What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
I haven't used hammer and all info in this suggestion has only been gathered from online research on various brushes in the program.
Quite a few areas of the map have "Player Clip" walls within them. These are basically invisible walls that players cannot pass, but almost EVERYTHING ELSE CAN. This includes props, entities, and vehicles.
One example of this is the giant catwalk in Heavy, right outside of E11 spawn. You can't jump off this railing, but you can use your gravity gun to drop keycards, guns, and props down here:
In this suggestion, the main two clips I want to be changed are in Core Sector:
The Core Sector Pit:
and...
The Maintenance Room in the Research Hall:
In these two areas, the mappers decided to use player clips in the entire area of the pit and maintenance room. This means it is IMPOSSIBLE to walk around in these areas. However, props, vehicles, and entities can all fall down.
Pictured here: A Player is unable to stand (You can see they are suspended in midair), and a driveable APC working perfectly fine next to them. Serves as proof that players cannot move around in these places, but entities can.
In short, this suggestion is asking that the player clips are made MUCH THINNER so that GameMasters and alike can allow players to move around in these areas that are unusable in normal RP. It'd be a really quick change- just a matter of changing the size of the Player Clip to be really thin and only stop people from jumping off the core sector pit, or clipping through the maintenance room door.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Nope
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Allows GM more freedom for cooler events
Is quite a simple change
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
If GMs can use these areas mappers may need to texture more parts of it so normal people can't see through walls and stuff
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
It's a nice and quick change that could open new opportunities for events.
