[FAQ GOES HERE] FAQ here
Ok you guys are amazing. A lot of comments, I can't keep up. I'll try to answer the frequently asked questions here. Let's go...

Will you expand this map?
  • Probably not. The tank itself is already extremely complex, I'm probably at the limit of the Source engine

Can you make it move?
  • That's a hard one. I can do the old trick of scrolling textures and trigger_push, but I don't know... Maybe I do something like that on the non-destructible version

NAV MESH? AI NODES? AAAAAAA
  • Next update, jesus... It's out! yay

How do I control the turret?
  • Press USE on the thing. Aim on the light things to change turret direction. Shot the eye button thing to disable auto aim. Do you think I know how to control that turret? For me it's kind of Source Engine magic the ability to marginally aim without the need to push buttons

More questions? Yeah please, leave a comment, I'll add to the list if the question is relevant.

Speaking of which.
@Midlou How come the firing effects seem so much less intense than in the thumbnail?

Do you have any plans in the future to make more maps like this

Is it intended that whenever you step relatively closet to the cannons it just rapid fires?

Editing magic PLUS a map version I made just to record the Thumbnail Gif. I think I'll add a switch in the admin room to enable the same effects used on the thumbnail

Not right now. It all depends on the hype of moment or ideas I want to apply.

Oh yeah, that one. Some people complained about that exactly same behavior on my map Tank Race. I think it has something to do with a random NPC addon. I mean, the turret uses a npc_launcher to fire rockets. IT'S ALIVE!

Oh in that case I might be able to pinpoint which addon it is later then

Would you ever consider making a non destructable version?

I think I know what you are asking, they are using VFire for the flame particles

I have plans to make a non-destructible version. No idea when it will come out.
