forge help

It depends- give us more details- do u want v zombie to open it, do u want to be a premature barrier and how does this fit in with your game i.e humans go through and zombies get stuck outside etc

heres a few ideas,
If u want it be a premature barrier, make it out of pallets to smash your way through them. If then u dont want the zombie to go through make either teleporters, gravlifts or other scenery spawn later to block up the enterance.

Fusion coil drops- make your guys shields high/ speed increased to survuve the barrage of fusion coils so humans can get through whilst the low shielded Zombie gets snuffed

Using crates, the humans work together to move them in the door way so the zombie cant get through

 

maybe not a gate per se but here what you COULD do.
Make it so they "gate" is a shield wall keeping people out by having the grav lift with weapon holder method outlined in the forging101.
then you could can a chain reaction of fusion coils/anything explosive that will travel through the substructure of the map destroying the grav lift make the grav lifts and fusion coils on a short respawn but give enough time for the humans to get in.this will alow it to be opened but closes afterwards.meaning the zombies need to find another way in...actually this gives me a sortof idea for a good VIP gametype...feel free to use it in your map

 

aahh now i see, is the zombie allowed to go out v same way?

 

OKAY heres what you do.i timed out the first ime i typed this so i have to be fast.
1 set up your gate with a movable but large object eg a dumpster and
set two grav lifts that will lift it up out of the way.
2set two grav lifts outside the map but close the wall of the base or whatever your making
3 set a fusion coil in the base that is close enough to blow up the grav lifts outside.
4 set the run time minimum of the grav lifts to 2 and if possible the maximum to 2(contact rusty eagle or look at porcelain pony<featured maps> to see exactly how he did it)
5 set the grav lifts under the "gate" to not spawn at start and to have a very long respawn
6 set the grav lifts outside the map to spawn at start and never respawn again
7 now place the map.shoot the fusion coil which will blow up the grav lifts outside forcing the grav lifts under the gate to respawn instantly and
OPEN SESAME!
give credit to rusty eagle for figuring out how to achieve thi feat with his awesome toilet map

Ok, this is your first problem: double boxes don't move so you will have to use something moveable.

Second, will the zombies be with the default stuff (i.e. energy sword only)
_________________________________________________________________________________________


If the zombies are with default stuff....I do have a suggestion.

IDEA #1​

1.Try to use something that is large and movable (with foundry I would recommend the crates)

2.Then build those up to desired height and put on a very short respawn or auto respawn, but put a crack in between the crates.

3.Use the immovable objects tip on the Forging 101, just use it for the top and back however, so the front can still move.

4.Put fusion coils behind the wall.

Result:The humans are able to shoot through the crack and blow the "gate" from the back so that the crates are blown out and they can go through and get their hogs. The zombies are also not able to get through since the crates are on a short respawn or instant respawn. :squirrel_giggle:

WARNING: I have not tried this, but if you are going to do this remember to put the desired respawn time so the way could maybe be barricaded again.

IDEA #2​

1.Put timed respawns (optional) and put respawn again to *never* on some gravi lifts.

2.Make a double box wall as planned.

3.Hope that the humans get to the gravi lifts, go on top of the wall,and are able to destroy the gravi lifts all before the zombies get there.

 

Double boxes don't move, but if you want to use the plasma coil things, put a patlette or whatever in the sky, over the hole in the wall, and whenever the zombies come, somebody with a sniper or something can shoot the patlette so that the fusion coils drop onto the zombies. Although, I dunno if it would stay there when it respawned(in the air).
