Traps -n- Triggers

[eepcat]

What sort of traps/triggers will be available for the Dark Mod? I'm planning a fairly small mission which contains a number of traps. In DromEd these would be accomplished through bounds triggers and pressure plates linked to emitters, portcullis, etc. There was certainly plenty of "trap" behavior in Doom 3 with all the creatures dropping out of the ceilings ad nauseum.

I'm at the point where I know I need to "cut the cord" from DromEd and move on, so if the toolset has a good selection of traps, this might be a good mission to try as a beta mapper. If it works out, it could serve as a demo for the mod's trap interface.

Trappiness = Happiness

- eep!

There are a number of "triggers" already available in vanilla Doom 3 and of course there is scripting and the Dark Mod's Stim/Response System.

 

It's basically depending on which type of traps you're having in mind, but I'm fairly sure that most of them are possible.

Actually it would be cool, if you plan to do some traps. This would serve as a nice testbed. We already had some maps planned, with such stuff, but somehow our mapper has gone awol. Seems that everybody vanishes after he went on vacation.

Heh. They get the taste of FREEEEEDOM!!!

Wow, eepcat! I hope you give it a try and come up with some good stuff! If you do, try to keep a few notes of how you did things so we can all learn better from it!

Sounds good. I've got about two months of work left on my (final?) DromEd mission. Once I'm done, I'll check back in and see what's shaking.

Komag, I assume you are laboring day and night with a DarkMod tutorial? (I know there are others, but I'm a sentimental cat)

- eep!

He already has a few available (to beta-mappers)!
