New flag, Atom Bomb (Not very good)

Davy Jones · Post by **Davy Jones** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 5:56 am

I have a new flag idea, it is not very great, just thought of it a while back and it came back to me when i saw SW

It is called Atom Bomb, What happens is when you press fire, You Explode along with a large vicinity around you, the effects will be textrues will be burned for a couple secs, you are destroyed, and a lot of people around you are destroyed...even SH will get k0ed. It kinda sux, what do you think?

It's very similar to SW, don't point that out

Actually, you could turn SW into this if you used the right plugins for it. Except without the burning textures.

That would be difficult.

I thought that this has been suggested before and put down. It sounds rather powerful, but think about it. If you got this "atom bomb" flag and used it, you are certain to die. Shock wave is almost as useful, and you won't die. In my opinion, we already have this flag.

Hmmm, Well, i've thought about it, what you do is you have one shot, you pick a place on the radar to explode it...and BOOM, everybody dies there, one time use, not avaible on no-radar servers it will have a radius of 50 default? Any more comments/ suggestions?

That would be too powerful, I think.

well, its only about as powerful as one shockwave, although you get to target where it will hit. Although if there are like 50 people crowding to get a camper, it might be a bit powerful

First off, there is a branch of BZFlag a long time ago (IIRC) they had a flag called Atomic Bomb, not sure if it did the same thing

I agree with Vicious Muffin.

The texture's thing sounds good though, it's something bzflag lacks in my opinion.

i dont know about the whole tracking thing, isnt there like some rule where they dont like flags that cause unavoidable death (geno is the exception).

wasn't that the reason they didnt want mines or trick flags?

perhaps if like a little target thing appeared on the radar to let them know that they were about to be killed, and it exploded after 10 seconds.

I have an idea simmilar to davys, OK it should be a single shot and like geno it only works when it hets someone or something. After impact the shot realeases a shockwave.

that's a pretty good idea, cow whisperer, Very nice, I like it

you can make a plug-in fire off a SW anytime you want.

SWDeath, fires one off when somone dies.

annother idea like yours is like a flame thrower which makes an area burn and kill any player who drives on it.

Davy Jones · Post by **Davy Jones** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 3:17 am

I mean that it will explode when you want it to, at the players decision when and where it will explode, although he might killed b4 then...

Cow whispere means that you shoot a shot...and when it impacts something, it will have a sw come from it
