The idea is simple: Instead of players controlling existing props, have them control a prop they have purchased in the f3 shop. When the spawn as this prop its a simple no collide that they can move around. The first prop purchased could cost even 2000 pts as sort of a ghosting entry fee and it could be a water melon. Simple and small props like that. What this idea solves: Prop damaging by playing as an existing colliding prop. Players controlling large objects to block or kill players. Players controlling explosive barrels and harassing players. Players no longer have to fear prop ghosts dealing them 1 or 2 damage. Other benifits: Players will play more and use their pts more to get different models (I know I would go for a car wheel model asap since it's one my favorite props [that and the bean can]). Cons: If enough players are all dead and use props things could get cluttered. But still no one would be taking any damage, it just be sort of distracting. Most players don't play as ghosts anyways, they just alt tab so it shouldn't be an issue. Alread addressed problems: Players cant just keep spawning props in because as soon as you "leave" your prop a delete function would run on the prop you were ghosting.
+1, might take some time to code so that existing props can't be ghosted, the prop spawner that you buy, and the prop deleter, but if our coders are up to it, it would be an answer to some of the slay the staff have to watch for.
I would love to learn more lua and help code it myself, but I'm not sure where I would start since I don't know how Highwon has player purchases stored, how the menus are made and such. If I could learn a bit about how all that works I might be able to code something.
really good idea will-e, as sinora said, if coders are up to the task, this could be SUPER helpful. add a "prop model" tab in the F3 shop and have different prop models for VIP non donor's etc. +1
all of my +1s so many so many.... then i can stop force specing my self on community bowling alley too watch for prop dmgers
Great idea, I hope to see this idea put into the game as it would make it a lot more fun for people spectating which to be honest can be very boring. It gives people something to save up for and get and then use in-game while waiting for the game to end instead of sitting there watching. It's kinda like a little added extra for when you are dead which I like and haven't seen before on other TTT servers.
+0.5 hate being prop dmged but sometimes I love controlling a prop and damage someone 1hp then get banned
