I'm forging a map on Standoff and I'm trying to do something interesting. I want to have Double Boxes (Open) either A) Drop from the sky or B) be shot by man cannons a ways across the map. These boxes will be filled with people, weapons, vehicles etc. I'm not sure how to make the boxes drop onto a mancannon, because they always stick up in the air and I want them to fall, with respawn points and weapons inside, is this possible? Please get back to me, and don't steal the idea.
They are static. Once the position is saved, the map no longer needs to move it. Hence, it will just float.
Yes, what Nemi said. However, there is another way. You could go into a map like Last resort and use the containers to shoot around, since those arent static. However, people are more than likely to fall out. So a way to do this could be to make it a hill and the longer people stay in the better. Put invincibility on and the object is to push everyone else out. I don't know if it is completely possible, but it's an idea.
Containers on Rat's Nest =/= double open boxes. What I'd do is experiment around more until you find out exactly which objects are static and which aren't. It's too long to list down, but basically, any objective item or spawning object (e.g., Flag return points and spawn areas) are static. Not while you're forging your map, but when you save it.
