Bro, what am I even looking at?

image if you got 12 engies with this they could just stop the game lmao

intresting idea. just imagine all the spots you could hide this. make certain door ways, absolutly lethal. idk if valve will ever make new weapons for engineer, but this would change the game forever if they put this in.

this reminds me of the Fizzler's in Portal 2, this is really neat!

been a while since someone made an interesting weapon, course that's because valve doesn't too often add things that are wildly new that they didn't create. Hope this gets in in some form, very nice idea!

Basically arial denial in-your face.
Its no doubt a great concept but i have my doubts if this is good for engy to use, itd be OP in maps like junction or turbine, but weak AF in more open ones such as doomsday or badwater

You cab build 2, one gives teammates a speed buff when they walk through, the other does 20-100 damage, causes spies to not be able to cloak for 5 seconds, and makes a loud noise.

I think that there should be some form of "generator" that requires metal to keep the shield up. I really like the idea otherwise.

I absolutely love this idea

I can finally build a wall accross ctf_2fort and rid those MEXICANS (RED TEAM) from my AMERICAN PARADISE (BLU INTEL ROOM)

WE SHOULD BUILD A WALL!

Have you tried using the mod in a listen server? It seems to work there I think

@Quin
Thanks for taking time to respond. I don't know much about that gamescripts, but that's fine. Yeah, the particles look really good in the actual preview, I just wish they appeared in the game. Going through the trouble to actually rig it to work would probably be a waste of time anyway.
I still wish that it was a walk through teleporter over the dispenser, but since it's only a mod to showcase how it looks, that also would be pointless to set up as a mod.
I am pretty happy with it. I hope it gets at least some attention becaue Valve has ignored most building submissions. Keep up the great work.

The item has a toolbox in it, it just simply doesnt work because of the gamescripts. Same goes for the particles since they are completly custom they would need to be scripted into the animation itself before they can be fired.

Okay, I really like this, even after my last comment. I've taken time to fully test this out in the mod. It seems incomplete due to it not coming out of the toolbox like most buildings. Also, the particles were included in the mod file but they're not rigged to acutally be viewed, so that it appears there are no particles. The build animation is pretty good, the upgrade animations work well too.
Besides the parts I haven't been able to see, the only proble, I still have is that it has no toolbox. If Valve doesn't like the energy shield idea, maybe it could even be a teleporter that you walk through, like a portal. Good work still.

This is an amazing idea, I can see it being used as a barricade to block enemy fire, or being placed in a doorway as a trap for unsuspecting passers-by. But as I was thinking about the "blocking enemy fire" capability, I realized, "How would the enemy be able to destroy it without a sapper, or even with one?" And I decided it would need some part of it to be larger than the two poles, probably dispenser sized, although maybe with different dimensions. Think of it like the feild generator, or something. It would only need to be attatched to one of the two poles, and if strategically placed, can make it harder for an enemy merc to destroy it. That way, I feel it would be a very balanced, more defensive option. I'm a big fan of Quin, Chaofanatic, and Pybun's work as well, both on and off TF2, and seeing that this was made by them all working together again almost made me sqeal. ^v^

Omg this is epic

so it says would you like this item to be in tf2? me:HELL YEA!!

I would buy you a bottle of beer for that stuff, completely awesome, awesome, and i would also say that it's kinda awesome too. Love it!

how i can danlowd it ?

really cool, but too op or completely useless, depending on the application. Plus, a bunch of engis could circle the point or the intel with them

seams a bit to op xD

this fuckin needs to be added

if this would be a wepon it would replace the despenser and it would be a special pda

Looks like a simular concept to a tool used in Quakeworlds Custom TF ( A mod for the original Team Fortress for Quake 1 ).

You can see them here in this video:

I posted a few concepts on it before, but I think it'd be better to have this as a Teleporter replacement and have it that you need to build each post individually and they connect directly unless there's something obstructing them or they're too far away from one another.

I also think the buildings are way too skinny though over all. Here's a simple concept I drew up some time ago that might give you an idea on how they could look if your interested:

On a side note though I will say I like the actual visual effect of the shield itself. Looks pretty neat.

Not bad, but it actually has to come out of a toolbox during it's level one build animation. It's interesting enough.

Would be a good teleporter replacement, since teleporters are hardly useful when defending last.

A Material Emancipation Grill for Engie?

Yes, please.

needs to be damagable and more engi related .

Bulk it up a bit. Otherwise, it's nice but i don't quite understand the purpose of the weapon.

It looks really good
I dont know why people complaining

Very good idea.

I'm in agreement with what Square said, it looks really flimsy. The idea is pretty neat though.

Certainly an interesting idea, however the model itself is a little out of style, it doesn't look clunky like the rest of engies buildings or like something he'd construct easily out of metal.

Omg. it woud be soo cool to block doorways with it

I can't figure out how this building and/or weapon would be used in Team Fortress 2 without either being an obvious trap that gets destroyed quickly, or being overpowered if it is capable of destroying projectiles. I'm upvoting it anyway.

i love it, but any chance we can see the sapping animation, and gibs?

This isn't a game breaker at all

ITS AWESOME!!! I LIKE THIS SO MUCH!!!

Can someone explain how the hell this would be fair in a TF2 match?!

Neat!

YESYESYES
You dont know how much i waited for a building concept
and its here
and its bootyful
OMG i love it!

YES! YES!

Glad to see a engineer building make it into Arms Race.
Make sure to submit your entry by the deadline, though.

amazing m8

I cannot help but say that this reminds me of Portal 2 & Portal Stories: Mel. Anyways, great work and I hope this gets inputed into the game (one way or another)!
