Hey, Its Z0mbie Kitten! My friend Izano Slayer and I are having troubles with our Trench Wars map. I guess a lot of you dont know what that is but Im sure there are some people out there that remember that map from Halo 3. Ok, well on to the point. This map requires spawn rooms. However, the armor abilities do not spawn back quickly. We have no problems with the weapons, it is the armor abilities that are the problem. We need them to spawn back as quick as possible, but they take about 30 seconds to spawn. We tested it, and realized that the armor abilities spawn almost exactly when the body with the armor ability disappears. So as stated, the body goes away at around 30 seconds, so that is when the armor ability will spawn. Does anybody have any clue how to make the abilities spawn back faster? Does anyone know what the deal is with this and what to do? Please help, as this is very crucial to our map. Thanks.
Yes, I could do that, but it would upset the balance of the game. As stated in my paragraph, I say that spawn rooms are needed for the map. Without them, the balance of the game would be upset. So, my question is if armor abilities can be made spawn quicker by a method some fellow forger has found........ The map needs spawn rooms because the classes used need to be random and not picked, to upkeep balance. So thanks, but thats not the answer Im looking for..... Edit: Rawr Ben, you beat me to it!
I don't mean to bump, but does the re-spawn time for bodies decrease with the more bodies on map? That could be a solution...
I don't think I have a solution, but since the Armor Ability is tied to the body it doesn take that length of time for it to respawn. MLG has figured that a body takes 34 seconds to respawn, and if you put the Armor Ability at 1 second respawn it would respawn on the 35th second. I believe this is the fastest that it can respawn.
Sorry if Im necrobumping, but the forum rules doesn't specify how many pages back something can be posted on before it is considered necrobumping.... K well that is basically how long we fegure out the body would dissapear, and that is when the ability will spawn back. I appreciate you telling us again though because that confirms our fears, that we cannot make abilities spawn back quickly. K well thanks.
Is there a way to auto despawn bodies? Maybe having them fall off a cliff? Not sure how you move only bodies...
Yeah I dont think there is a way to auto despawn the bodies. I was kind of hoping there was and that was half the point of this thread, but it seems like it there isnt a way to despawn bodies. But just for the heck of it, next time I get the chance ill jump off the cliff with an armor ability and see how long it takes for the ability to spawn. Good suggestion, but I just dont think it is possible at this point...
