Building floating platforms or blocks

I was testing the blocks we have on the server and they dont let us spawn over or under them a sentinel.

I was trying to put a sentinel at the top of a pile of blocks, and it spawned at the bottom and inside the pile of blocks just like if the blocks were invisible.

I was testing too that if u put a pile of blocks and u kill the ones that are at the bottom, the blocks at the bottom are floating and I tried to spawn a sentinel upside down under them just as if the blocks were acting as a ceiling and It doesnt spawn.

Is there anyway to improve this?
I mean, in some maps there are not ceilings were I can put a sentinel so It can aim and shoot better than spawned it on the ground.

It would be nice to make blocks that let you spawn over or under it a sentinel or turret.
Or build floating platforms were u can stay to prevent dying from falling or to spawn upside down sentinels that shoot to the ground, they aim better and doesnt get their fire covered by the vehicles,turrets or blocks near around it.

This will be very helpful for engineers and will help other players to get into other spots with platforms or to help them preventing to die in maps where are holes or craters.

The problem is that it would be too easy for an engineer to spawn sents in locations where they could not be destroyed.

Also what would happen when a tank knocks down the blocks the sent is spawned on?

Well... There is no way to put a sentinel where enemies cant destroy it and the sentinel can kill monsters without getting hit, even with the new idea I have there is no way to do that, that could be possible if you make sentinels spawn inside walls, but thats not my idea, my idea is to make platforms or blocks floating in mid air so I can spawn a sentinel on or under it, so it can reach a nice point of view to kill monsters, the monsters will hit it from distance too couse its in the sky, and will be more vulnerable couse its in mid air.

IF a tank or titan rock kills the block that is in mid air, the sentinel will stay in mid air just like blocks act now, if u destroy from a pile of blocks the ones that are in the bottom, the ones left that remain at the bottom will stay.

Well i dont see any problem, they will not make sentinels untouchable, they will be more vulnerable to enemy fire couse they are easy to target when they are laying in mid air but sentinels will get a nice point of view to shoot too.

If you wait it raised up hang it on the ceiling... or on the edge of an upper level.
