New Map! BeamBall!

[Draqz]

hey everyone, I just finished the first version of a map I have been working on for a few days. I started it mostly to get used to some triggering and cammeras and the like, let me know what you guys think! you can DL it here.

Beam Ball is a team sport. Each player is armed with a deadly laser that sends opponents instantly to jail, where they must wait to be respawned. The object of the game is to get "The Ball" that starts in the center of the court, and "Toss" it into your OPPONENT'S goal. (NOTE: if you toss it in your goal, you will score a point for the other team!). Having the ball is a burden, your movement is severely impaired and you may not use your laser. However, you have the ability to "Toss" the ball infront of you, use this ability to Toss the ball towards a team mate, over a wall, or into a GOAL! The goals for each team can be found by looking for the lightning bolts in the sky. BEAM ON!

I could use all the input I could get if anyone has time to take a look at it, thanks

Nice

I this map is nice but i didnt like some part to it. but it did help me make a new camera angel in another game im making.

I give it a 3/5

Of yeah you should make it on a bigger map.

Cool thanks for the input Angel. I mostly made the map to address some cammera issues and also some keyboard control issues, if anyone is curious about how to make some good first person controls, you should check the movement triggers out, might give you guys some new ideas. I just wanted to keep the game simple, that is why the map is so small, keeps more people in the game with fast respawns. There are still several bugs in it, thank you again Angel of Destiny, really appreciate the input.

Would anybody be interested in helping improve this map with me? Make it a little more multiplayer friendly?

Ok, fixed a ton of bugs, and added alot of different things, this is starting to turn out to be a good map!

People seem to enjoy the pansey cammera alot more than the 1st person view /sigh, can't pry people away from what they are used to. Oh well, its still really fun with either cammera! If this map gets good reveiws and a good reception, I may start work on a Beam Ball Deluxe. IF you like what you see, and want to be involved contact me! thanks = )

I think you should make the pansey cam more of a choice perplayer isnted of having a vote in the begining

 

[Draqz]

it is, all the vote does is enable the cammera, you can still change your view to whatever you like using these commands

-normal
-overhead
-pansey

The vote just makes the pansey option available, and starts you out in pansey cam.

I am having some issues with my laser trigger when there alot of people playing at the same time.

I tried splitting the trigger into 8 different triggers, one for each player, to try to avoid trigger interference with variables and such, but I'm still having some issues. Could someone please take a look at it? I submited my most recent version to the "capture the flag" section of the downloads.
