Did you make the trigger_hurt small enough so people can rub up against the cart and still push it? That would also disable the everywhere but the non-saw side of the cart.

only the teeth of the blades hurt. They do more damage the longer you touch them. Just nudging it will do about 30-45 damage, and you have the cart dispenser to heal that up quickly.

That looks like a lot of fun- can't wait to try it!

That looks good for a final stage, but for a normal stage I'd say that's much too short, and is sort of odd with no flanks/deviations from the cart path. Maybe that's just me though. Can't wait to see where else you're going with this!

I thrashcanned that part, It was a horrible failure

So instead I went to work on a completely new stage. Probably going to make this stage 2.

I have Other plans for stage 1. It's going to be a downhill battle.

Stage (probably) 2 images:

Not mirrored yet, if that wasn't clear.

But don't make that the cart automatically moves down. That's too easy

Ambience!

Good?

Looks good, it reminds me of L4D though. Not sure what you're going for here. Kinda, funny though, it seems like all of the plr maps are night time..

Ravidge · 06-02-2009, 07:59 PM

I wouldn't call it night, and I've never played L4D (other than the demo) so I guess that is a coincidence

I want to try different things with all my maps; silvertrail is bright, system is indoors and panic is dark-ish. I would probably get bored quickly if all I did was the same thing over and over, and now I finally get a chance to play around with lights

I might slightly lighten up the ambiance and shadow color...
