Duplicating Timing Gates

Post by 808 »

A way to make two versions of one certain timing gate, so like two "15" timing gates, this would allow split sections to actually work

If I can remember, this could be done with scripting. Really waiting for this too.

Missed it in my last post, but you're more likely to use something like

Code: Select all

13 14 || 15
meaning you are going to have to go through 14 or 15. Maybe even

Code: Select all

11 12 (13 14  15 || 16 17 18) 19 20
this in my mind means that you're going through 13 14 15 or 16 17 18, so either side within the parenthesis.

Scripting might help but it's going to require some special attention. It's annoying since there's all kinds of scripts out there that don't expect multiple paths in the racetrack. Probably do split gates and try to arrange them so you'd hit them at approximately the same time down either path. Then maybe have a script on the client that turns off one path if it was never taken. Definitely makes a mess for scoring!

Bumping this topic in light of SMX deciding that they want split starts every track :lol:

Any new ideas/possible solutions to this issue that you have thought of jlv? I guess it's not suuuper bad like joker lanes were for MEC because of the nature of the splitting, but it's still an annoyance when someone can cut half the obstacles and not get penalties.

I don't have a better idea than what I said in the last post. Is there a map of an SMX split start?

Looks like one gate covering the ends of both start straights would work for those two tracks.
