Flag positioning

[AMmayhem]

I'm working on a CTF map, and I was thinking of instead of placing the flagpole standing on the ground, but having it hang from the cieling. Of course it will be in easy reach, and not have to jump for it. I think it would be good, and different, but my brother thinks it would be dumb.

What do you guys think?

CTF-SKyward or something by Brad "Kid" ying has the flag flipped and it's dumb looking. that's how i voted, but honestly if it looks good go for it.

upside down will case botprobs prolly, go for the normal **** or maybe try horziontale

I've hung the flag from the ceiling once, but that's just a question of how you looked at it, because it was actually just standing in the floor. (Yeah I'm talkin' 'bout CTF-Sfear][ )

It depends on how 'unreal' your map is. If the rest of the map doesn't make any sense, just hang it from the ceiling! However if your map has some nice theme it would look stupid.

If Unreal had a mesh of an upside down flag I would say go go go, but now... neh,

i once saw an option somewhere where you can adjust the reachspec location of an item. i don't know where i saw it, but i think it exists, it would eliminate those bots problems.

only hang it if it really looks really good, otherwise don't.

Place you flag in waterpool...

Id say leave it on the ground, i know that the bots won't understand if its no on the ground... unless you tweak them like stonevipers says

place it up a nali carcass' ass!

I thought the bots wouldn't grab upside-down flags no matter how big the reachspec or collission or whatever was... put it in lava.

Don't put it in lava, that would be ghey, put it in slime

 

[BangOut]

Oh yeah... because the red flag would be hard to see in lava

ROFLMFAO! You guys and your sarcasm

 

[AMmayhem]

Yup, it looked kinda dumb, so I'm going to place it the usual way. How would placing it in lava work? Put an asbestous suit nearby?

Thanks for the input.
