Introducing GateHunt

[Socio]

GateHunt is something new for the RACE gametype to counter the boredom of driving the same one road over and over. The basic idea is, on a large piece of open terrain there is a dozen of gates that the players must drive through, the team that drives through most gates wins. Players start in one location which is centered in the middle of the area and gates activate one after another is done. Since gates are spreaded across the whole area players must drive offroad from one point of the map to another in order to reach the active gate and score a point for their team.

Anyways I hope this idea will work and below is the first map for this styled gameplay that I made (if people will like it, I'll produce more)

This sounds delicious. I can't wait to examine it.

Is there some mechanism to stop people sitting at one gate waiting for it to 'activate'?

Nope, but 25 objectives, makes camping at one quite ineffective.

True but 20+ players, some people will just sit at a gate, which will ruin it for the others.

You need a TWB to complete the objective and there is only 6 of them per team. Anyways I dont have any idea how to fix it that wouldnt require some anti-camp mutator

When a gate activates it should emit a blast which knocks back targets within a certain range.

Only 6 vehicles, hmm

Those SOLs



Sorry, it sounds like im just being overly critical but just trying to help.

This is a possible action to add to a scripted trigger, spawning a Redeemer at the gate to slay potentail campers, though will also need a bit of a time delay to the objective becoming active.

I know you hate it.
What was I thinking, trying to create something new to RACE, should have stick with flat, linear tracks with 3 objectives

Oh, I had actually thought that the gates are all active at once. I think just making a delay will do.
