Well this is for a map that's kind of...just happened from my texturing in XSI experiments. Its a tomb/abandoned temple, kinda like Rhen Var but mostly underground. Anyway one thing I'd like to use are some traps (its an old tomb...of course it has to have traps )
Anyway I've got a few trap ideas, but I'd love to hear if other people have some too.
Preferably ones you can think of how to do. Traps can use (and most probably will) custom models (most of map = custom models), scripting and ZE animation.
Mine:
Hidden/Spoiler:
Flame Tunnel
Narrow tunnel with a lever just outside. Destroy lever, the three triangular vents set in the roof of the tunnel shoot jets of flame down (set units on fire). Each vent has a scaled down/invisible turret that is respawned when the lever is destroyed, has autofire on to ensure flame jets then dies a few seconds later (timer). Lever heals gradually.
Acklay Pit
Very simple...an acklay filled pit under a passage with trick floor. Destroy a lever and the floor slides into the wall (kinda like death star bridge), anyone on it falls into Acklay pit.
And i was thinking of something Indy style Maybe like darts that shoot out of walls, could be coded like you flamethrower trap. But with darts. Big, Fat, Poisonous Darts!

How about just an endless pit - you fall through a trap door (like the ones in jabba's palace), and there is an endless pit, and you fal forever....... and ever........ and ever....... until you respawn to kill yourself.
Poison Darts: heh heh.
Falling Platforms: would function fine...but probably won't use for the conquest bit (AI prob can't use them)
Room without air - Not for this map Might do a room full of poison gas though. (Would make an interesting mode....have to keep killing enemies to get health because your health gets constantly eaten away).
Garbage Crusher/Masher/Compactor: Pretty easy to do. But should it be from the walls crushing in on you or the ceiling crushing down?
Endless pit: bleh no thanks (the respawn thing is a pain + pretty illogical).

Funny, that's just like... hmm... playing as a Hero.

I think a dark/ misty maze would be cool. With Wampas or some other creature that chase you around. (Maybe have some of them ambush spawn so they could literally pop up out of nowhere )
Flammible Rooms- Rooms where every surface can explode.
Cages- You walk under the wrong spot and then a cage falls on top of you, leaving you subject to enemy fire.
Wind Tunnels with spikes on the back wall- You enter a room where you find yourself indefinitely pushed into the back wall, which kills you on contact.
@Xav: Gah, that's the exact same thing I thought when I saw this lol.
