to create a really big build, with my buddy Blockomanian, and the slope bricks we were using just didnt quite seem to make it, so ya.
_____________________________ _____________________________ ________

Blockomanian made a post on this, i dont know how long ago, where he requested another plane of a different size besides the private jet, fighter jet, stunt plane, mini jet, and so on.

I would indead also like to see this, more variations of body style, additions like bombs and guns, size, and player seatage.

Ya thats all i can remember now.  Please leave comments if you wish, comment and explain to me THOROUGHLY on how any of these could not be made or scripted.  Please no flaring on how long this is, or on any other reasons, inform me if you can or would like to make some of these add-ons, that would be grately appreciated.


I thought of something else, a vehicle to tow airplanes, and other vehicles, to spots.  You see these all the time at the airport towing planes behind it to it's take off point.  HeediCalking was able to make a towing device attached to the bottom of the Skycrane, so why can't this be turned 90 degrees and make it tow something behind it instead of under it.
