requesting a pack - Mini base deployer?

StingwraithStingwraith

hey guys, is there any way i can create a pack that deploys several different objects at the same time? and place them like this:

What is in this pic:

A solar panel, an inventory station, a small pulse sensor, 3 pieces of sized LSB, and a Spawn Point

would this be possible? can anyone code this and release it to the public? it would be great, and useful for ACCM, maybe even have a deploy time, like in TCCM, where the things deploy over time... but i think its a lot better than taking an mpb, which is so much slower...

would be a great technician pack for building far off, and useful!

thanks for paying attention :D

    To your three questions: Yes. Yes. Unlikely.
  • StingwraithStingwraith
    why is it unlikely to be released to the public?
  • TThyth
    I don't think anyone left who is capable of writing such a deployable would want to.
  • ZaxxmanZaxxman
    They would release it in a mod pack of somesort probably...
  • EEolk
    No, we'll release it in ACCM.

    I've never been truly fond of those. I'll see what Blnukem thinks.

    Errr, Perhaps this link will assist you.

    Actually... I have made this pack already... (then removed it because I didn't see it's relevance) Mainly because I was bored and learning a little more on advanced deployables...

    I did a different method than that of on AdvancedMod, but you can look there if you want.

    And to Eolk, I have another plan for this... But it will only be in the Infection gametype. And it probably wont be released until ACCM 1.35 is finished.

    Also as another notice... Expect ACCM 1.3 to be out very soon.

    Or will it?

    Blnukem could die within the next few days. :simma:

    I don't like that bunker very much. :/

    Eolk, you are sad, your life is pethetic, and your exhistance is un-noteable, dont take it out on your superiors, that is just about EVERYBODY
  • StingwraithStingwraith
    you removed the pack due to irrelevance...

    well i think it would be so useful for the tech, im not really asking for a Deployable Bunker, just something for techs to use when building something far off....

    but i'll look into it, thanks guys.

  • ZaxxmanZaxxman
    Damnit, the packs are too big and a gen wont work unless u have an inv and vice versa.
  • KrashKrash
    You could always just modify the spawn point to refit players when they step over it and give it some low radius power/sensor coverage. Would save a piece or two and it wouldn't take very long to throw together at any rate.
  • BlnukemBlnukem
    Pretty good idea, I'll consider it.
  • EEolk
    I dunno, though. They aren't supposed to be self-powered for balancing issues.
  • ZaxxmanZaxxman
    Well, think of it this way
    fig 1) Test subject 155307 gets new packypacks
    fig 2) goes to infested area with con tool
    fig 3) blows everything to smitherines (almost including himself)
    fig 4) selects con tool and tech from inventory
    fig 5) off to next infected area
    NOTE : if dies during combat, will respawn at mini base.-
  • EEolk
    Or, enemy team could deploy spawnpoint at back of base. They spawn. Friendly team finds out about it. Friendly team tries to destroy spawnpoint, but it is invincible because of invincible deployables. Enemy team owns friendly team hardcore.

    Sorry for being negative, but... yeah.
  • KrashKrash
    So have it disable the systems if the damage reaches a certain point? It would essentially be the same as disabling the power source that provided it, only using the single item - which of course would make it easier to set up, so there would probably be some restrictions or build time on it - maybe relative to the nearest linking base.
    To balance it out you could restrict the higher functions to be within range of some other essential forward-base elements, or perhaps some sort of energy beacon trail that leads from the primary source. If a link in the chain gets cut off the whole thing could shut off...

    I dunno, just spinning off a couple ideas. :p

    Look up "Coup" in google...

    GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND, PRAISE BE TO GOOGLE!
  • EEolk
    No, Google used Wikipedia, therefore, Wikipedia is your friend.
  • KrashKrash
    Technically, Google used answers.com for it's definition. Wikipedia just happens to be the first site to show up on the search.
