Hi, its probably stupidly obvious, but how do you get the spawns to spawn in the air? it dont matter how high i place my spawns, they always spawn on the ground....

Any ideas fella's ?

Wouldn't the player die when he landed?

yes create a small pyramid- slope in the sky just below the player. so when the play spawns he slides down the side and falls to the ground.

or as i have done- get them to jump from an airplane . after they jump make the screen go black and add sound effects of parachute opening, wind, falling sounds etc ect , then after falling say for 10 secs teleport the player into the map above ground level making the screen go back to normal vision.
giving the illusion that they have jumped and parachuted to the ground .

cheers woody, will give that a try. isnt there a chance that the player will 'land' on the top of the pyramid?

nope, not if u poition it correctly.

not if they land on water for example a lake, or a big river instead

Or use a trigger_gravity to slow them down.

You can use a series of trigger_push to cusion the landing too.

What you are talking about is a plug in that is already created by Captain Wilson of the 29th Infantry Division.

Goodluck!

cheers campbell, but i was looking for a map side way of doing it, as opposed to a serverside way :)

R0ke, exactly how i was hoping to do it :p

Wouldn't landing in water after falling from such a height be fatal (or at least knock off a decent chunk of health)?

no.

In dod _pier you can jump off the extremely high cranes into water and it does no damage at all.


:)

dod_pier awesome map !

i did it with a teleport and a gravity control but i think it changes grav for the whole team
