A Ball

After witnessing a game taking place on the server this morning it came to my attention that several students and hopefuls alike like to play games that involve kicking things around, which with droids or crates is a little unrealistic.

I'm just putting it out there for anyone who can make a small ball object that would work the same way crates and the likes do that could be kicked around for use in games... anyone up for that?

Thank you for making this suggestion, master Tholmai. I've been looking forward to playing games that included the style of soccer, volleyball and regular real life games that include phere like objects. However, volleyball will require force push, which master Tholmail explain and keeping the object off the ground for as long as possible, then there's the fact that if we use droids for soccer, they eventually take too much damage and will be destroyed, if we use Kyle, he constantly falls over if players kick it at the same time, if anyone is up to model this or create a ball like object from a seeker drone (Make it a bit larger and kickable, and indestructable) It could work.

I present to you Hydroball!

It's clearly possible.

The issue is physics I think.

While Zeak is correct, it MIGHT be possible. As we have seen with RPMod many things are possible, and I would definately be able to model a small volleyball sized ball and perhaps add it to the throwable stuff section of NPCs.

I dont really know if it will work or not until its tested, as the Q3 engine is very unpredictable at times. Alternatively, I believe there is a remote that can be spawned (Often used for jump exercises) that might actually work. Only problem is I know it likes to 'do its own thang' at times and therefore might cause some problems.

I'll look into it.

I think something like Hydroball could be implemented into RPMod for the sake of the younger Hopefuls and Initiates. Might be fun for everyone as well!

Yes! I'd suggest you allow hopefuls to spawn them, but that would be asking for mingebags to go into the server and crash it with too many objects. However, this would be extremely good, especially since I think there should be more for Hopefuls to do.

Why not make it more Jedi-like, and do what we did when I was a young(er) padawan...

Spawn a frozen interrogation droid, and use the Force to push it around. It's fun, and is a realistic exercise, methinks.

Hopefuls can't push it around though.

Gravball would be awesome.

Im up for it

I'm willing to go with something like this if it worked, otherwise there are workarounds with existing NPCs, like the Interrogation Droid idea suggested above.

The question with a ball is if it'd look right considering the lack of a physics system, as Zeak pointed out.
