I've just found out, if you get fusion coils, spawn them at the top of the crypt and set the runtime minimum too maximum, the continuous explosion will do two things. 1) Block of access too the tunnel between the main floor and the crypt. 2) The tunnel will spew out parts of the fusion coil, a lot like a volcano. If you place a pallet on top of the 'Volcano', the pallet will be sent flying. This could be used for a good effect; you could make a small funnel for the fusion coil parts, and you could build a volcano around the funnel.
That is pretty interesting. If you know anything about a volcano, you know that there is a long "tube" where the magma goes up, then out of the top of the volcano. This tunnel between the crypt and the main tier could act as that tube. The mountain part of the volcano could be built on the main tier.
I've added two links too pictures, since I don't know how too post the picture itself. I've got debris from it and it igniting. Keep in mind that it's the debris that can send objects flying. Also, help about posting the image would be welcomed.
yeah it is interesting, I cant remeber were but when sandbox was released earlier I could have swear that someone else said it would be a good idea for a volcano in the tunnel of the crypt. I think it will look pretty cool. edit: ok i just seen your pictures, and it does look cool but to post pics just follow this link and it will show u how http://www.forgehub.com/forum/announcements/59574-haloscreenshots-net.html and thats all you have to do to post pics. yep its that easy =] if you still need help posting pic just message and ill try to explain better.
I have two different idea for a map. First, a map that would be used for assault. Once you detonate the bomb, the volcano erupts. The next is for all one side game types. The attackers spawn at the volcano, climb on top. Then jump down. They then attack from the top of the crypt downward.
I like your first idea, but how could you make the volcano explode, when the assult bomb explodes, it seems kinda difficult to perfect it doesnt it?
For the bomb one, that won't be too hard, there are certain objects like "ramp, short" and "Ramp, long" that can be placed inside the tunnel, and will drop too the next level, moving them can drop them further down. So a base can easily be made. When you plant the bomb, it explodes, right? That means, if I keep the explosives 'alive', the bomb detonating will make them explode.
just thought of a kick-ass map idea. 4 bases, for 4 teams. assault. bomb in the crypt. go down into the crypt and each team fights eachother around and in the shape of a volcano. the victorious team goes through a teleporter, leading up to the skybox. they send one person to go back down to the ground floor, and drop the bomb down from the skybox. the guy on he ground catche it and places it in the crypt tunnel, which then sets off a massive explosion of instantly-respawning fusion coils and stuff.
Pretty cool Idea . But the only way to limit a person going into a teleporter would be changing the assault gametype so the bomb carrier jumps higher or something which wouldn't work with your idea because you said they all go up there. Only the bomb carrier would be able to go up there. So it kind of rules out that idea.. Also, the guy who plants the bomb has to die in the Crypt hole.
wait....what? you completely misunderstood. everyone can go through the teleporter, but it would take so long to get to it it would be worthless if the other team already has the bomb. so the team that gets there first grabs the bomb, drops it, and then have thier team catch it.
