This excludes areas that are accessible through an exisiting building, ladder or a staircase.

Entities shouldn't be used as a building material. They should only be used for their intentional RP purpose, excluding metal detectors, which can be used freely as long as they don't break other building rules.

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.

Pretty sure keypads aren't entities though.

They are 100% entities anything that is not a prop that is spawned into the game is an entity.

Oh, okay then - don't mind me ^.^

Oh but when I say it no one cares

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.

Are you kidding me thats directly forbidden in the rules.

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...

If they're not connected then they're invalid, however I guess this will be brought up in the Lead Team meeting this Saturday to ensure that this simply won't be allowed in general.

But when I say this nobody cares

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	SkeletonWarrior Offline Diamond Boarder A Pure Legend! Posts: 3262 Thanks received: 1124 Karma: 3

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"	KapiJam Offline Diamond Boarder emotionally attracted to chuteuk Posts: 4646 Thanks received: 1148 Karma: 90

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.

If the keypad was used to control a fading door they don't need to be removed, but the post clearly stated they were being intentionally used only for cover.

but people can just loophole around it really easily by putting some bs props down which will be blown up by themselves when they tgun the door
