Me and my friend had an idea about detinator mines.... it consists of 2 new items, the mine, and the detinator. you set the mine where you want it, and use the detinator from you inventory to set it off.

The mine should look like what any kind of mine would look like... you should know how a mine looks!
The detinator should be like a square box in your hand with an entenna on the end, with a red button in the middle of the remote, whene you click, you press the button and "BOOOOM!!!!". (if a mine is set out)



Good idea?

Mines generally explode when somebody touches them or they are disturbed, not when you press a detonator.

A detonated explosive would be useful, though. Make both use the same item - when you use it, it gives you the explosive in your hand to throw somewhere, then once it's been set you are given/use a detonator for it instead.

I remember somebody having a detonator and a defuser awhile ago. they were fun!
If the mine is made, it should either be very small and simple, or it detonates automatically after awhile (to reduce lag). both would be best.

The only problem is how to make it invisable to enemies. That way the enemy can't see it and will step on it by accident and get blown to peices. It the enemy can see it then he/she will always avoid it. But then again it will be spammed throughout servers. You can also make mines out of events.

Mimes out of events? I'd like to see that.

Or we could make mines, and the Bond watch. :D

This limits you to only one bomb at a time, which is a bit pathetic. Personally, when I'm using explosives I like to make sure everything is going to burn up nicely, instead of just a mere single explosion.

Idea: You can pick up more than one bomb item like Grenades, so you can have five bombs in a line or something.

Perhaps detonating explosives or other bombs near a bomb will explode it as well - allows for chain reactions.

Easy solution to spam problems. Limits.

If you throw the Detonator for a set mine away, you die or leave/join a minigame, your mines explode? Then it's effectively limited to 5.

I'd rather they disappear to cut down on explosion lag, or interference with the minigame.

Or when you place a mine the item switches to a detanator to prevent to many mines at once

Ok.... wow, glad you peeps love this idea.

PROBLEM SOLUTION 1.

there should be like a max amount of mines (detonated explosives),
normal people can have 1-10, administrators can have 1-20 and super administrator has infinite.


PROBLEM SOLUTION 2.

When you pick up a mine you have ammo... (depending on there rank)

When you throw the mine it switches to the detonator or it could turn into a detonator.

Mimes out of events? I'd like to see that.
NOT MIMES!!

OnTopic: This is awesome, good for mini-games.

why not just do what they did with the portal gun?

explosives is left click while detonator is right click
