Mapping:Creating a skeet shoot map
The Custom Map Makers produced a skeet shooting map
The map contained a few interesting features.
- Bots "launched" as skeet
- Weapon reload room
- TV Screen
Construction
The design brief for this map
- Create a skeet shoot map
- Create something original
- Don't use previous versions as a base
- You've got a week
Initial layout
The initial design of the size and shape of the arena was decided in an evening, I sent a rough map and the only modification that was requested that I flare the landing zone by 12 degrees.
Having the total areana in a single large box meant I could quickly add wall and a base for the shooting area.
Firing bots
It was decided to use trigger_push to launch bots, nodraw brushes were created just under each red spawn point.
These were then selected and the trigger_push selected from the entities window.
target_position entities were used as targets, in some cases these were shared between 1 or 2 trigger_push brushes.
