Final Submission.

Group Statement:

THE AIM OF OUR SNAKES AND LADDERS DRIVEN MAP IS TO REACH THE TOP OF THE BUILDING VIA A SERIES OF ELEVATORS AND TELEPORTERS. SOME OF THESE ELEVATORS GO UP AND SOME OF THEM GO DOWN. THE BUILDING IS CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A POWER FAILURE, SO A FLICK OF THE SWITCH WILL GIVE THE PLAYER LIGHT FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THE POWER FAILURE ISN'T HELPED BY BURST WATER PIPES RUNNING THROUGH THE BUILDING. SWOOOSH!


RESPONSIBILITIES:


  • TOMMY WONG IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KISMET. HE WILL WRITE A KISMET SEQUENCE WHICH RUNS THE LIGHTING SYSTEM.

  • SAM LI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PARTICLES. HE WILL CREATE PARTICLE SYSTEMS THAT WILL APPEAR THROUGHOUT THE MAP.

  • ERIC LEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MATINEE. HE WILL CREATE A PATH THROUGH THE STATIC MESH WITH PROGRAMMED ELEVATORS.

Particle systems are generally used to enhance or make a scene/map look more realistic. For this map I used the particle system mainly as a reference point for players and also create a some what unique scene when they reach the huge opening near the top of the model. *(not sure about this, but I've tried to run the map a few times, and each time I got different and weird result with the particle system).
