The Zipline I was reading a thread the other day where people were giving ideas of switches that they thought would be cool but didn't know how they'd work. When I saw the zipline idea i thought I'd give it a try. Here is the result. Grav lifts inside the zipline hold you against it while the man cannon and gravity pull you down the zipline towards the landing box.

Well done, i have no idea if someone has done this before, but i see its the same basic idea as the hold up vehicles via gravlift above because the bottom of it kinda pulls, most switches i see dont seem like they would actually be incorporated into a map becuase they take up too much space, money, objects etc, but this on the other hand i can actually see being used, so great job, 5/5.
my question, is, does it go the other way? it is very nice and I do like it and may use the idea, but I was wondering if you would be able to make it go the other way? I'll try it out and see if I can get it going the other way.
Holy **** I'm gonna try and use this on a map you think it would work on sandbox. I'm gonna make some room dl then study this a one a bit and see if i can recreate it on sandbox. If i ever release a map using this i'll credit you alright.
Interesting Idea. It would be kinda cool if this idea was used on Sandbox, and a Shi No Numa remake was mould with it. Nice Idea.
The idea is genius. Too bad it takes up [pretty much] all the grav lifts, still, this one's totally doable on a real map. It would make for a great one-way transport, you could even mimic its epicness into a machinima!
great idea, ive only seen this once before and still not like the way you have done it, great invention man im gonna keep my eye on you and see what you come up with
i was thinking the samr thing about using this in a map but then i realized u could probley just jump as far as that thing takes u... something like this in the cript of sandbox would probley work very well in a map... i also like how anything can go down it and how u can still aim to shoot while going down!
very original and useful switch that can be used in competetive maps. it could be used for like a one flag or something like that or infectiong good job nice thinkinh very original and useful switch that can be used in competetive maps. it could be used for like a one flag or something like that or infectiong good job nice thinking
yea never have seen this before i do like it i am working on a few maps where that would be cool but little hard to make because sometimes I'm lazy but you spent time on it and made it look good i like that 4.5/5 nothings really perfect (=
Great idea, this looks like it would be useful in an objective game type mabey.I haven’t seen a Switch like this before, good job.
hey ty for the idea ono the zipline my and my friend corgispaw used it on our infection map. The pics of the zipline are right about in the middle of the thread : http://www.forgehub.com/forum/casual-maps/79711-seperated-reunited-2-a.html ty again
If this could be re-made on Sandbox, you could have an infection orientated map. And you need to switch on the zipline, to get across the pit of doom (killballs) and to the armory. I told you my idea 'coz I just can't do it. If anyone does my idea.... I want some credit! Also, nice map.
seen it done in one of the aesthetic ml just used differently. Its kinda ironic how i have been testing this idea for a new project (without seeing this). Ill have to credit u still even if i thought of it myself like a day later, umm :/. Btw its not a switch, its aesthetics, the player isnt activating anything
me and my friend found this out months ago not to be a hater though it is really cool you should try to make a track in sandbox or something useing them and try to use man cannons as well i think they work but i honestly cant remember
im halfway through making a really good competitve, all team gametypes, which will have 2 of these in, in the crypt of sandbox, thanks for the idea, ill send you a link to the map in my fileshare on xbox live when its finished so you can be the first to see what i done with your concept
This is a very useful switch, and more importantly it doesn't use much object/budget space. I have been looking at it for a while and I found something neat. If you place the grav lifts dead-center on the bridge, you can place a mancannon at the bottom on one side so that the zipline becomes two-way (i.e. One person goes down on the right while someone else goes up on the left). It takes a little time to get working right, but the result is worth it.
I think it should be applied to say an infection map as an alternative route for getting away. Is this remakeable on sandbox?
