Under: EMPTY -> Objects -> MP Shield XXXXXX

Notes:
- HE exploding on the walls can still damage kill on the other side for a short radius .... not sure its possible to completely insulate this.
- Grenades and so-such landing on the roof seem to still cause an explosion at ground level ..... looks like an OFP Engine limitation.
- Difference to beta 1, removed Geos that were causing damage to light vehicles

No doubt there&#39;s plenty of other variations that can be done on these .......

Hi, that sounds as a good measure to keep all those ******&#39; spawnkillers & spawncampers under control. What i used in some remaked (to play with the USMC Addon 1.0) were those mapfact walls in the MIL objects pack; if i&#39;d known how to respawn vehicles i&#39;ll had reinforced the perimeter with those of they&#39;r land mines too. I think that those mapfact walls are better because they enemy or the spawning units can&#39;t see what&#39;s at the other side so they can&#39;t wait until u go out & u can&#39;t see &#39;em, and when u climb the wall u jump from it, & that gives a "new" aspect to fast CTF&#39;s like Mokra. Let&#39;s cu

Since it&#39;s released (in alpha form), I&#39;ll move this to A&M:C...

You might be able to solve those two by making the walls as proxies, they seem to soak up all types of rounds including Laws. No explosions, and no dust clouds when bullets impact.

Not tried grenades yet, but I have a basic example kicking about if your interested?

Yep, as Q said, awaiting its trial and use in league play.

hmm - now should be the time to start offering some advertisement space on your walls Gnat.

What about some panorama textures or some nice wallpapers,
posters, pic of a skyline mountains - you get the idea?

ARH&#33; Yes .... good idea UNN ..... definately worth a try. But I should get back to my B52/Tu95 project


Good idea Chris on the use of space &#33; LOL ..... I&#39;ll skip over to e-bay now and see what offers I can get ......... but either way I won&#39;t be accepting any Microsoft bids ArmA I&#39;ll do for Half Price.
Failing that, maybe some more Pinks in the colour scheme .... they tend to be more soothing, reduces the aggression levels

I think there is a much easier solution to this.

Player addeventhandler ["Killed",{if ((_this select 0) distance WestRespawn<50) then {(_this select 1) setpos [0,0,10000];hint format ["%1 was punished for spawnkilling",(_this select 1)]}]


Add the same eventhandler to the east but EastRespawn(these are game logcs) instead of westrespawn ofcourse.

Right now you&#39;re comparing pizza&#39;s and noodles

The shields are not here to check for who was killed by who
and how far from respawn zone, just to setpos the killer
somewhere - they are here to prevent somebody from killing
over there - no graphics resource are required for this (in case of the invisible ones), and no script running anywhere.
No physical barriers, as it&#39;s just a firegeo-lod.

btw - Gnat - if you want to avoid AI from reporting targets
on the other side, you should go for a viewgeo-lod aswell.
