TOPIC: [CM/Owners please] Is this allowed or not?

It isn't allowed. You should ask big man Roy next time

PS: This rule was added around the time when the metal detector was used abusively in the disco bases.

Alright, I will give my voice to this.

The keypads where CONNECTED to props you blew up. We did not just place a keypad down to obstruct player mobility, nor, according you where you said you needed to crouch/jump to get by, I can confirm you this is not true, for I have went through several times without needing to jump or crouch. Our keypads where connected to props. which you have failed to show in the image given. We where not intending to use the keypads to slow you down, but for props we could take cover behind.

You placed the keypads like that because you knew the props would get blown and then you have an advantage. Then, the keypads block you. You must be able to walk through with ease, not like a maze. They shouldn't block people in any way.

Spicy wrote: That doesn't matter and you would know this if you actually read what everyone else was talking about. If the keypad is making a obstacle then it is not allowed period. It is as simple as that and whoevers dupe it is they can easily move the keypads to avoid this issue anyways. Not a big problem but that's the ZARP community.

Lets just make keypads no collided by default, and if changed, warn them for changing the collidable state of a keypad/button

EMP wrote: Sounds to me like its pretty clear you weren't using those keypads to activate contraptions. They are not props to be used for cover thats what the game gives you actual props for. Please read the rules more carefully next time especially the section that contains directly to Keypads...

Alright so emp, when the props get blown up that are connected to the keypads I should delete the keypads then?

Spicy wrote: Just don't use it as a building material (making a path that they need to go around). It's an entity place it on a wall where it is out of the way. It is stated in the rules that you can't use entities as a building meterial

Spicy wrote: It's if they are used as props it isn't allowed

From what I understand using keypads, buttons, metal detectors for building purposes (when i say building purposes I mean part of a base so in this instance they force you to navigate through them) is not allowed, although its not hard to loophole this by just building this in the specific way and saying "oh yeah someone handcannon'd it so it aint my fault"

Spicy wrote: The keypad just being on a prop doesn't make it valid. The rule states they are for controlling contraptions. If they are activating something they are clearly fine even if that something gets blown up. But if they don't activate anything they shouldn't be there. Your post said you were using them for cover.

next time sum1 tguns a base with keypads, some admin better get on and remove em
