You'd need to lower the walls though

Turn it into a drop zone of the Robot wars arena.(If anyone has ever played on the small arena with hazards you know what I mean)

sorry for the bump (seems like the appropriate topic) a few questions I have about the DSL soccer arena I was wondering if someone can help me with (mad or duck are the main 2 im thinking of ;-))

basically I think the arena glitched one time I was playing it and there was 20 + soccer balls around the arena, is it possible to set that as a normal thing ?
on the soccer ball topic is it possible to make them do damage OR subtract points ? either one I dont really mind but I dont want either to be high amounts
and finally the goal area... can that be made into something like the compressor arena or the pits like AON arena or electric arena 2 off the beetle bros site

Thanks in advance, Im basically wanting to make the soccer arena a combat like arena :evil:

Well my poor knowledge with arenas still says : yes, you can do this for all the three.

if you turn the hazards off in the soccer arena,all of the balls will fall in the arena

basically I think the arena glitched one time I was playing it and there was 20 + soccer balls around the arena, is it possible to set that as a normal thing ? Yes, in the arena Python.
on the soccer ball topic is it possible to make them do damage OR subtract points ? either one I dont really mind but I dont want either to be high amounts? Yes, also in the arena Python.
and finally the goal area... can that be made into something like the compressor arena or the pits like AON arena or electric arena 2 off the beetle bros site? I don't quite get this question...

Wait, I'll tweak it out.... BRB.

Here's a link to the py: :-D

Just drop this file into your 'Arenas' directory.

Notes:
1. The balls fall out continuously (instructions for adjustments are in the py).
2. The balls are very damaging (instructions for adjustment are in the py).

They are fairly easy to adjust, so anyone can do it (always make a back up).

You might explain the last query you posted.....

Have you guys heard of Beyblade? Well can someone do a beystadium arena?

Thank you BIG time Mad... Its an idea im working on for a new tournament... as for the last one I was basically wondering if robots were able to enter the goal zone and receive damage like the outside of the Raw arena ?

Thanks again, I wont forget to credit you for the arena mods

Edit: just tested it out and I love it Mad, exactly what I was after :-)

You can make all the soccer balls come down by turning off hazards. All the balls start on the ground :biggrin:

JoeBlo · « **Reply #92 on:** July 19, 2009, 08:24:39 AM »

yeah S.T.C said before hand... but I like how mad programed them to just frequently drop... its like 20 drop zones lol it will be a fun tournament when its ready lol

There is a geomobject that keeps the bots from entering into the goal, so you need to do gmf surgery to do what you want.

I'll get the anesthetic.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #95 on:** July 19, 2009, 08:48:27 PM »

thanks for your help madiaba... the alternate py you made is probably enough anyway I was just trying to get an arena that was original and not boring but 20+ dangerous balls continually dropping should do it :-D

JoeBlo · « **Reply #96 on:** July 20, 2009, 07:54:15 AM »

hey Mad (or anyone else if they can help it would be great) does it require GMF editing to add the balls to another arena say the Clawtop ? I made a deathmatch py file that has the Clawtop GMF and all the soccer arena scripts, etc... it didn't crash, the arena worked fine but just no soccer balls ??

Edit: I did copy all the soccer arena stuff and clawtop arena stuff in one new file

Madiaba · « **Reply #97 on:** July 20, 2009, 07:59:56 AM »

1.In general:
-the 'objects' of an arena are in the gmf.
-the 'dynamics' of an arena are in the py.

2.If the compiler will work, you can put any thing in any arena.
(You can also put an arena inside, on top of, or next to another arena. You can make the arena (or all arenas) disappear during the match. Etc....)

BTW: I noticed that Phil added some more tweeking instructions to Duck's tutorial on arena making. You might check it out...

JoeBlo · « **Reply #98 on:** July 20, 2009, 08:06:15 AM »

So I have to decompile both GMF's and find the soccer ball section and add that to the objects of the Clawtop ?

Madiaba · « **Reply #99 on:** July 20, 2009, 08:14:47 AM »

Yep.
1. Add the balls to both the GEOMOBJECT section above, and the RIGIDBODY COLLECTION below.
2. Change the total number of geoobject count at the top, and the RB collection count too (there are 2 places here that list the count in this RB section, be careful).

Also: Be careful about adding too many objects, especially 'round or spherical' objects, that add tons of vertices for the comp to crunch. These shapes add up fast.
