While just lazing around on the PC playing shooters I start thinking of racers like Need for Speed Underground. Then I come onto my favorite race, the Drag. I'm thinking, we have Drag racers on BYOND but where's the custom in it? Wheres the single-player option and where's the tuning?
Thats where the Quest begins. I code pretty well, and my Cars are practicly unrivalled, so this is yet another 1 man project.
But before I even started making the actual folder to house it in, I wondered about maps, and how I could be able work them for this sort of thing - I'm looking for NSFU style drag racing with tuning.
My ideas turned to the problem that was multiple races on the same map:

I'm thinking about a certain game, but the problem is I need to make it so if there is a event (1 on 1 battle etc.) between someone else and you, is it possible to give you a place where nobody else can go to while you are doing (Fighting, for the example) it?
Say like:
Bob and Jack decide to battle, they get taken to a area to fight in.
Jill and Adam also decide to battle (But they can't go in Bob & Jack's area) so they get taken to a different, yet exactly the same area.

Make a battle scene type thing on a different x, and then when the battle starts they are transported there.

I'm a little scared of using that way because if my game actually becomes popular then the areas will be stacking up.

I'm also thinking about not using that idea at all, the actual game idea map is proberly going to be 8x280 for a single area - I can't copy all that out..

Explain further... else I might as well have to make each area different, which is a good and bad thing.
PS: Stop saying PVP arena. Its a drag racing game I haven't even started.

Alright, a first comment finally.
I know it was, theres some things that I'm not good at or haven't started learning, and I guess now is the time to do it. | |
Associate each car in the match with all other cars in that match. This can be done in a multitude of ways, but I would suggest using the group[] list. Then perform a check in Bump() to determine if the bumped car is in the same group; if it isn't, allow movment as if the space was empty.
