LightBringer 0 Posted March 8, 2003 Hey, somebody should make some poles, but with the power lines on it. It should be done, like the fences of flashpoint. The pole is in the center and the power lines goes the two side to the half, the you put another one next to it, and connect the power lines nicely.. There should be a few versions, with some angle differences. And of course not only one pole type. (You know guys i'm really bored about the poles, without the wires, but the lamps in the cities are lighting... ) If somebody make this, then we should make scripts like, if some of the lines are broke (destroyed), then switch off all the lamps in a citi, and etc. And I think this won't be a big work to make some poles. What do you think? CU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AXE 0 Posted March 8, 2003 sounds good, but if one of the poles were destroyed, the other half of the line would be floating in the air. Also, you couldn't have them on anything but flat terrain, otherwise the lines wouln't match up. This is probably why BIS didn't include them in the game. However, I have seen VBS1 screenshots with powerlines in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightBringer 0 Posted March 9, 2003 Yepp... so somebody, who can make addons, should make this to us, who want to make islands... Because I think islands, with big cities need to have some electric poles... (and black-ops really want to satchel it, to darken the city...) CU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19kilo2/10Cav 0 Posted April 26, 2003 Maybe those cities have underground electricity so that poles arent necessary.....but the underground electrical systems have junction boxes...that would be a definte spec ops target. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or disable a central power building to cut lights of whole island. Its a nice option for players that like to fight in the dark.
