Collapsing buildings kill players?

[CampinDan]

Alright, so I've noticed that buildings collapsing regularly isn't lethal unless some unfortunate player was high enough to die of fall damage.

I thought of this: Anyone hit by the building as it falls takes large amounts of damage (50-100, depending on how they're hit and/or size of the building) as the building collapses?

A good thing about this is that one would be able to kill possibly half a team by destroying a building successfully. This will also make players have better thought put into protection of their constructs.

Just a thought, open to other opinions!

(Also just saved you all from 666 topics. Thank me later :3 )

Wow, you good sir are a genius, i cant belive that no-one else has thought of this before (to the best of my knoweldge) and its always nice to see a new guy with original idea's

I totally agree with this though, if it was implimented, it would add another important element to building for the game.

The only problem i could see with it is greifers using it to teamkill, but greifers greif anyway, so i doubt it would make the problem worse.

Ah, yes, I forgot about them. Maybe some sort of way to detect griefers knocking over buildings occupied by allies as friendly fire? Nearly impossible, I guess. Hopefully kicks/bans will do their job.

Either way, thanks for the compliment! ^_^

I already suggested it, I cant seem to find it, but I've found at least another topic suggesting the same:

For the better falling animation i want to redirect you to this: viewtopic.php?f=65&t=7740&p=95528&hilit=falling#p95528

I really hope to something like this make it into the game at some point, as it would give the player the choice of trying to hold a fortification and risk it collapsing in on them(not sure on how much damage it would cause?) or abandon the fort early and try to find/build another.

+1 I`d want this, but only affects enemies, to add more people to start flanking

[aceospades]

Well, this isn't original, and it's a bad idea. Falling buildings killing people would be no fun. People would build towers wide at top to drop on the enemy. So no.

[Priok]

what's the problem with that? it makes the game way more fun I think. this would be one of the best features possible to implement, it would make it so people actually go for taking down structures.

[USABxSLAYER]

I like this idea. It stinks if your building caves in, but you can still get away. I agree that it should be an insta-kill.

[Altoids]

But then we would have to add better block falling graphics, right?

You guys are right. At the moment, the animation sucks.

If you mean that it should only affect enemies then, nope! Since when do falling buildings selectively kill/injure people?

Well, this isn't original, and it's a bad idea. Falling buildings killing people would be no fun. People would build towers wide at top to drop on the enemy. So no.

IDK many people who would go to the trouble of building a tower that might kill someone when they can grab a gun and actually kill someone........

They wouldn't have a chance. This could happen, but only as a small trap. Chances are that people will either know where and where not to go, kill the player as he is building whatever to drop *which'll probably teach him better*, or break the structure and kill the other team. It's pretty full-proof.
However, I've heard of about 4 threads suggesting the same thing, so I agree with you when this may not be original.
