ttt_community_pool_overhaul_b3 chairs

I looked around in suggestions a bit and I couldn't find anything like this under "pool" "pool chairs" "chairs" or "ttt_community_pool_overhaul_b3".

I am so sick of these damn chairs. People are using them to block the entrance doors, so you're stuck in the spawn area. It takes a lot of pulling and pushing with magneto sticks, crowbar hitting, or body shoving (which can hurt you), to get them out of the door. These are being abused and I think it would be a good idea for them to be breakable, if that's possible.

Well, this seems to be un-enthusiastically but well supported lol. @Chai would something like this be possible, or would it be easier to remove them all together? Also, hi. I've never met you before.

I did notice that when a player blocked a door on canyon with a barrel, the barrel disappeared after about 1 minute of me trying to get it out. Is that a map specific thing?

A good jihad or frag can take care of everyone if some troll is using the chairs. Makes it highly unfair for the rest of us.

 

Looking into fixing this atm.

EDIT: I was able to fix the chairs, but for some reason it removed quite a bit of the textures from the map. It also removed the prop_statics for some odd reason.

 

I can fix this, I can convert the chairs into a breakable prop. If the server includes this breakable chair prop in the downloads, it will replace the chair on all maps.

EDIT: I just noticed this is over a week old, welp rip

 

It still needs fixing though! Thanks for helping out.

 

that's not how that works lol

to make them breakable you have to change some properties of the chairs themselves in hammer, which would require decompiling the map, which you can't do because the map has some prop_statics that can't be decompiled.

 

LUA. You can simply use a LUA script to change every single prop which is prop_static with the chair model and replace it with whatever and the breakable chair model. It is possible, I seen this in use on a server.

 

I'll throw in my two cents:

The chairs when unbreakable promote nothing but toxic gameplay
The person at the front of spawn can get to the chair and block the doorway with the prop in about 15 seconds
This traps people still in spawn just for a little while after the round started; mods dealing with reports, players PMing others or typing in chat, etc.
As well, the chairs can then launch from the doors and prop hit/kill the person it flys towards, without showing who did it
