    Jumping Sharks

    JUMPING SHARKS
    PLAYERS 4-8

    [​IMG]
    Okay so Jumping Sharks is an Infection game with a big pool with zombies with energy swords and gravlifts. On top of the pool there is a floating floor with some weird statue thingy. On the float there is the human spawns. They spawn with shotguns and magnums. Their job is supposed shoot the jumping sharks (zombies) that float. The jumping shark's jobs are to grab a gravlift and kill the humans. Zombies cant jump on to the floor, they can only kill while being airborne. So you get the idea right?

    Sadly there is only one honor rule: Sharks are not allowed to use human weapons.

    Okay here are some tips:
    1. Don't suck
    2. Don't get infected
    3. Don't slurp while drinking your tea (use your manners)
    4. I recommend to stay on top of the float. It is the safest spot for humans. If you jump off, you cant jump back up, eh its suicidal. Here is a peak of what happens.

    Poor me :(
    Okay follow these tips CAREFULLY to succeed.

    To fix this, change the setting in the player traits so that Zombies cannot pick up Weapons of any kind an give the Zombie umlimited ammo.

    Anyway, I have seen many maps like this. Seems alot like that old gametype an map called Sharks an Minos.

    Okay thanks for telling me that its not an original. You see if turn off so cant pick up weapons, then zombies cant pick up the equipment.

    It sounds to me like all the honor rules might just ruin the game for me...Did you ever think about giving the Humans insanely high Damage resistance? Something at the point where it takes 30+ Magnum shots to kill them, but still only sword hit. If you'd like, I could quickly whip up an improved version of your Gametype and send it to you through a PM.

    What do ya' say?


    Cheers,

    Eh i dont seem what problem is what you are talking about. I seemed to work perfectly in testing. Sure give it out a try.

    The platform is raised high enough so sharks cant jump on, only high enough to kill

    This map really seems like a knock off of Shark Tank by x Dream 76 x in almost all ways.

    I think that the way that the human platform hangs over the tank makes it easy for the zombies to use it as cover by limiting the lines of sight that the human has. Other than that, you should try touching up the map by making the ground smoother for the zombies. Check out the many Forge 101 guides on the site for this.
    I would also suggest doing something about the lights, to some, they are incredibly blinding when mixed with the juicy effect. Even putting them in a boxlike structure helps. It doesn't ruin the light, but makes the actual orb less blinding.

    What's stopping the zombies from jumping up onto the blue lights and then onto the platform?

    You my friend hadn't played this. Go find out your self, im tired of obvious questions and spams. THE LIGHTS ARE FAR AWAY! THE SHARKS HAVE 200 GRAVITY! Dude play the map. Also, your question was considered as spam :)

    As a matter of fact,I have,and I found it quite easy to get up onto the lights and onto the humans' platform.Yes,I knew that the Sharks had 200% gravity,but you apparently forgot about the grav lifts.It apparently wasn't an obvious question,since you failed to see what I was talking about entirely!Also,I could care less if my post was considered spam,even though I was addressing a game breaking problem written out as simply as possible to avoid confusion,which didn't work.Please think before you post,so you don't get embarrassed like you just did.

    Have you even downloaded the map, or just made a random guess? The lights are on the walls not floating on the sky. I didn't get embarrassed, how are you supposed to know if i get embarrassed? In fact i actually laughed. Also you stated in your comment that the shark would JUMP from the light, you never said anything about the grav lift. You should also read over your comment making sure it makes sense and isn't a SPAM. Case closed.

    Case opened. On the point of jumping from the blue lights, even if that isn't possible, what happens if you get collaborating zombies? All you need is one zombie to throw down a grav lift, and then get a second zombie to jump into the first grav lift and throw down his own one whilst in the air, boosting him up to the platform, where he can then kill the humans, and any who jump down can be killed by his team mates.

    And no I have not downloaded it.

    Well you haven't downloaded it but you are right. It is possible and it was attempted. The light thing is impossible and has been tried several times. Well the two zombie grav lift thing is a strategy that I didn't want to post but it is not an honor rule. I really didn't want that much people to figure it out because it would be spammed over and over. Your the first person to say it. Since Halo 3 forging is coming to an end, its ok to know now.
