[suggestion] Single Player Mode + Single Player Mode Ideas

[Elmigo]

Hello, (Mania)Planet!

I don't know wheather it's going to come or not, but a single player mode would be the best thing ever for me. It might be a cool idea to be able to create spawners that spawn enemies who defend a block you choose. For example you place an enemy spawner in the editor, and then the game asks which block they should defend, and you choose one. Just... something like that.

Best regards,

Elmigo

EDIT
I can think of plenty small things that will make a single player mode interesting. Some examples will follow below:
* The ability to set when a door will open. This can be a time value or a number of enemies that has to be killed (or all enemies).
* Tell what your enemies will do: flee/run away or attack the player, maybe even hide from player or move to player (with function to allow jumping from objects or not).
* Create a labyrinth-mode in which you can create your own labyrinth with maybe even walls that can move, and traps. Or enemies anywhere in the labyrinth that wait for you to come.

To make it a little less complicated to set these actions, they can maybe use the same way as they did with creating rules for your mailbox here on ManiaPlanet.com

If I remember correctly, Hylis denied bots, at least for the moment, so single player als makes no sense.
Perhaps it will be possible to have animated objects later, and bots much later.
But actually there is no plan to have single player in ShootMania.

That's pretty sad. I'm sure it'll bring awesome possibilities if they did that.

As far as I remember there were "Bots" included when Hylis showed off Beta 2 stuff at PGW, he was shooting the bot's rockets with a laser e.g.

According to TMarcs post, they were unfortunately denied.

Sure they were bots and not other players (from Nadeo or special guests of the PGW)?

you are able to activate bots already! only one line of code needed.. but they can't move, they shoot at people in their line of sight but don't move at all

Sounds cool. Where can I find these?

There is a cheat code in ManiaPlanet that enables commands inside the editor to configure AI opponents. This cheat code is well known from VirtualSkipper. It may be there for backward compatibility because I tried the code without success.

I few times asked Hylis about SP and bots. He answered - "atm we working with..." and nothing about my question. No, I was sad wrong. Also he sad something like this: "Maybe I'll think about this."

(Sorry, somewhere I not correctly with times. Who can teach me in real time? )
