Author Topic: Add-on ideas?  (Read 1950 times)

I've wanted to contribute to the community for a long time, and the closes I've gotten to was my whitelist mod, which was terrible because I got flamed for it because of the past add-on I made when I uploaded it to RTB and I didn't look through my code after Cat123 made a last edit to it.

So I've been trying to figure out what to code/model (I've gotten into modeling but I am still a beginner), I've thought of a few things but they've failed in advance.  I've made a simple level system that I was gonna post in the addons board but I knew I was gonna get flamed for that.  
So, any ideas guys?

start by making basic things and build up, here is a list of things you should make
Level 1:
A new sword that is longer
A projectile that has a cool emitter
A Particle for a brick
An event that makes a player disappear
A brick that looks like a bowl

Level 2:
A Gun that shoots 2 bullets
A Projectile that bounces and explodes more than once
An explosion datablock that looks like a player flying away
An event that makes a player send a chat message
A Brick that looks like a crushed soda can

Level 3:
A rocket launcher that shoots 2 different types of rockets
A projectile that uses raycasts
A weapon that makes a player tumble when hit
A Brick that looks like an aircraft carrier
A vehicle that has 5 wheels

Level 4:
A vehicle that can shoot projecties
A weapon that makes the player be forced in the opposite direction they shoot
A flying vehicle that has trails
A script that lets players level up and evolve based on score

Level 5:
A script that replaces bricks with more efficient bricks (2 1x1f's into 1 1x2f, or 4 1x1f's into 1 2x2f)
A Player type that has animations
A vehicle that deflects 75% of bullets
A projectile that can redirect itself

Good luck, try some more things in between/during levels to learn more!

I'm not wanting to learn anything, I just want ideas for addons I should make for the community.

a spore mod/gamemode

with player > eat events or something

Make a 2-D player thing where Player = Player collision is disabled
Like, you can WALK THROUGH other players

EDIT: ALSO, a print that displays a brickwall made out of 1x1x2 bricks

what would you use that for

what would you use that for
when people block for one
when lots of people get teleported and they're all stuck together
when lots of people spawn in the same spawn point and get stuck together
for the hell of it
to ruin the fun of body stacking


on falling platforms?
that and pretty much any tight space, like a hallway.
blocking gets you stuck in that hallway
it sucks

that
but blocking on falling platforms is one of the best features

i wouldn't stay on a falling platforms with a rule against blocking

unless nothing else to do maybe

use the addon at your own risk
beware

are you talking

about clientsided

are you talking

about clientsided
no it's like
a server-side addon
enabled from the host
affects everyone in the server
you could turn it off if you enjoy blocking at falling platforms

you could turn it off if you enjoy blocking at falling platforms
no i couldn't because i don't host falling platforms

no i couldn't because i don't host falling platforms
well if you do host
but to enable player/player non-collision (or some other name) is the hosts choice
unless it gets failbinned
i would just use it for blocking trolls in doors and hallways instead of falling platforms but that's just me
