Title: Bunkers and Trenches
Post by: TrackenHit on 17 Aug 2003, 23:08:47
Ok, I just had an idea for making trenches, fox holes, and sandbags bunkers. Why not make bunkers like we would a static vehicle? I don't know if its possible to set up a unit to be able to use his own rifle from a vehicle, but I know you can use vehicle mounted weapons right? So all you need to do is make a static trench with perhaps a MG position and several other trench 'passenger' locations in it where players would 'get in' the trench.

Does it work that way though? Kinda of like a vehicle when you set the 'get in' waypoint?

For trenches, the island maker maybe could make it into their map by lowering the elevation in a line.

Well that's disappointing but thanks for clearing that up.

That is an interesting point however. Some talented addon makers should make some new above ground bunker/fortress models. A lot of effort is going into below ground bunker problems and certainly a lot of vehicle models are being created. I wonder how hard it would be to come up with a couple new fort designs? Something pretty simple like the ones in the current game but a little different.

I know others have build pillboxes which are nearly indestructable. Yet others have created some stacks of sandbags that look quite unnatural. Some other choices would be nice. A huge pillbox in the jungle doesn't quite fit.

Hello.
My mod, the Great Assault Mod, is working on some new buildings and Bunkers/Fortifications.
But we need members, that the stuff gets finished soon.
Then u could have a lot of your ideas ingame

this may sound stupid right now.....but ull find too many requests but soo little time.......... is the approach ull come to when working on a MOD........especailly a big one
ie... BAS - they had to scrap a few projects.....
any way back on topic..............
it isnt used by ai............its manly used for multiplayer (the bunker in the M60 picture)
