OK, just looking for a new method of ent spawning for my next map. I've been playing around with cranes, and I think I've found a pretty good new idea. Just so you know, this bsp is just an enourmas room with a crane a cargo container and the ent spawners, I'm just using it to test out this idea.

I've only taken a couple screens just to show how much fun it is to stick stuff to the crane magnet ^_^ (and I took one to show the ent spawners)





And here's the bsp..

Just tell me what you think.

I don't really see it..do the pieces spawn under the magnet, on the magnet or at the cargo container?

I don't see the point in having a crane anyway, it's basically wasting time to have to take stuff off a crane, THEN maneuver it into position THEN freeze it, adjust it..etc etc.

I think this idea is not viable in a 'real match', could be useful for some kind of fun map, to cart pieces over walls or bridges or such though.

Where'd you get those models that make Gordon look like he's using the Force?

It was in a thread here somewhere. Do a search for force hands.

Sorry i didn't clarify this. There is one cargo container with all the spawners inside and you can move it with the crane. So there are portable spawners, but not so portable you can just pick them up with the grav gun (or force hands), but rather you have to position them using a high powered crane.
