Wow, scary.

Ummm.... yes? I didn't read the whole thing, but I got a general idea. It's entirely possible to do something like that in the Quake engine. I wouldn't recommend it right now though, since you're fairly new and that would give even a lot of pros a pretty good runaround.

For a first project, or a first iteration of the project, I'd recommend you have a simpler system than that. You can always enhance it with more features and a more complex file format later.

good plan i could still set it up as an item doing this?

also know this isnt a mapping section but it has to do with the mod i am taking about developing here.

this is bascally a terrain test, i think it looks pretty good, i re looked at it after making the pic though and i could even make it look not so pointy just by pulling a couple verts forwads.

Looks very nice.

Yes, you could set up an item that does this. It either activates automatically when picked up, or it goes in your inventory and gets activated with a keypress or menu or something similar.

awsome, i might set that up for a later release though... till i get a little better on the qc part... for now im thinking of setting it up like a weapon that when u press a certain button you can drop it, but what im going to do is give it ammo even though it wont attack, but when you drop it the amount that you carry goes down. basically ill do it like an ammo drop.
