Note: the original Random Weapon Box can be downloaded here! Originally made by cart0graph, improved by me. All credit, praise and criticism goes to them. The original box only had a few weapon selections, and the waiting time to use the box was a minute long . This weapon box now includes a much larger weapon selection, and is also smaller and more compact. Another new feature is that the box now also dispenses Armor Abilities. Walk up and push the coil into the box... And the equipment shall fall... But how does the box work? Well, as explained in the original thread, when the coil is pushed into the box, it is shot up by the Gravity Lift, setting off a chain reaction that detonates other explosives in the box. Any weapons that are resting on the coils fall down for you to grab. Although this is my first download, do give out your comments and criticism (yes, nitpick on the fact that this was not my idea and that I only improved upon someone else's.
Its not the most original idea but I still like it. Although you should put the person that made the previous one in credits/special thanks.
I did. The link to their original map is in the post and I specifically stated that credit and praise (and any criticism) goes to them.
lol you could've asked me first I don't care though so whatever. Looks good and all, but one thing that is puzzling me is why can't Someone just jump into that tray thing?
okay, theres a reason its called a random weapon dispenser. its cuz you get a random weapon when it falls and then you cant change for the weapon of your choice. now its just a weapon dispenser
What do you mean? You can jump into the exit tray, but cannot enter the box itself unless in Monitor mode. I set it so that each weapon has different respawn time, so small arms like the Magnum and Plasma Pistol spawn instantly (1-10 seconds), while heavier weapons like the Spartan Laser and Plasma Launcher do not spawn at the start of the round (180 seconds to spawn) and you have to wait. Every time the box is used, a different group of weapons slide out, and the more you use it, the better weapons are dispensed.
This is no improvement. The point of a "random weapon box" is to give you a weapon from a box, randomly. If you can purposely choose which weapon you want to get, than what the hell's the point? You might as well put the weapons on a table and save some og your budget. Besides, the way you have it set up, people can just automaticaly choose the strongest available weapon, and not randomly get a weapon that may or may not be better than the one they have on them. Just my thoughts.
As I said earlier, each weapon has different respawn settings, and most do not spawn at start. With every trigger of the Fusion Coil, a different cluster of weapons pops out. Also, the weapons that fall out are tightly packed together, and selecting the desired weapon can be somewhat difficult.There are problems with the spawn times that I need to fix, and I will.
Dude, harsh... Although I completely agree with you, Harris, I have to say, that was...Well, probably not the best way to say it. *chuckle* But really, man. I like the weapons selection and all, but I don't quite think that I'm ready to accept that a random weapons box has to use that much budget, OR be that big. I'm hoping you can use your experience with this stuff to come up with one that can actually be recognized as a BOX, not a gas pump. Because if I did so, it would probably end up looking something like this: 0\ 00\ 000\ 0000\ 00000\ 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000 O==()00000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000GGSSGGGGG 0000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000 |U| |T| 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Yes, the blue thing IS the gun.

The only reason it took so much budget was because I was being fancy with it, and because of the secondary Armor Ability dispenser. But yes, I do believe I can make it more compact and cost-efficient. I appreciate the constructive criticism.
Even if there is different spawn times, you still can just hop in there and pick the best of the bunch.
Fixed. Box is smaller, less budget, and now falls into the water if not picked up like the original. Spawn times and weapon selection is unchanged.
...no. This one is not as big as yours and has a larger weapon selection. It also drops Armor Abilities and does not use a large Man Cannon. Instead of having to wait a minute to reuse the box, some weapons respawn rather quickly.
