Safety field

[2d spaceship gamer]

Well, you know that in certain places of the map there are special tiles through which ships can fly fine but you can't shoot, lay mines, etc.

 

I wonder if we could make such a square temporarily spawn using a field launcher. Unlike the regular tiles, however, this would only affect enemies. It's like a brick, except a brick stops ALL movement, while this one will allow enemies to fly through freely, without any damage, but while they are in the square of the field, they can't fire anything. Oh, and they also CAN'T LAY BRICKS (muahahhaa).

 

And, unlike a brick, it wouldn't warp anyone to center if laid on top of them.

 

I'm looking at a size of about 16x16 tiles, lasting about 20-30 seconds (it's a field after all, you can't !@#$%^&* it like a brick, you need to buy a new ammo each time you use it, and ammos cost 1k).

 

It could be used to defend against enemy bullet/burst spam, as well as defend against brickwarping rushers (can't lay a brick on top of field). At the same time, it would NOT completely block an enemy attack, like a brick does.

 

Unlike completely safe zones, players in the field (both friends and foes) ARE affected by reps. Also, they would take collateral damage is a high-yield bomb (such as tacnuke) explodes right near the field (but without going INTO field, because any enemy weapons going into field would disappear, like from the other "no-gun" tiles).

Main Problem: You throw the field when you assault a flag room or right be4 they drop flags. Since you can place brick inside the field, nmes cant stop you from flying straight in and stealing the flags when they drop besides rep whoring.

 

Also, usually those types of tiles prevent flags from dropping where they are. So flags will get pushed somewhere else if you lay the field on top of flag carrier be4 they drop.

 

Normal fields sometimes make bombs/bullet disappear or explode when it touches the field from the outside.

It's not possible to change the map while people are playing on it, sorry.

 

Though it is possible to not send their weapon packets when they are in the field, it would still look like they're shooting on their screen. I think this would confuse players more than a little, so it's probably not the best idea.
