Hey All
I've been working on the new Wild Robots arena (yes, i know my dummy compiler isnt working...THANK GOD FOR MY LAPTOP! <^-^>)
And heres what i have so far:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51450screenshot_100.bmpYes, its a modded BBEANS 4 Arena (hope you dont mind, Click...)
Basically, my first call of duty was to get rid of the center blade zone:
A: Bots would have to go round it, but if they where rather big, they would get caught while a smaller, thinner robot beats then to a pulp.
B: It would get in the way of the orbit cam.
C: I wanted a normal fighting area, so that bots could properlly show themselves off.
WHAT TO DO NEXT:
Flipper, i feel they'll be TO dominant (Especially if theyre a powerfull one, like High Flyer 2)
So, with a bit of help and guiding, i'd like to have a slot filled in with another wall in the 4 walls around the arena, that would lower and raise.
So, when a bot goes out of the arena, instead of saying "YOUR OUTER HERE!" the bot thats out of the arena would have say, 15 seconds to drive through the nearest gap, back into the arena and into play.
Once a bot goes OOTA 3 times, the fights over.
I know this has been done before, but i think its the only way to get longer fights and episodes without putting "Special" fights in the middle.
Also, it would give pushers and rammers a bit longer in the arena.
Once thats done, well, i may add some over hazards, like a pit, so that pushers and the like can have a bit of a fighting chance.
If anyone can give me some help with doing the arena walls, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Wham
