Multi-block structures

What about those engineers who want to move their sents...but have a structure that is forming a base?...hed destroy his base...and the monsters flood in and BOOM!! death funnel.....

a) you'd have your "kill at point" artifact. Look at your sent and kill it

b) if its one of those RARE occasions you cannot see your sent, use kill all artifact and summon back that fort at once. Tadaaam, you still have your fort and there is no sent. You have to wait now for the counter countdown before buidling the sent though, but structures have short ones...

But if you have a horde of monster beyond ur walls..as soon as u desummon the monsters flood in...and even if u summon intimidatingly after destroying it ..it will not form blocks where monsters are(unable to spawn )...and so u have a hole in ur wall..and still death funnel..eh ..maybe Im just being difficult I dont know...

It wouldn't be fun if it was safe.

This true....wont be fun if it was too deadly either..

..
but eh....we are just opinions...up to the modders and admins...what say ye?

As a player, I would prefer not to have to point at my sent to change it. Particularly on a wave change where I want to change between a floor sent and a ceiling defense sent.

There are different places on different maps that it is optimum to be on particular waves.

I don't always stand right next to my sents either so I may not want to work my way all the way across a map, destroy my sent and then move to the new place for the new wave.

As for the artifacts, I'm starting to have a pretty good grasp of where they are in relation to each other without having to look. example: spawn with ceiling lightning sent showing, 4 left is shield blast, 4 right is floor sent. build whichever sent is appropriate for the level, move to shield blast, 4 left of shield blast is destroy all sents.....

I think you understand.....

Yip....I think the point destroy idea is great ..in addition...alone..not so well...

But yeah what Grizzled said is true..u tend to get the jist of artifact order..same with medics..its needed to perform efficiently....That part of the beauty of First person shooters you need to memorize...
Especially with UT and all those binds...gotta rmebr where they are..the layout of maps...and wepon..and ammo...and power ups..and supers...
then one more SET list isnt too hard to learn..

I could not agree more, the right knowledge on where, when and which sent to put is worth treasures! And even small changes left/right can mean enormous differences. Its no problem when you have one sentinel, when countodwn is zero, destroy old, make new. It becomes a real chalange to effectively move or change the type of your sents to the right combination thru the waves once you have 2 or 3 sentinels. You'll have to kill all 3 if you would like to change only one. That also means 2 minutes of waiting....

I thought 4 right from ceiling light is ceiling sent. Isn't it?

Depends where u count....

cus: Shield blast..(or picked up artifact)-->ceiling Ligthing-->lightning --> cielign def-->def-->ceiling sent-->sent --> mini turret

you are correct, pobodys nerfect

I found a mod called frag house invasion that has blocks prebuilt into the level and a weapon to move them. It might be worth a look for the point destroy thing.

Point an destroy correct me if Im wrong would be just like the Beam(or is the Bolt?...whatever one shoots in straight line and uses 10 adren..)

And then it would take out what it hits.....so the basic for coding it are there i believe..but alas Im no coder ..so leave it to the experts...
