Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
CONTEST CLOSED
Judging:
while you can use flying vehicles, it is not suggested, and is less likely to win.
Time (finished), looks, function and meeting the requirements are going to be used.
Looks:
this is an open category, all I care for is the neetness and carefulness of placing parts, oh, and if the colors are matching (not all random)
Function:
also open all this means is that it can drive, if it drives it gets a good score, but if it has a weapon, or any other kind of device, it's score will be better.
Meeting the Requirements:
obvious, does it meet requirements.
Scoreing:
Time:6 points, 1 minute gives 6, more than three minutes gives 0, for flying, over two minutes is 0
Looks: 24 points, neat, colorful, and a dash of cool gives 26, going down as things get worse
Function: 25 points, more functions=better, just a car=10
Requirements:25 points, just for following the rules
Track: The track has three hills of increasing dificulty, this is not very hard. Then there is a small tower, thats pretty simple. Lastly, there is a strategic part, the only hard part. It has a laser that will turn on a turret, that will chop you to bits, thats why you might need a weapon. If you like flying, then ok, but there is a laser that might cut you.
Track
Must be in by december 24 2009 (just because its easy for me to rember!)
Winners
1~ For going over board
2~For insane speed
3~Because he was the only one left!
Winners

[scene]34106[/scene]
And an entry that isn't, really, just pointing out what rather seems like a loophole. I can simply destroy the entire course and run through it at high speed.
A/D to drive, W/S to aim laser (can't hit the body of the car), Shift to fire. Destroys everything except planes on all collision groups.

Because you can get through easier, you just need an ATV, or other kind of vehicle. this is because there is a laser sentry turret in it that will turn on, and shoot lasers, without it, its a piece of cake.

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
How are you supposed to get past the lasers without being on collision group B or using immortal parts?

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
One way is to make an "EMP" gun sort of thing, as show here:
Press shift to turn on the laser, which makes a circle that the laser turret will aim at, then when it hits the circle, the circle explodes, turning off the turret, or rather making it spaz out while it is turned off. the scripting really isn't complex.
if i wanted to grade it it would be
Time: 4
Looks: 24
Function: 23 (hard to use)
Requirements:25
or you could make a vehicle that totaly changes into a "B" collision group
or you could just have a huge target on the back that the turret shoots, because it doesn't have to be perfect in the end, you just need to get to the end.

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
I'm going to guess that I'm not allowed to use materialVelocity to move the object.

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
I'm not going to upload a scene because it's to easy. Make a circle that is as large as can be that fits the rules. Go to the script menu of it and change the materialVelocity to -100

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
what do you mean? how will that work?
it will get 6 on time and 25 on requirements, but 0 on function and looks, so that would be useless!

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
Also, would jumping be considered as flying?

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
IF something is not in the rules, then you can do that, you can jump, you just need to get to the other side.

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
what was the problem with the removed function point at all?

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
I like yours ra2, although it likes to flip over, the mouse control turret also doubles as a device for righting itself if you put the mouse outside of the angle range of the turret.
The towers were missing when I played it though, I think something is wrong with my algodoo version, as it's the second time i've noticed something missing from a scene while nobody else has the same problems

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
To Ra2lover i took off 1 point in function because it flips over so often, if you had heavy wheels (even though it would hinder its rockets) it could have 25, and i don't much like giving full credit to the most important part, for everything can be improved, although, in your case, you may not need to. You are the top one right now, scince i have not seen any other posted on the forum, other than the death laser.
You can always add more scenes, and as many entries as you want.

This thing usually runs around 18 seconds when piloted correctly.
Made some cool stuff a long time ago

very good, suprised with how fast, but it looked like it was just put together, which is ok because you are now right up with Ra2.

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
Good, it wasn't meant to be hard, it was meant for people to see what other kinds of thinking were used, if I weren't the one posting, I would make a plane, like most, but I would also put a cover on the ariel laser. Personaly, I thought it was just like pi, me being the one that built the turret and the track, the size of the box to build the vehicles was generous too.

Re: Desert Storm, Make a Vehicle Contest
Well, Can the rounds the gun fires be immortal? I am creating a manual reload type weapon that requires a killer and an immortal.
Next Contest: Cannons!
I would appreciate it if someone would create an avatar for me that matches my signature.

Yes the rounds the gin fires can be immortal, I think it says that in the requirements.
