Michal, this is a must:

You know tthose platforms from various Jump and Run games (Mario Games). Platforms (Polygons) that can be jumped off without getting to their edge. by pressing DOWN + JUMP. Of course you must also be able to just jet through them from below. This would be a great improvement and Map Makers will be very happy.

What do you think?

That could add a very interesting aspect to gameplay.

no... not really. I couldn't really imagine this in Soldat. Soldat is too fast and to 'airbound' to use such a feature.

I like the idea, not that I know anything about anything, maybe it's impossible for some reason, but it seems reasonable to me.

Alamo: Such Polygons donĀ“t make Soldat slower, they make it way faster, cause with those you can move through areas of the map quicker.

it all always comes back to 1-way-polys.

Peemonkey, we're talking about modified two-way polys, not one-way.

it would make maps a hell of a lot esier to waypoint...god i h8 waypints grrrr

it would be funi if you lyke mad a silly map where u waypoint all the bots onto a tiny box which they can only go into...so you have a bunck of red bods in this comfined space, and then all teh blue bots come and they have this massivly bloodey fight-to-the-death...lol you could call is collaseum rofl

yea i like that idea...just sit back and whatch the fists fly...join in as well if ya really wanna!

you could make it with seats on eother side too like a proper colluseum...hey wait...that just gave me an idea for a normal map...gotta go!

But then, wouldn't Soldat get confused? Considering that a polygon in the MapMkr is 3-sided, how will it know which way to allow through? I dunno, but it only works with rectangles with a definite edge. There would be bugs, like getting stuck in one, and people would hide in them.
Meh, if it was a line, I'd say yes

forgot it again!

yes like you could make a line that you place behind like bullets only collides polys which people could only go one-way through, you place it against the leading edge of the two (for example) polys that make up the rectangular platform...good idea unlucky

No offense to your idea or anything but i don't think that would be a good idea at all.

I meant it's too fast to have quiet time to get to the ground and hop down. That's what I was talking about with 'airbound'. Most of the time you are in the air...
