Is there any way to use mancannons to speed up the zipline? Like, have a normal zipline with just the gravity lifts, but then somehow use mancannons that don't shoot you off the zipline, but instead speed it up. Otherwise, ziplines aren't very conducive for good gameplay. So, any ideas?
Even if it was faster, I never found a zipline conducive to gameplay. You'd be better off with something like an arch, and each side has a mancannon that launches the opposite direction, but because of the curved arch, you appear to stick to the surface.
Angling the box the gravlifts sit in is a better way to make it faster, still makes it one way though. And I hope you're not using this in a conquest map for the competition because I was going to use it lol.
lol ok, I've had some success with just making the whole zipline angle down. As in if you start at two box heights it drops you down to one box height. Does so just as fast as jumping down and could even be used in effective gameplay situations, quick exit from the second level of a base for instance, or crossing a span where nothing but death lies below.
It's when you put a grav lift in the ceiling above you. When you jump into the ceiling, you get drawn into the gravity lift.
