A racetype map recently popped into my head.i want to build a suspended track probly over foundry(cuz of all the materials) what i want to know is if i have a mancannon flaoting under the track pointed along the route in such a way that it still effects the area above it(my mates done this before for an escalator and im wondering wil it cause a mongoose to speed up rapidly?...or go crazily out of control? i want to know as every racemap needs a gimic,mine will be a loop the loop (im pretty sure its posible) So anyone who ha an experience with this or has done this before i could use some help
I suppose that it should only make your vehicle move faster... that is, if you have it positioned correctly. If you are going to do a loop, I wouldn't suggest having it in the air. I am not sure how you would be able to make a loop with only 3 Double Box heights available.
You could do it, you would have to make the loop then save&quit to get the cannons at just the right angle so they barely have any upwards effect on the object passing over it. It would probably take most of the man cannons for just one loop.
by in the air i only mean i am not using foundry's own floor.with a bit of iniatative i may use standoff instead(the whole abyss of doom could work...but maybe not) basically its just a glimpse of the whole idea but ill get there eventually
Well, I wish you luck. I don't think you could make it on Standoff with the limited number of non-movable objects available. If you would want to, you could make most of the course in the air, and then sort of use a bridge to drive down to the loop based on the ground. Let me know how it comes out.
I created a racetrack and did the following... It speeds up a Mongoose, essentially acting like a turbo pad in Mario Kart. Set a Bridge on the ground and ramped up one end just barely higher than a Man Cannon. Fit a Man Cannon under the raised end pointing in the direction you want to be boosted. This works very well for me because it not only boosts the racer, but the raised end of the Bridge, in conjunction with the Man Cannon, effectively blocks racers from going in the opposite direction. EDIT: The Man Cannon is tilted to be parallel with the ground. It is not sitting in it's default resting state.
