New Switch Tile - Auto Switches
Posted: Fri May 07, 2021 2:09 am
Based on the ingame Timer, by setting up this entity on how many seconds later a laser or certain selected entities with the same number priority should switch:
- From ON to OFF
- From OFF to ON
What would make it different from the countdown based switches are that, not even a projectile, an entity or player needs to
activate this tile in order to run. Not ideal for tuner tiles, since certain objects need to interract with it, which isn't the purpose of this entity.
Maybe turning it into a simple server command would be viable, but mapper won't even recognize the change, since only a majority of people know about how server commands should be used for making acceptable DDRace maps, like I'm Corneum. Not sure if a separate entity is needed to toggle the effect of the Auto Switch tiles, but would be cool to have interractions with the ON and OFF Switch entities. I would imagine using this Entity on time based Solo maps, Dummy maps with precision time rush, (If On and Off switch entities are toggling the Auto Switch:) an actual RPG map of some sort and probably more that can come with this idea.
Hope this forum message goes through the DDRace Discord server too to discuss this new request being added onto DDRace.
