inventer's-block, you know like writer's-block, only with inventing new tricks with admining.

I have something in mind, and I really wanna check to see if it works, but you know, I need
RUNE ED (<----- Hates that program cause she can't have it).

What I need is like this:

 _____                    Two boxes with just a narrow tube connecting
|        |\                 Which slopes down from the higher box to the
|_____|\\                Lower Box, and the tube to be a different zone
            \\
              \\_____
              |______|

right, so the idea would be that you would make the tube's zonegroundfriction to like 0, and then have say a verticle current (if you must). But my idea is that the rune player could slide down the pipe (like a grind).

and then eventually, if this works, I know you crazy mappers could prob make some crazy twisting sliding thing to get to a secret place for a weapon. Hell this could even replace the down elevalor or stairs.

Right, and I know that the vertical current pushes you with the ground friction that low, but I don't have rune ed, so I dunno if you can just naturally go down slopes with low ground friction, or if you hafta do it with currents.

Loves and kiss to the one who figures out if you can or cant.

im not touching that one with a 10 foot pole!

i couldnt do anything like that if i tried, anyway...lol

Perhaps....Neo?

[neosark]

uh...wouldnt they slid down the pipe anyway? ya know, a thing called gravity...i know rune is archaic but it still applies (most) of the laws of physics.... lol


unless i misunderstood wat the meaning of the pipe is for...

[neosark]

ok, here ya go, but ya hafta "aim" the vertical current yourself, cause i cant find a way to do it in rune ed...

have fun

[:SOLO:[BW]Dexsius]

Hot dang yall!

Think of the possibilities - not a pipe that slides down, but a pipe that slides UP!!!!

that would e SWEET
like a suction-pipe or sumpin

hehe!

[SaintArtist]

well I mean, its like when you stand on a hill, you don't just slide down it do you? It hasta have less friction or you'll just stay there. Anyway, did I ever tell you how much I love you neo ;D Its a pity it wont let me download

[:SOLO:[BW]Dexsius]

There are "hills" which you slide down. like in hildir. The very tipy top of the map is a roof-like slant. you can fly over it, but if u try to stand on it, you slide down. Also in ragnarvillage2 some of the rooftops are "slippery" hills (slants too steep to stand on). there are also numerous examples throughout the one player game. Just experiment a lil and find out at what angle of slope ragnar falls on his tush.


-P.S. I really want to see a suction tube!

[neosark]

R U serious? ugh, dang macs, dang em to hell, fine ill add ya to my MSN and send it to u then...if i still have it

...i do...good

[neosark]

suction tube eh... *opens Rune ED* HAH TAKE THAT MAC'S lol j\k

as soon as I get virtual PC....

yeah, but you would use a normal slope (like 45°) and then, (hopefully) you could put in a really steap slope and make ragnar gain speed so you could send him flying off a jump.

another idea came in my head a little bit ago. If only I knew how to work the spider physics, then possibly you wouldn't hafta worry about falling off the pipe cause you could go on all sides (and that would make on weird battle)

[:SOLO:[BW]Dexsius]

like a half-pipe? sweet!

Oh btw if u want liek a ski-jump or somthing u can make the afore mentioned sloping hill, probly with an increasing slope (just not so much as to send him airborne before he gets to the bottom) At the end, you should be able to make a curve up, so that ragnar will be going down the hill faxter and faster and WHAAMO hit the ramp and go flyin. Of course, you have to make the "jump" part of the ramp a "slick hill"also or ragnar will hit the flat part at the bottom and stop. u understand what I mean?

Wrong way:
__

........\__/ (see, using an angle of slope that is not slippery,
like here^ will allow ragnar to gain traction, and he will not slip or even slide, he wil just stop.)

Right way:

......\
........\/ (except not so sharp an angle for the jump)

Oops, I think I explained the map wrong.

What I need is two boxes and a pipe floating out in the middle of nowhere. so that ragnar can stand on top of the box and on top of the pipe, and then slide down it and land on top of the lower box.
you know, like a grind rail.

but like you can't be inside the box really, if it was just floating in a large open space (on all sides) and I was on top of it.

oh well, anyway, yeah, half pipe or hell, I wonder if you could do a full pipe? you know, if you pick up enough momentum you could go all the way around? Otherwise you'd hafta have like some weirdly angled currents that made sure that you didn't get to the top to fall all the way back down. But I'm guessing it'll only work with spider, and or not at all, considering that spider hardly works

[:SOLO:[BW]Dexsius]

Well... the only thing about a half pipe (or a whole one for that matter) is that when you are sliding you can't control your direction. Now a grind rail seems easy enuff, but you'd need that steep angle again and you'd need guide rails (invisible ones?) to keep you on the rail. If you know what to do with the currents you might be able to make the grind rail be level or whatever you wanted. But to do it the sleezy way u just make a really steep rail.







oh also.. are you still on the demo, artist?
