Land mines?

[Postal]

What would YOU like to see in a land mine?

Been thinking of being back the landmines I made for UT2k3 early on, the mine it self was finished, cept for that they would kill team mates too. Also I didnt make any way to set them.

How about something like the TLoc, you get 5 mines, and you can launch a mine becon, and set a mine there if you want? Mines would have a long ass life span. Should they go away when you die?

I like the kind of mines that click when you step on them and don't explode until you step off.

Your mines should only go away if you disconnect. IMO. Whats the point in mines that explode when you die? Doesnt seem too productive to spend the time setting up some defenses just to have them explode when you fall in some lava

agreed wrong er... wong. And I like Kangus' idea too. What about Jumper Mines? When you walk on them, they activate. If you walk off, they jump and explode at head-level, creating some sort of HS hit. If you crouch/jump just when they jump, you should get less damage because they aren't at head level.

Ooo, I like those ideas. Im starting to get motivated.

I allready have leaping mines, and they are invisable unless you are close up to them(I think Epic broke that in the newest patch, I dont recall. If youre fast enough, you can actualy get away from it(doubt it). If you shoot it, it explodes, but with a smaller range. So if you see it, and set if off, youre cought in it, see it and shoot it, you might be ok. I could make them arm, and beep.

How would you like to see mines get set?

a *click* suffices.

Ya, I was origional simulating a M16a1 APERS mine with a M605 fuse, but now I am thinking some sort of Plasma mine.

*cough cough* ChaosUT2 Evolution, the bouncing smiley mines. Or, doesn't anybody have the AR mine launcher that you can configure to hurt teammates and chose blast size? I have it somewhere, I think. They look like little land mines, and you can set them to sticky, or bouncy.

Bouncing betties and Claymores imo

I once made a mod for UT that was a modified Rocket Launcher, the rockets didn't move when fired, they stayed still, and a green beam was emitted from them. These rockets could be shot out of the sky as well, although only by the person who fired them. If somebody was unfortunate enough to step into the beam (i.e my teammates on a CTF botmatch), then the rocket would then move. Maybe you could do something along those lines, but better looking and more functional, and maybe some way of stopping teammates from constantly running into the beams.

Just a suggestion.
