Practical joke on TDM guards

I'm posting here because I didn't want to interrupt all the serious discussions on the other forums

 

I took a few shots of my evil trap:

That's great!

[New Horizon]

Nice! lol

[Neb]

Haha, I love stuff like this.

 

It's not quite the same, but I spent loads of time in Deus Ex: Invisible War just doing stupid things like going to the airport and throwing every object I could find behind the receptionist's desk. AIs would seem to ignore objects and so she would wade back and forth among a sea of junk with a deadpan expression locked into her face.

 

"Hello sir, how may I help you?" as bins and cups jiggle around her waistline.

 

This is more creative though. Well done.

Anyone has any ideas on how to sophisticate this?

[Stardog]

Here's another idea:

 

Stick the breakable infront of a load of barrels up a hill then break it and watch them roll down and crush someone.

Very creative.

In one of my test maps I have a "launcher" that sends AI basically off to the moon if they walk over it and I press the button. It works great!

Someone should totally make a "reverse haunted house" map where your goal is to lure some people into the house, seal them in, and creep around in the shadows using your stealth skills to torment them with spooky goings-on. It would be a mandatory "ghosting" mission, of course. Pun fully intended.

 

Objectives: Rack up a certain amount of "scariness points" (gained by pulling pranks and so on). Don't get spotted for certain, since that will ruin everything. First-level "what was that?" alerts gain you points, however (up to a point - you can't win the mission just by causing mutters, but you can maybe skip one or two traps if you cause enough mutters). And don't kill or KO anyone, because then the city watch will get involved and you want to keep people away. Just scare the bejesus out of them so they don't come back!

 

I'm sure there's a simple plot that can be used to justify that. Prevent an old mansion from getting sold so you can continue to camp out in it without paying rent. The main character could be a freaky old dude. It'd be great.

 

Oh, and of course it would definitely have to be released on Halloween. Which means you have five days. Get building! :evil:

That is actually a really great idea!! A totally new way of approaching the stealth gameplay.

[Komag]

That was actually a contest mission, The Haunting IIRC

[Ishtvan]

Nice practical joke! I've gotten that to work before with buckets. Too bad water doesn't spill out. We should submit our mod for the attention of somethingawful.com's "asshole physics" segment.

LOL. Fail. There truly is nothing original under the sun! Be nice to go back and play all those Thief FMs I've missed over the years.

[Diego]

Ok, then.. correcting:

A totally new unusual way of approaching the stealth gameplay.

[Mortem Desino]

"Please, sir, no more!"

[Springheel]

That SO reminds me of the FM I'm working on.

[Diego]

LOL

Can we lock them in rooms?

[Neb]

Could you make a button that calls for a lift, but have it actually open a trapdoor beneath their feet?

[Springheel]

Yes and yes.

[Garreth]

U can make a small invisible segment behind the pot, when the door opens it hits the segment and it falls over on his head. if u adjust the weight it could kill him, or make a anvil or something.
