how about another version for compressor arena in the dsl tournament arena where the compressors quickly drop from the ceiling in certain parts or the arena . Idea 2 a tug-o-war arena where robots pull your attached by a rope and you have to pull the opposition into the pit full of tires or chainsaws or other hazards

The Racing Arena has actually being tried. There must be a way to use the KotH script to make a decent system, but robot racing has been abandoned because of no valuable ideas.

If it is possible to cause the game end after someone has the decided amount of points, then a race track is possible to make, you just set the game to end after someone has 10 points as you get 10 points in king of the hill every few seconds

OMG... Look...
I know how will this arena happen more easy...
You set time like for example 3 mins and after the first bot cross finish line the wall is fall fast and lock him in finish area and other bot stay outside without points but for the bot inside counting begin and after the time is over he will have lot points but other 0...

So it's more of a sprint track instead of a NASCAR style track.

SpyGuy has been collecting arena ideas from members for a while now so if you want more ideas ask him (my ideas are in it).

An easier way to make sure that the bot that crosses the finish line wins is by telling the arena to kill the loser otherwise you could also add points based on how much time it take for each bot to cross the finish line (the longer it take the less points you get in the end) or subtract points until you reach the finish line (this would allow you to fight the opponent in the hopes of gaining more time to finish the race)

I would make the arena more like a NASCAR track with hazards (have the start and end locations be the same) so that you can have an option to change the number of laps until victory.

Possible hazards/power-ups include:
-a forward thrust for bots that drive over a panel
-spike walls
-temporary immobilizer
-oil slick
-temporary infinite power and CO2
-electric floor zone
-fire floor/walls zone
-minor health increase spots (will only increase once so that bots don't stay on it and gain continuous health increases)
-power-ups for each individual bot's weight class

Hey... What are you thinking you all?...
You think im god of arena building?...
Tell me something more easy to make...

ACAMS · « **Reply #10 on:** May 29, 2008, 09:02:29 PM »

Why don't you make and release the race track arena as you described and then worry about different kinds. I would like to see an arena like that.

Trov, is giving you some good ideas there, Venko....

Trovaner · « **Reply #12 on:** May 29, 2008, 10:58:56 PM »

I made sure that my ideas were possible before I posted them so if you need any help feel free to ask.

70 CUDA · « **Reply #13 on:** May 30, 2008, 01:09:53 AM »

start simple. like i made a mod to the combat arena that had a bunch of fire above the floor so if you had a flipper then it was a 1 hit kill. that didnt make it easy though. lol. its a lot harder to start out with a BIG project. find a mod indea you like and work out from there.

Here's my idea:
Death Match|Battle Royal|Tag Team

This is a nice one Venko.....

Naryar · « **Reply #17 on:** May 30, 2008, 02:44:10 PM »

Moving hazards?

Huh, yes, it has been done into the DSL Cave Arena. I guess you modders know how to do it...

Im just a builder, but will go into AIing soon. Reading the .py bindings is interesting.

Madiaba · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2008, 03:05:18 PM »
