Infestation "props"

pSyk0mAn

<div class="IPBDescription">..placed by mappers</div>The idea is to create further obstacles for aliens to hide in those huge tech rooms, once the hive is ready.
-It helps to balance a tech room for both teams.
-It makes tech rooms more different depending on which team captured it.

The mapper places a infestation prop, which is invisible at first.
Once DI has spread around that infestation prop (a huge blob or a stalactite, for example), it will spread along that prop in order to create more cover for aliens.

Hi!

I really like this idea. Could be a great way for mappers to control DI in general. Maybe not a prop but a brush enitity.

I think a brush-based entity would indeed be useful for certain parts, especially if you get some random shapes, but props give the mapper more control of how it's shaped.

A combo of both is probably the best.

An infestation_solid group or something like how the pathfinidng and commander invisible groups currently work might be a good idea, it would just be invisible and non solid to everything but the DI system, that way any prop could be used as the base for an infestation shape.
