    In some vents you can go gorge and drop your d/m/s chambers through the floor so that the enemy can never kill them and you always have full upgrades <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Eventually there should probably be some code added that detects, destroys, (,and preferably reclaims some of the resources for) structures which have fallen through the world.

    Why not reclaim all the resources?

    I think a good method for implementing this would be some kind of undo command for gorges and comms.

    (Figure it out yourself)

    Are you able to recycle that falling TF?

    I wonder if you could build a working Sinking Siege. That would make the marines unstoppable.

    Cheap, but unstoppable.

    Except for the fact that it'd be out of range of anything, if the bottom of the map was far enough away...

    Hm... maybe putting some sort of entity far enough below the map that it's not a problem, but that hurts buildings that touch it?

    Siege range is calculated in 2d... so i think the vertical distance doesnt matter.

    Actually there is a height restriction on the siege.

    If you place a siege cannon down the bottom of Viaduct on NS_Nothing it will not reach any kharaa structure on the walkway above.

    Is that a "height" restriction or an "elevation" restriction? I've been called a lamer for putting things up there, despite the fact it says IN THE MANUAL that turrets won't track up more than 30 degrees...

    See, that was my idea (in the PT forum when this was mentioned) - a nice big PAINFUL trigger_hurt below the entire level. (:

    why are the areas of effect calculated as cylindrical rather than spherical?

    Because it is a lot easier that way.

    Actually, I would argue that it's because the HL engine is a nub. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What makes things fall thru the floor in the first place? Sometimes falling things can be helpful, particulary for the Khaara, but most of the time they arent. I find it more wasteful and annoying than I find it helpful.

    I'm not sure what the exact entity is, but some railings cannot support structures on them. A good test is to fire a weapon through the empty space in the railing. If you can shoot through it, you can also safely build on top of it. If your attack is blocked by the supposedly empty space in the railing, then any building placed on top of it will sink through.

    The worst is that many of the grated floors on Nancy behave this way as well, and structures placed on them will sink through. ):
