I don't know if its been considered, but maybe try making one with no roof. Maybe something like the area the dummies spawn in on Dummy Assault. It would help in bomb testing and for craft/vehicles such as the chimera or various nuclear devices. :smile:

Here's a better way, it'll keep them from moving at all. Add this anywhere in the Update function, I hope there are no typos:
Code:
if self.Patrol == 0 then
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      -- I'm assuming you defined self.CPUTeam at the start since it's common practice
      if actor.Team == self.CPUTeam and actor.AIMode == Actor.AIMODE_SENTRY then
         actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.MOVE_LEFT , false);
         actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.MOVE_RIGHT , false);
         actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.BODY_JUMP , false);
         actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.BODY_JUMPSTART , false);
         actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.BODY_CROUCH , false);
      end
   end
end

@Zeroxys: I'll see what i can do, right now there is a buildin meant for bomb testing to the right of the main facility. If i can keep clones from engaging hostiles, I'll add it.

@Bad Boy: Thanks, that's perfect! I'll clean up my code and implement it.

Main changes:
-Bigger map
-A trigger for setting clones in sentry mode with a weak blunderpop (as they would run towards you if they were unarmed, they can't hurt doors and the gun is extremely weak). Might give them a custom, unbuyable 0-damage pistol later.
-A trigger for decreasing spawn delay from 5 seconds to 2,5


This is much better, although the blunderbuss is not that weak and can easily kill vanilla units with a few good shots.

@Sir: Bad Boy showed me how to deactivate movement for actors, so they'll be unarmed in the next version.

New version is up, finally put it in the OP. Large changes in how respawning is handled, and a new outdoors area with automatic replacement of new clones. The old chamber feels outdated and useless now... If no-one wants it, it might get removed.

The outdoors firing range might be a bit small with three spawnpoints, I'll likely increase its size and add platforms for shooting long range guns and explosives. For those uses, the indoors firing range is better ATM.

BTW, the pulse digger is awesome for clearing up the mess.

Keep the old chamber! I like to use it as a waiting room or something like that =P

Sure, it can stay. But I should probably give it the same automatic replacement of dead clones thing as the outside one.
I dont use the underground chamber myself, so what do you think? Are the settings really necessary anymore? Does anyone use moving clones? I'd love to make the chamber more useful, so any ideas on what to do with it would be great.

Could you make the chamber made of test material or something like that? Using some tough explosives at times damages the terrain so badly that I usually reset the scene too soon.

Yeah, that's a problem. I have no idea how to fix it (or if it's possible), but I'll check the wiki and experiment a bit.

You can already do that, just stand on the center "switch", the one that says "Clones jump into pit". Standing on it will make it change to "Clones stand still" or something like it.

Then start learning how to shoot moving targets. :P
