A new feature for maps!: The movable bubble shield!

    So i was experimenting around with equipment, dreaming of a movable bubble shield that would follow you around when i accidently placed a radar jammer right next to a deployed bubble shield. i immediately started pushing the radar jammer away to get it out of my bubble shield, when i saw something: The bubble shield moved when i pushed the radar jammer into it!
    I immediately started to forge this map after this discovery, and ended up with:
    BUBBLETRON

    This is how the map works:

    First: place a radar jammer in the small depression in the ground like so:

    then place the Bubble shield on either side of the radar jammer:

    Finally, crouch and start pushing the radar jammer forwards!

    This is a demonstration of how it really works:
    BEFORE:

    AFTER:

    and now if you didnt get the link above:
    DOWNLOAD HERE

    Also: this idea can be added to maps, a slight depression in the ground, can be perfect for the moving bubble shield trick!
    Note:
    info was given by coyotey boy1023 that a pallet will work as well instead of a radar jammer for pushing the bubble shield.

    Try using a pallet, that works too, I was working on a pallet racing minigame, but got bigger projects...

    yes, and i have thought about it. think of an assault game and ur trying to move a bomb down a hallway, but theres a sniper that is picking off your men? with a radar jammer and a bubble shield, and a depression in the ground of the hallway, that sniper is sitting there while you move towards your objective, completely covered!

    yes i have been working on one actually, hopefully i can master it and create a sort of caravan of bubble shields, and hopefully, make it so u can walk fast and not worry about the radar jammer to get knocked out of the little depression, hopefully, but it doesnt look promising right now...

    i could use this for a obstacle course, like having to push the bubble shield down a hallway you normally would die if you tried to go through

    how would that work

    say you have falling fusion coils, standing under the bubble shield wouldnt do anything, they go right through the bubbleshield

    really? i thought they just bounced off...

    i was thinking you could use it in a target practice map
    like where a zombie has a sniper and u have to move from place to place useing your method

    hmm... ill have to use this in my next map...

    this could be very usefull for zombies or anyone with sword!
    sneak attack (radar jammed) with moving shield... I like the idea

    These are the kind of great ideas that make great maps, like pallet parade and others. Random experiments with things that sound like you are mentally challenged!
    Its genius
