I know vehicles have been adressed ad nauseum, but what about this? elevators, that go up in their own shafts at the sides, or middle of maps, I'm not sure if they should go up by themselves or when people step on them.

Also those big industrial ones, with doors (that would be bullet proof) that open Aliens style.

I dont think this is too bad of an idea but I dont think it'll work verry well...

why

I dont think it would be integrated.

I think its a good idea.

MikeShinoda- Vehicles are integrated?

Too lazy to use stairs? wow. ( and who would want an ELEVATOR when you have STUFF UNDER YOUR SHOES THAT MAKES YOU FLY? =d )

Polygons able to move and rotate would be nice. Many new possibilities for map makers.

The elevator would be there so you would be able to prone on it and camp, silly [:)]

How about if you moove teh elevator with your jet boots! when youre all out of it you teh elevator would slowly slide down.

Not bad, but i think wery few people would use it!

Wait hoe about if teh elevator would go up and down all by itself and you would just step into it, if you realy wanted to. Think of teh cool duels on teh top oh teh elevator! And sudely theres teh roof and I get avay, but you, well... !!!SPALSH!!!

...no...1-way polys would take care of it. just keep jumping. this could also be called ladders, staris, etc.

it was suggested... by me :P. it was in the topic "ladders"... for what you need elevators? for a hospital? :[;)]

But eh its a good idea! lets remove the jetboots they aint realistic and it doesnt fit in

NO! dont remove the jet boots u moron, its the style fo the game, and they'll never be removed! NEVER!
^_^

Yes indeedy, moving poly's would own.

Yes lots of posibilities. Id make a map were you must successfuly get through a crushing maze...
Ahh The Possibilities... :D.

No.
Ladders, at least, before elevators.
Jesus Christ people, this is SOLDAT for crying out loud...have you ever seen elevators on a battlefeild? THEY WOULDNT BE FRICKIN BULLETPROOF EITHER!!!

Have you ever seen a windmill, a train, a boat, etc?

Have you ever seen clans on a battlefield? HAH! ELEVATORS RULE!

The way I see it most of the ideas in soldat are from Action movies. And elevators feature in pretty much any action movie you care to mention.

Have you ever seen chainsaws and jetshoes on a battlefield? Because, I sure haven't.

Let's say moving poligons and it's a good idea. Elevators would be useless because soldat is made to be played generally in 'outdoor' maps and open spaces. It just doesn't fit the soldat style.

PS Noobguy you can prone even when flying duh. And what's the point of camping on a moving elevator? Isn't immobile ground fancy enough? =d

Has any of you ever seen a battlefield?

Hey a hospital! Not a bad idea! Inf_.. no no wait, CTF_hospital!!! With an elevator!!!

That would rule!

Haha?..nice one Droopy?.

Imagine?instead of Flags, you get patients, and the Enemies are doctors?lol!

General: OK SOLDIERS! Your Mission is to grab the patient, shoot the doctors, and get him to the ground floor!

But seriously, although soldat is mostly outdoors some indoor maps wouldn't hurt and to have working elevators would be cool.

First floor: Laws, grenades, general carnage DING!

As for moving polys imagine some mario themed levels with working donut blocks etc. It would open up possibilties for map makers.

The spi is wise

Don't give me this "have you ever seen jetboots on a battlefeild" or "have you ever seen chainsaws on a battlefeild" crap. Obviously, no, I havent, and Im sure you havent either. It doesnt matter if its realistic or not, an elevator just would not fit into Soldat's playing style. The way it was meant to be played.

EXACTLY!!!

What about indoor maps :D lol
Ok lock topic throw into bin 8{

Nooo don't lock it! This may actualy born something! No.. not in teh bin (lol).

Maybe we don't need elevators, but we need indor maps! So elevators could come as a bonus..

Think about it! You thaught about it? no?
That think some more!



Ha now im wise!!

Elevators are good! everyone here who doesnt like it just is coming in with the idea of "we dont need this" we dont need anything, we need food, lets just put in stuff so long as it wouldnt screw anything up. whats the big deal??????

And there are outside elevators.

And CTF-Voland- that seems like an inside map.

elevators would be the pimp!! I'm in the design process for making a map where elevators would be awesome. Besides, don't some infiltration maps take place indoors?

ya moving polys would be great!
Then you could make your own models like trains that can go left and right.
Because I find Soldat realy boring right now i want new possibilites!

Why do all ppl say in this forum "lets add a car" "lets add a ladder" "lets add that&that"
because ppl is getting bored out of the same old game-style, and only the ppl with posts over 1000 think they can rule the forum because they are "veterans" and always says "no, thats not good" "no respon to add it" "no soldat should not change" "its would make the game bad".

Lets make a new soldat!!!
Join up with me ppl and bring new FUN possibilites out of soldat.
Dont let the old so called veterans controll us!
