Yeah but this is TrackMania contest. This would be possible for ShootMania only (items + gates).

Just try to do for this game TrackMania.
I really need to create the appearance of objects in the TM. I can create a special self-effects. Most important thing for my triggers - they should not respond to the others until I will press Enter-- reset the counter the expense of my triggers. Possible?

ex:

After that there we have all crystals we go through the archway with the boss. (entrance fee you give all crystals that you have accumulated).

How may I do that if objects aren't available for TrackMania?

TrackMania doesn't hold the same script abilities as shootmania.

Also, checking player mediatracker clip via script isn't available yet (if it's at least planned).

Ah, what a pity! I was hoping I could to do something interesting in TM. Nevertheless, thanks for the help! You made my day!

Time to announce the winner...

The competition winning idea is ManiaExchange Knock-Out requested by djhubertus! Gratz!

The mode will be developed in next 2 weeks.

Why I choose this one?
Every week there is an MX KnockOut and the event still uses server controller plugin as game mode. Why not making a script version of the mode with more abilities and less lags for these events?

@Other submissions:

• Reaby - the idea is very nice, although I see the mode not so populated. Anyway nice request and I'll think about it in future
• Adamkoo & Nerpson - I'll connect your ideas and make very simple script with instant respawn and AccelCoef/ControlCoef settings It's so easy so no problem for me.
• Other users - the ideas were not possible to be done, complicated or very hard to do. Thaks for requesting them anyway

Ty, domino!

This contest is end, but i don't care

I creating maps for my new title pack in classic NFS theme, but this will be useless TP without any new maptype/gamemode. What about a races with damage limit (heavily damaged player got race end), or check with "traffic" cars collisions, like in Pursuit gamemode? And some acceleration/control limitations (because TM cars is 2fast for real)

What you described here would be pretty cool but it's impossible or nearly. Even if ManiaScript opens a large amount of possibilities, this is not supported.

After the fact obviously, but would it be possible to create a speedrun title pack?

For example, a titlepack that would play through the campaign tracks in order, while adding up the overall time on the tracks but discarding loading times.

I know that Frostbuele has speedrun both Canyon and Stadium campaigns, but the loading times alone would cause a significant time loss (for me and others I'd guess). Also, oftentimes in the campaign the opponent selection window will pop up and force me to change opponents before I can start the track, I don't know why. But things like this make it so speedrunning the game is not practical. Not to mention there is no "next track" button.

And while I don't play Stadium, I know I would 100% watch streams of people speedrunning. It could even end up creating more exposure for the game as watching a speedrun allows for a good jumping on point for new players.
