@Beret: yeah but I have a feeling that'd be more involved to code.

I'm thinking something like this.

shouldn't placing a block on top trigger the explosive?

They should be like intel, if you dig under it, it falls. If you place blocks on it, it goes up. If you touch it from any direction, it makes you explode like a 200 pound blood sausage dropped from a 10 story building.

i think land mines would just help out for protecting areas from the other team and you couldnt stick em near the intel so that it would still be fair

as for if you break the blocks its on it would just be disabled and if you tunnel under it wouldnt go off y would your not stepping on it...

I was actually referring to the C4 idea, which is more of a building or terrain desctruction item than an area denial weapon. Landmines are pretty self-explanitory, and I would like to see them in game as it would bring a whole new dynamic to the game.

To be fair- there has never been a proper dedicated thread about just landmines. It may as well be this one.

All those serious about considering landmines, view the discussion started by Akimbow
THERE, then continue the discussion in this (yugio's) thread here. It's probably about time the two topics branched away from each other anyway.

I dont know about the 10 second fuse though, it would be pretty irritating an the enemy would get away fast, lets keep the landmine idea, but they can not be planted within a 10x10x10 block radius (yes I know that's big, but to prevent irritation).

How's this?

But do you see how this could be used for greifing, a greifer sticks it to a wall, hides and detonates it and he doesn't get teamkilled.

Make it more like a satchel charge, which would have a 10 second fuse or something - the griefer might not be able to hide in time - and could be mined out to defuse it, but only by an enemy or by the placer (to prevent pissing off players by constantly mining their satchel - only the placer would get it back in case of a misplaced satchel).

Each team should get a different colour satchel charge, so people could see which is a friendly and which is an enemy satchel.

Agreed, C4 to greif more, lol jk.

But ya C4 is a good idea, then we would have to detonate it.

But do you see how this could be used for greifing, a greifer sticks it to a wall, hides and detonates it and he doesn't get teamkilled.

maybe C4?

Whatever lets use this thread, landmines are a good idea but so many people would put them on the intel, then it would be impossible to get the intel.

Also what would happen when you tunnel under it? Or when you break the block that its on?

I made a poll for this sort of thing:

Vote or Die!

Use the search function.

i think land mines should be added for 2 reasons 1. to set up traps and protect doorways and 2. i was on a map and talking about them andpeople agree it would be cool
