MediaTracker Triggers To Big

[Skeleton]

I think I mentioned this a while back but I can't find it now and it got overlooked.
It was the things you could do in the MediaTracker that got me hooked on this game. With the launch of Shootmania I now find that the triggers are to big. A lot of the blocks are not very wide so your triggers overlap other areas where you don't want the trigger to happen. With the offset start you have to put two triggers to cover and this then also goes to the outside of the block. I really feel if triggers were the same size as the offzones you would be able to do a lot more with the MediaTracker and make it a lot more precise. This would also help in TM2 because at the moment you can't put a trigger on just one of the double tunnel roads.

Yep, I totaly agree. Rotatable triggers a 3rd of the normal size would be awesome.

Edit: Second idea could be to not make the triggers snap to the grid.

MT triggers that have the size of the offzone selection block could be a nice addition.

I wanted to put a trigger if you walked inside block 3-5-1 but you have to use 2 triggers and half of them are outside the block and get triggered without even entering

Image showing what I mean

Four triggers the size of the offzone fit perfectly

Not a lot of interest here, I guess not enough players put the mediatracker to it's full use.
I think this is there at the top of a long list of things to be changed.
For those who are not sure what the mediatracker can do check out my trump card 1 remake.

The Trump Card Canyon

Not lowering myself to promote a track just want smaller triggers

This please

Indeed, a nice idea.


Not much to add to that.^^

I take it not enough support for this
If more people would use the ingame MT you would realize how important this is.
I need more backing for it please.

What would smaller triggers do for your maps?
Canyon tunnels with two roads, at the moment one trigger for both roads, smaller triggers would mean a trigger for each road. Depending on which road you take something different could happen.
new and old roads above ground, triggers at the moment take up to much of the off road either side, smaller triggers would allow you to trigger something as soon as someone leaves the road.
Most blocks in storm would benefit from smaller triggers because some blocks are off center so you need 2 triggers at the moment that takes up a lot of area around the blocks so get triggered when you don't want them to.
On stadium if you want to give advise via the mediatracker, with smaller triggers you could tell someone to keep left if they're on the right side of the road.
There's so much smaller triggers can do.
We really need this people.

Enough said I think

Thank you

I think this is a very important topic and it should be seen by more people. I don't use the MT often but i do excactly see the problems and i want to support your suggestion.
I can't do more than pushing this thread.

And: Hey Hylis, look at the posts above mine. I think they could be very interesting!
