Elevator Murderer 1.3a

We have all seen murderer at the graveyard, murderer at the mansion and stuff like that.

This time it's murder at the elevator!
One of the players is a psycho who wields a huge axe and can disguise himself as a normal citizen. The other players are just normal people without other skills than suicide (for the rare occasions of getting stuck or just for fun)

The psycho wins the game if he succeeds in killing everyone else to 0 lives. Psycho loses (commits suicide out of frustration) if the suicide timer runs out, but he gets more time each time he kills someone.

The game area is a four-story building that has two elevators the other going up while the other goes down. The elevators stop for a couple of seconds on each floor before passing on to the second.
No need to mention that getting stuck in the same elevator with the psycho is quite lethal..

The psycho is a lot slower when wielding his axe than the normal people, but when disguised, the murderer is as fast as any other player and he also has a wind walk type spell on his disposal when in citizen form.

You can also find some speed boosting mushrooms growing around the house. They can prove useful when the psycho has seen you and is trying to chop your head off...

That's about everything. Play the game, comment, give suggestions and report bugs if you find any!

Have fun!

Hahha, i luaghed myself to death when playing with just LotKorn.
This would be an awesome party map!

edit: The camera is a bit close to the player and there should be a current lvl display somewhere. I cant even figure out if the elevator goes up or down. Even though its sooo funny ^^

edit: some guy said i prefer the stairs too in the 3rd game we played, lawl.

Edit: you should make something more entertaining, like new abilites to the players running around.

Actually there is. You can see your current level by looking at the food used, or you can look at the multiboard and see your current floor there.
i need these model
Then download it: http://hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/models/3022/
I uploaded the model at the same time with the map, but it hasn't been approved yet...
The only thing I suggest doing is adding arrows or something like that to show which direction the elevator will be going.
You can see which way the elevator is going by looking at the multiboard. You can see the elevators current floor and their status (going up/going down) as well as other players current floor (1-4) and status (alive/in pieces/permanently dead/out)

you should make something more entertaining, like new abilites to the players running around.
Yes, I have been working on the next version and it will include a "identify person" ability for all citizens. With that spell you can see which player owns the targeted unit (can only target citizens).

In the next version the murderer will also be always teamcoloured red, so you can't guess him that easily anymore.

Also the murderer will gain more time by killing others, since now it's very hard for the murderer to win.

Question something like he can only appear at the elevators make more then 2 make 6 or 7 because he can teleport between those elevators. And you could make a bait for the humans to get through the elevators. just a suggestion don't mind it. Btw i like the man with the axe really funny:p
 
Thanks for the comments!

I will upload a new version soon (today or tomorrow).
The new version will have bugs fixed and maybe some new features too

Edit: having some issues with the new text system so new version will be delayed

Edit#2: Ok sorry that it took a hell lot of time but this updated version should have all known bugs fixed.

Okay,first of all it s a great map.Unique elevator system,scary murderer and so on.I have been having fun for a long time now.But It is WAY TOO EASY for murderer.I mean even nooby murderer will figure out the go to human/wind walk/come to murderer form kill you.And you cant do anything about it!Sure you can use doodadds to your advantage,fake elevator go and so on.But lets be real here you cant predict where invisble uber fast murderer will go.I suggest increasing CD for wind walk , remove bonus speed of wind walk or at least NERF IT PLEASE.it becomes so boring and uncompetive to players wh o are not murderers.Thanks in advance

Kitabatake. Please make another version of this elevator murderer. Your map are great! I give you 10/10. Your map I started play few days ago.

Too bad it is too easy to figure it out who is the killer and hard to avoid him!

Fake Identity seems to be doesn't works! Killer suicide until lives -1, the timer stop! the map doodad I think need better so that can make it spooky. Add a little bit screaming sound will be more fun! The command -lv# got some bug also, when kill someone the scoreboard reset to the floor u at, and when u set to -lv1 and u reach to lv4, scoreboard become lv4 again.

very nice map, but it's boring to go round and wait for you being killed. make some more ways to win for citizens and nerf murderer a bit, please.
but still it's very fun)))

do u mind adding the suicide skill again, its just nicer to die instead of letting the murderer kill becuz theres too much time, and theres a bug, if u use the right elevator and go to floor 3, it shows 2 , if u go to floor 4, it shows 1

Just reinforcing my above commentary.

This map does not have a good replayability... It gets boring after sometime, even though the idea and all are really good. So once again, I suggest adding more unique features (could be the same as in Mansion Murderer, so it could only change location or something, or something else you think of.)
