No Ricochet Box - 2.0.*

[mrapple]

A little solution I crafted after honeytank showed the need for a no rico box.

To position it in your map, just do

Code: Select all

group norico
shift x y z
scale x y z
end

Enjoy!

Code: Select all

define norico

[diing for the team]

So, is this allowing the shot to enter the box's wall and just not come out?

[mrapple]

Yah thats basically it.

My original idea made the shot stick to the box, but tanks could run into the boxes while the reload time had not expired and blow themselves up.

This is the most effective way I could think to do it

[Jefenry]

Pretty good, at least better than the ones I made a while ago. I tried yours out, but still managed to blow myself up because the walls are too thin. I'd add a smaller box in the center to catch most of the shots, and "panels" at 45º in the corners of the visible box to reflect shots inward.

[mrapple]

Thats wierd because if you look at the code there are two boxes. One to catch the original ricos then one to catch ones near the middle.

Maybe those corners will help. I'll test it out soon and post the results here.
