Quote from: Clickbeetle;15247
Firebeetle tried making a Carousel of Doom arena, where you fight to stay on a spinning merry-go-round, but unless you set the floor friction to the point where you can hardly drive, the floor just slides underneath the bots and the bots don't move.  And if the friction IS that high, the floor has to be spinning at a snail's pace or else the centrifugal force will hurl all the bots off before you can so much as say "It doesn't work."


What if you make the background spining or something?

I think I like it Cuda.  But it would me picture it better to have a front and/or side view too.
Input is appreciated. :)

ask you you shall get it. this is almost what whole thing will look like. its 4 to 8 sided depending on lag factor. each side and lvl has a diff hazard. also mad if we can do it can we simuate an avelance with the force coding we used on my old HELL TOP arena?  IF you can get to the top you must sit there for at least 2 sec. this is so people cant just jump over it and win it takes skill to get it.
Holy crap they do exist!!!! :Rob2

Well, it's do-able. We need to IM some details, and I need some more view angles and dimensions so that we're on the same page.

Cuda, nice idea on that pyramid.  You can probably mod the DSL Pyramid for those trails .....
