I need this feature activated for my zone, which is simple enough, but I have a problem when using it. I don't use a full map, so how am I supposed to keep the balls inside the map? Is there a bot option to "check" the location of the ball?

TIA

Hrmmm...

Does it include door tiles as walls?

To be really lame, you could put goal tiles all the way around the edge of the map.

That would work, except there is an optional goal area designed for that feature. I could probably do that, if I took out the goal area (pointless in my zone anyhow), but how would I disable that ANNOYING "GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!" .wa2?

Yes Akai, the ball passes through doors just as easily as through regular walls.

Make a blank goal.wa2 and use a bot to sound a custom bong (27 and up) with the goal sound when a goal in the desired area is scored.

oh, so you put goal tiles all the way around? good thinkin'

it's goal.wa2 - use .lvz

So if I just upload a blank goal.wa2, it will be gone (besides in a %## macro)?

uh, ya (what do you mean besides?)

I mean like a %12 macro (the Unf! Unf! Unf! one...). The goal bong is still in there as a default bong, that a player can do. Maybe not....

%104 - but I think it's just coded to goal.wa2

I s'pose you can replace bong104.wa2, never tried

It's alright if it's just a usable bong, but I just don't want it to happen everytime someone scores. Now, how would I get rid of the text that comes up when someone scores a goal?

You can't, without recoding the game

Another problem is that the ball wont bounce off the goals. I just disappears and respawns somewhere in the middle of the map. So the question for a bong sound is unimportant.

Yeah really. ...?

My intent was for the goals to act as a barrier (you score when the ball is over goal tiles?), which triggers the GOAL! bong. So it is important.
