Reindeer Racing

wow very nice room

[Mr-Trainor]

Is there a line somewhere for people to wait?

So I'm not the only one! Took me agess to spot it .

As for adding pyramids, I completely agree and think they'd be a great obstacle to add .

Not really much to fault here, the thrones look a bit out of place but I like the idea behind this.
I've seen people do this and it takes a really long time, which could be a problem on such a long course, have you tested it yet?

I'll speak for Mathew here and it has been tested but the reindeers go on some of the obstacles and can go upto the higher presents which causes problems.

Looks pretty cool I have actually never tried a racing game with the new wired furniture before. +Rep for awesome room.

Cheers, appreciated x

Nice presents... and corners...

Good job on actually getting it made. I really like it and I really love the christmas-y feel to it.

One suggestion, if you end up getting some spare credits though. Working out conditons and stuff so that when the reindeer hits the corner, it rotates into the direction it's heading. However, this would be a very hard task to do.

I've been contemplating whether to make the room or not for weeks (ever since I first saw Scalextric, actually) but I thought I'd finally make an effort and make a.. er.. semi-original event for Habbox
I'm not sure how I could make the reindeers bump off the corners. You'd have to use the condition "Furni States and Positions Match" and also the effect "Move and Rotate Furni" but I don't know what the trigger would be, and I also don't know if it's worth it. There are 16 corners which could mean 16 groups of wired

Nice suggestion though. I don't think I have that many "spare" credits though!

Yes well I think we both know that the control pads need to be seperated. What you could do is have it so that the door opens and then shuts after one person, so two people aren't let in. That would be a good idea. I also suggest getting the Banzai Pyramids, they are very nice obstacles which do stop, rather than flying up high. That's another flaw (the height upon going on some obstacles) but I know you cba to sort it out.

I've now seperated the control pads and wired it so the door closes. Also got 10 banzai pyramids to put out.
and yeah, cba sorting out the height thing. I've got rid of the ice cubes so there won't be the height problem with that.. but it will still mess up if the reindeer happens to run into SOME of the presents. I don't know why it does it in some places but not others, so I'll just ignore it for now.

I agree with whoever (forgot) said to add a little more obstacles, to make it harder.
I like the presents on the side all stacked up, adds a Christmas-sey feel too the room

Yep, added some banzai pyramids now. It was my original intention to use the presents to simply hide the wired furni, but it does look quite a nice backdrop now

Love the room and idea man. +Rep

Cheers, appreciated. The line is near where the sleigh and reindeer is

Owow that's fabulous! Love that you've included all the penguins there and I think the presents look great! Love the reindeers too! Lovelyyyy!

Thanks Martin. Indeed, I finally found a use for those 26 penguins that haven't moved from my room for 2 years!

It was my original intention to have four reindeers racing, but a) it would cost a bomb and b) it would be rather impractical to have four "2-space items" going around at the same time. Thrones.. look fine in my opinion with the colour scheme

I'll speak for Mathew here and it has been tested but the reindeers go on some of the obstacles and can go upto the higher presents which causes problems.

How bloody annoying.

Here's a screenshot of the updated room:



EDIT: just realised that there's a candy cane blocking the track fully but I've moved it now and cba redoing a screenie, haha!

People are automatically sent to the line upon entering the room (using wired) so it kinda' works being there

I must admit, I've always thought "sick" meant "terrible" up until a few weeks ago
Cheers for rep bud x

[Matthew]

Matt that room is amazing.

The presents and banzai tiles look really good, well done!
I love the idea of the game too, I'll have to go and play some time

[Santorefish]

I like how you have hidden all the wiring furnis behind the presents, nice one matt
