Got another Idea what if there was a reskined soccer arena for the World Cup.
Is there a way to make the AI actually try & get the ball in the goal?

hink Trov said it was possible, but I dunno. Getting a 2vs2 footie match would be awesome.

It may be possible.... The hard part is tracking the location of gmf objects.
Input is appreciated. :)

That was a good skin.

I had an idea about the old Gauntlet round from Robot Wars UK, where you had to get to the bottom of the course avoiding various obstacles, but I imagine it'd be really hard to actually do. I thought of making it a 1v1 Race, but then you'd have to make them not try and head for each other. Then I thought about, when one robot reaches the "end zone", the  rest of the arena becomes OOTA territory, and the other bot is eliminated, but I'm not sure how that could be done either.

I need to research arena modding. XD

If you want to increase the chances of your arena being made, supply pictures/drawings of what it looks like in your mind. I'm in the middle of one idea from this thread (for the most part it is made except I'm in the process of adding some extra little features).

I've never seen a good enough picture of the Gauntlet arena to even consider it (a drawing would suffice).

A 1v1 race wouldn't be too difficult to accomplish but I think Click will have a straight race track for the new Drag Race Arena. What kind a race track are you thinking of (MarioKart-style or NASCAR or other)?

Keep in mind that I can't do everybody's ideas but I love to read about them. I usually try to balance the difficulty in making the arena with the enjoyment out of the end result.

Not the arena, the soccer (football) game.

Honestly don't know how well this would work, but thought up an arena for team matches, here's an extremely simplified pic of the idea...
 

 
the green squares are the starting position for 1 team, the red for the other team.  The dark blue is a wall.  After a minute or so, the wall drops, allowing the previously isolated bots to enter the fight.
 
Or, alternately if it can be done, when one of the 'main bots' is destroyed, the wall isolating it's teammate drops.  the teammate of the surviving main bot doesn't get to enter until it's teammate is destroyed. 
 
I don't know, was just playing around with ideas of making different versions of team battles, that's all.

yeah it is..

the first option (1min walls down) is defiantly very doable.. Madiaba was working on similar for Ianh05's Robozone

I figured version one would be the easier one, but I'd love to see version 2.   Either way would be fun, though :D

I think it could be done but thats for Madiaba and Trov to give you that answer...

It's a good idea, Yoda. And it can be done, NP.
Trov, I and Spyguy thought up an arena where you face off against 3 opponents, 1 at a time.  You must defeat the first to have access to the 2nd, and so on.  You have the regular 3 mins to get past all 3 and win the match, else  :dead: .  Ths is not as easy as it might sound.  Usually the other bots inflict damage upon each other, which helps your bot defeat them.  But here YOU are the ONLY source of damage your opponents will encounter.  So while you are partly damaged from your 1st opponent, a new undamaged opponent is lurking for its chance at you.  Then repeat this one more time. :ouch:   The odds are roughly 3/1 against you.  Nice challenge.
 
The partitions can be:
1. addextra (inserted gmf walls)
2. arena geomobjects that are lowered to release next opponent
3. arena geomobjects that are phantomized so the next challenger can step up to face you.
 
 
This is not a difficult arena to make at all.
As Joe mentioned there's one almost completed for Ian.
 
(Note: It pays to talk loudly and carry a big............ Visa card.)
Else get ACAMS to double our Mod's pay: Let's see... $0 x 2 = ?......, NVM.

I was going to ask you about that.. always wondered if that code would work in normal arenas.. just never got the time to try it
