So this is the direction and inspiration but not necessarily the goal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B7GIBG890k
It is already playable but has some drawbacks which I will describe later.
What you need:
Mods: default, mesecons (http://mesecons.net/), woldedit (https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=572)
Manipulated mods from attachment: starttimer, nuke
Files from attachment: tntrun.mts
How to set up minetest TNT-Run:
1. recommended: create a new world
2. copy folder schems into newly created world folder
3. activate the mods and start the game (recommended: no damage)
4.
- Code: Select all
//grant *admin* all
5.
- Code: Select all
//pos1
6.
- Code: Select all
//mtschemplace tntrun
7. climb/fly into the arena (there is a ladder on the inside)
8. the game starts as soon as you touch the pressureplates (which all players should do simultaneously ;-) )
===>>> run as long as you can, who reaches the bottom last wins the round
Todo (I would have done it if I could, but this exceeds my knowledge so: help is very welcome):
- edit the arena so it is more beautiful and useful
- the switch connected to the TNT should force players to arena. Useless without damage, create huge LAG; there must be a better way
- explosions and falling damage kills players when damage is on
- there should be a possibility to restart a game when pressing any kind of bottom or other (thought of mod: deploy_nodes (https://github.com/cornernote/minetest-deploy_nodes) but didn't get it to work with .we files)
- there should be some kind of action when people reach the bottom
- the pressureplate timer should not be started though a abm (computing resources) but a single event. I have no idea how to!
- there should be better/faster recognition of players. At the moment, you can avoid 50% of explosions by jumping (therefore jumping is -for now- only allowed when there is no choice ;-) )
- there should be different sizes of arenas
- someone who hosts a public server for people to play (only tested on private server with 3 Players)
