IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.

Moderator: Pharaoh_ Date: 04:01, 31st Mar 2012 This resource is heavily map-specific, uses waits and contains an inefficient production of loops under a timed event. It also affects only Single Player mode. Needs fix.

This is still way too map specific because you're using regions
in the test map. Currently, it only functions for 3 players. You
need to make it MPI so that it can work for any number of players.

You should use arrays to achieve this.
Car[1] -> player 1, Car[2] -> player 2, etc...

Also, that wait is totally unneeded.

This system should allow the user to register a 'car' for a player.
The user should also be able to enable and disable the system at will
(Use a boolean for that). It has to be something you can plug in to
your map and work with easily.

1) There are waits /everywhere/ in this system
2) Your car automatically drifts right
3) Can cause major lag if you stay offroad for too long (which can cause you to have to Alt+F4 out)
4) Isn't really a system, it's more of a map as it's not (really) applicable to any other map other than this one.
5) Crashed cars can overlap
6) Can generate "unavoidable" crashes thus meaning it's not really fair
7) You can die twice if cars are overlapping at the same time
8) Requires lots of pre-defined regions
9) The only real use is if somebody wants to have a "driving" section to their map, and even then it'd require quite a few modifications so that that'd be possible, such as a current distance counter
10) The "crash" area does not match the size/area of the cars
11) It is /Not/ really configurable other than a few sounds
12) Is /Not/ MPI
13) Is unit-specific
14) The multiboard would display to everyone if there were multiple people in the game
15) Trigger names are not really appropriate

All I can come up with for now, plus I'm a bit too lazy to find more

Ok... I'll try using vairables so it can be used for other maps. And what's MPI? I know MUI. Is it something like that?

Ok. I'll post it.

 

[zv27]

This will certainly be rejected

MPI - Multiple Player Instable

Ok. I'll make it useable for multiplayer. I'll make a map using this...


Edit:

Yeah. I always get rejected.

 

[Noobsmoke]

The concept it's very good (not so good for a system but for a map is).

Yeah. I always get rejected.

Am I the only who noticed what just happened up there?

Sorry.

I think I saw that too...

I saw that too... He is double posting while he is saying not to double post...

EDIT : I fixed it a lot. It's much better now.

 

[shinji]

You can reject this if it's unacceptable.

why just use Azeroth grand Prix,they are much better

I know. This is not so useful for most maps. But for some maps. Like if you're going to make a map like "Zombie Highway" (IPhone app)
