Mapping Group?

[DW_Ant]

I am thinking of a User Group for mappers.

Since all of you know that all I talk about is maps, maps, and maps, you can easily predict that I'll like a group of mappers lol.

I think what will help us out is that whenever we encounter a problem in mapping, we can announce our issue to the group.

I'm hoping the group requirement will be similar to:
You don't have to build a map to be in this group. As long as you have interest in mapping, you can walk in ^.^

Mappers for any gametype (ONS or DM) can walk in.

So what you think?? Suggestions?? Opinions??

I am thinking of a User Group for mappers.

I've read what it says in the UCP, but what exactly is a user group?

Also, could it be extended to in-map vehicles/weapons etc? I'm having some problems with my weaps atm and I can't work them out :scratch:

...but what exactly is a user group?

I guess the main reason is to help the admins organize members into categories.
Honestly, I don't think we can do much with this group at the moment (save from knowing all the mappers in the community).
But I believe that this website is expanding, and eventually we'll have some neat features of being in groups. I'm hoping for something to display a "group announcement" saying "hey I need help on so & so if anyone have an idea to fix this send me a pm."

In short:

• Explosion collision problems with a projectile
• Can't work out how to make projectiles explode upon death (like the Mine Layer)
• Wondering whether extending a weapon will keep its special modifiers (eg. if I extend the Shock can you still make it a vorp?)

Just to note that this does work, as proved here:

static function bool AllowedFor(class<Weapon> Weapon, Pawn Other)
{
if ( ClassIsChildOf(Weapon, class'ShieldGun') || ClassIsChildOf(Weapon, class'SniperRifle') || ClassIsChildOf(Weapon, class'ONSAVRiL') || ClassIsChildOf(Weapon, class'ShockRifle') || ClassIsChildOf(Weapon, class'ClassicSniperRifle'))
return true;

if(instr(caps(string(Weapon)), "AVRIL") > -1)//hack for vinv avril
return true;

return false;
}
