Game Mode Idea: Sumo

#1

Post by Empyre » Fri Apr 22, 2016 9:37 pm

I have an idea for a new game mode, which would actually be just a mod to play in Duel, maybe TDM, and/or maybe FFA. The players would have only fists or rockets or both, but custom ones that push and do no damage. The only way to kill your opponent would be to push them off of the platform. I think I can implement this in DECORATE, but I have questions about feasibility of certain aspects.

Is there a way to determine who pushed a player off the platform and give that player a point? If not, the player with the least negative score after a time limit would win the duel or FFA.

Here's a related question: Is there a way to give a point to the opposing team when a player falls off the platform? If not, I don't think team DM would work, unless somebody has an idea to make it work anyway.

Is there a way to make a weapon that pushes only enemies (and maybe the player)?

I also want to see how much interest there is in this idea. The poll has no end date, and you are allowed to change your vote. If there is enough interest, then once I have made the mod and a proof-of-concept map, I will make a project thread.

Not only is it already done, it is done better than I would have done it.

Ideas aren't exactly one-use only. Just because I did it before doesn't mean it's not allowed to be used again.

If you think it's cool, put it out there. See how others take it. Work on it and see if you can make it bigger and cooler.

More options for the playerbase is always a good thing.
