LADDERS"

[SnaJperME]

Simply a ladder block just like the standard one but you can climb them up. you got 10 of them.

[Gorman]

How would they be acquired? Would they replace grenades? How do you think think this would impact gameplay? What problem are you trying to solve with this addition?

[SnaJperME]

1.No grenades should stay lol how do you get on that idea ?
2.with this you can climb easier building and everything.
3.You can make easier a watch tower without wasting time on making standard leaders in spiral form .
4.Cause you dont need to make stairs you can full up your watchtower with block so it would be powerful-er.
5.Will make building easier making more players to build because this game is about building and shooting not only shooting like some people think
6.Why a suggestion must " Solve a problem " its meant as a fun and pleasure addition for the game.

[Gorman]

So to sum up;
- To make building faster and easier.
- You have not thought about how one can acquire ladders.
- This fills no niche in the game and is purely for your pleasure.


Well I think you will face overwhelming rejection for voicing an idea with that logic behind it, so I will leave this thread up to the others.

I explained it enough you spawn and get 10 Ladder blocks that's all simple just as aos is. Anyway you don't have to reply anymore cause you said what you had.

[CalenLoki]

How do you want to show them, if every block in the game is full (not transparent, no gaps), monochromatic (one colour), prefect cube (always the same size). Some special colour for ladders?

Also, what about ladder facing? currently maps remember only colour of each map voxel, so even with custom models for ladders you'd have to add another value to be stored.

Overall I don't like the idea. In topic of new blocks, I'd rather have concrete added.

[SnaJperME]

About the block color it would have Stripes and if you select Green block colour the stripes would get the inverted colour of green (pink)

IF you mean map editor you cant place it it would be the easiest
And if you mean what if a Ladder get diged it turns into a standard block ( is the easiest solution)

Maybe only "engineers" may pack ladders? Same way only a "medic" could pack a health kit. Both would replace Grenades.

[MegaDeuce]

I don't think this would work in pyspades, might be something that the main developers would have to include.

BUT! I like this idea, and the ladder pieces could just be placeable .kv6 objects like the tent :)

[Jagira]

thats a nice drawing
*cough* *cough*

Classes won't be added. Choosing secondary equipment would be fine though. There is already 10+ threads on this topic so no need to discuss that here.

As far as OP is concerned "You just have them".

Indeed, there is no way that a server script can add additional objects. This would definitely need to be a clientside feature - at the moment as with all block types and weapons.

Trust Gorman to get down to all the details and nitty-gritty stuff.

Hmm, ladders...yes they seem to have a purpose but I don't particularly think they're in the essence of the game for the following:

1. I don't think AoS can handle blocks that are smaller than the current standard sized block. I might be wrong, so don't quote me on this.

2. We've only ever had 1 block type to play around with, and I think for the moment it's enough. No need to complicate things by adding ladders.

Naturally! We need more than "I like ladders so we should get dem" to make a decision :P

AoS should be able to - for example when you shoot someone there is very tiny blood spray. Ladders should work fine as kv6 models - but we SHOULD add in some kind of dimension limit otherwise no doubt people will make them too big and the animations will look crappy. Collision with non-full block entities should be no problem either.

I agree with this, we do not need 30 different block types.

Ok ok what about nice kv6 ladders would be possible and awesome ?

Possible, yes.

Awesome, questionable. For example I doubt any good player would use a ladder when they can use 1 block to climb up 2 blocks...
