Feel free to edit the list I made...

You missed off everything that had been in Series 1 or 2. I'm already on it. Chaos 2 is in DSL.

^^ I am thinking SHINE and SHINESTRENGTH right now.

I dont think thats the effect Thyrus is after.. he wants a spot light to follow the robot

Quote from: Thyrus on April 13, 2010, 05:51:54 AM

yeahI remember that. Somone Said it could be done by a component that addsa spot to the bottom of the chassis. But when the bot is flipped, thelightspot will be flipped as well?

that is quite doable adding the light sport component.. perhaps a visible white coloured circle SZ to create the effect your after.. I could do that also.. It may look a little tacky though but it wont take much so I will make it anyway

No, it shouldn't be an SZ. It would ruin the chances of any robot with regular smartzones.

Awesome Joe!
Great to have Doom in as well :)

What do you think of the Idea of either asking Wham for his front hinge flipper or do one by ourselfes?

G.K. · « **Reply #45 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:28:47 AM »

It's a very simple edit. Ask him if you like.

Thyrus · « **Reply #46 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:30:04 AM »

Do I understand you correctly joe:
that visible smart zone does not work as a smart zone. it`s just for the look of a spotlight?

cephalopod · « **Reply #47 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:31:09 AM »

Surely if the smart zone was called something nonsensical, the py shouldn't use it?

G.K. · « **Reply #48 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:31:31 AM »

It would still affect any other bot with a smartzone. They would fire when their zones come into contact with the spotlight, rather than the bot's actual components.

Thyrus · « **Reply #49 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:35:14 AM »

yeah, that`s true. sad that there`s no way to make the arena floor following the bots.

btw:
If that thing is discussed on the Wiki I want to have an Wiki account as well.

Thy, when you asked about spotlights before, this was Click's reply:

You could maybe do it the way that Mad made his Matrix arena. Instead of having platforms appear and disappear under the bots, you would have light spots appear and disappear. It wouldn't be smooth, but it would work.

your thinking at this massively narrow minded GK

SZ's are collision objects.. the only reason robots go through them is becasue the base for the component is SZ

you can make a SZ passable with no collision just like the Lazer aim in FB's components.

G.K. · « **Reply #53 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:43:53 AM »

So other smartzones ignore them?

Thyrus · « **Reply #54 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:45:52 AM »

but If there is a smartzone attached to the bottom of the chassis and the bot gets flipped on its side the smartzone will be flipped on its side as well.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #55 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:49:09 AM »

it has no collision = it cannot collide with anything

SZ's do collide.. but if you specify Base = Smartzone the game will allow robots to pass through it

you can have this effect to any component.... just by changing its base you can make it passable

@Thyrus yes that would occur.. depending on how subtle the coloring is it may just look skinny or an oval

Not that, but like in Doomed Bots Iron Outlaw vs Flash Firefly, where your huge smartzone triggered R1885' weapons at loads of times it shouldn't.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #57 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:57:00 AM »

yeah as I said SZ's collide.... collide meaning to will register contact with any other objects

but if you specify Base = Smartzone the game will allow robots to pass through that object..

whether the robot goes through the object or not the SZ will act the same...

but if you remove that collision an SZ cannot pick anything up

G.K. · « **Reply #58 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:57:54 AM »

Oh, ok. I'll test.

Thyrus · « **Reply #59 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:09:42 AM »

This will be a bunch of many reskinned components I guess. We should make a checklist for what we still have to do.

also Joe:

In NarAI Naryar used that loadingbar. Is it possible to do that with the Robot Wars series 3 intro? :X

edit:
I asked Sonny and Wham for help.
