map ideas maybe?

[red*kitty]

maybe you could add working retts and acid tubes directly into the map that are like indestructible but theirs like a button or a part u have to shoot to stop them from firing.

It can be done... although good luck trying to find someone to do it. Try learning how to map and you can do it. It only takes a bit of time here and there over a week to learn how to map!

Once he maps it into it.
How would he power them, and how would they shut off from a button/lever?

[nubcake]

He could add an rc somwhere in the map and have them powered by repeaters. They can stop shooting if someone shoots a button makin a one way wall surround the turrets so they dont shoot anymore. They can be indestructable with a solidslick shader surrounding them

Good idea, thank you. Hope that helped you Red*kitty.

Q:
If there was an RC built somewhere powering the placed rets, or w/e for Aliens.
Wouldn't that stop the build of another RC/OM? I suppose there could be a setting for allowance of two.

Maybe with AMP you could

well i would need a place where i can learn to make maps. and i dont really know anywhere that i can do that. also i was thinking something like a repeater that wouldnt blow up if not used that was built under like a glitch in the ground or in walls

For getting the mapping program NetRadiant, look in my sig. For where to learn mapping, look around in this subforum.

tried netradiant on my mac it wouldnt open...

Well, go through the steps of what you tried to do, and we'll try to help.
I don't own a Mac, but two people searching through google won't hurt. :p

And here is the home page to NetRadiant: http://ingar.satgnu.net/gtkradiant/index.html

I use GTKRadiant, for the time being I suppose. It suits me fine, but NetRadiant seems more updated. (Don't know for sure, although)

And I'm sure Mapping tutorials are all over Youtube, which I heard the "hip" people like these days.

i couldnt get the netradiant open because i cant download leopard i could make simple map models using sketchup tho but i dont think i could upload it into a map type.

Hmm.. A few Q's:

What are your specs? As in processor, ram, OS version, etc

And I don't think you'll need to download Leopard.

Most I can do is give some more links:

Hope those help, and be sure to read documentation, or how to's before "jumping in".
