Can I be a hostage
"Help! Help!"
"Please, let me go!"
"Won't anybody help me? I want to go home!"

Assuming you those ae concepts, they're great.

For the actual game they'd need to be a lot larger.

If you need any help with Graphics, I'm right here.

Thanks. A power generator for the inside of the warehouse (at the end of that big pipe, and connecting to the small power line, let's assume it works on natural gas,) would be helpful for the game. Do whatever you please with the generator, but it has to have a switch on it somewhere for a puzzle element.

(PS: The height of the floors corresponds exactly with the bank's floors. So the height doesn't need an increase.)

Oh, and a note: Chess club is on tuesdays and the scripter I know goes to chess club and I just told him about the idea today, so the earliest he will possibly start scripting this game is most likely next tuesday. So don't expect any progress on that note until then.

And sheena, I really think you might be able to easily procure a major or elite rank. We still need a general.

Tank, Why not download a scripting program such as Flash develop and code the game yourself? It'd take longer, but it would be more of an achievement for you.

Use this scripter as a teacher, if they will let you. It means you can code the game how you want, and add exactly what you want.

Thanks, but from what I heard from the scripter, it's something for somebody with patience, and I have little. That and he doesn't know much scripting. That and he can't do graphics design. I can't script, he can't do graphics design, which makes us perfect partners. That and I am more than willing to push him to persue the small details while offering suggestions (With my limited scripting knowledge from roblox) to get him to make a great game. And I am perfectly fine with managing it myself. I see my potential for leadership skills.

And I get the feeling you are that kind of person who can tell exactly what people are like and understands everybody is different.

And I am probably going to emphasize using scripts that have variables that can be set easily for easy customization. I can edit scripts a bit, so having that customization will allow me to tweak it so it works like I want it.

Can you make the generator for me?

[Knyh Risotto]

I'd suggest asking him to start with a basic game code(Movement, mainly), Beta that, then add weapons, health and extras. Also recruiting a musician for the game music, if there is any, would be pretty nice.

I'll have the Generator done ASAP.

(Also, Flash is very different to Roblox.)

Beatboxing for the music, anyone? I know a pretty good beatboxer that might help me with the music. He sounds pretty good too, and he can do alot of different beatboxing tricks.

If that doesn't sound good, I am out of ideas for that one right now.

I think the game is going to be similar to Ioji's games, except for maybe a few shortcuts like F to start aiming to fire, and the use of the arrow keys to do basic movement actions. Up is the shortcut for up, diagnolly left up and diagnally left right movements, and down preforms a similar function. 1, 2, 3, and more as needed would allow you to select different squads, c will allow you to use the speech bubbles, which include random jokes if you don't have anything to actually say, r reloads, z allows you to use the radio function (Which also acts like a help function too, but you get a penality for using it too much,) q allows you to use member one of the squad you have selected's abilities (On the left,) and e allows you to use the other memeber's abilities. These are just ideas right now.

[Trick Brancacane]

You better pay that kid when the game is done.

BIG MONEY.

[Tankbuilder Smith]

That would require me selling the game, and you don't want that, do you?
(Besides, Ioji probably wouldn't make it so you would get award points from it if it wasn't free.)

[Sheena Totoro]

Just double-checking: The General sits in a cushy office somewhere with air-conditioning and orders soldiers around, right? That sounds perfect!
"Run faster or you're going to get your rump deep-fried!"
"Come on, ladies, put some back into it!"
"Is that what you call a SMART move?"

What dyou think? I could probably think of more, if you give me some guidelines.

He does.

Also, I envisioned him as a military man and thought this dialog (Between the commander and the general) would fit his personality.

(In the military you are guarenteed 1 hour of sleep. That's the premise behind this joke.)

Commander: Are you getting enough sleep?
General: Yeah, I make sure I get at least 3 hours of sleep now.
Commander: ...
General: What's that look for?
Commander: You aren't getting enough sleep....

Edit: Also, be prepared to give alot of help lines for the game. Some of them are jokes though, and nearly all of the lines that happen when somebody presses z 4 or more times without doing anything else are jokes. Like when the combat engineer needs to fix the electrical wires and the power and water are both turned off, and you have his squad selected, you would get one of these dialogs, or something similar.
4th time:
Trick: How am I supposed to fix the electrical wires agian?
General: USE THE COPPER PIPE!!!!
Trick: Oh.

5th time:
Trick: The copper pipe is stuck to the wall, what do i do now?
General: ...
General: Unfasten the copper pipe from the wall.
Trick: Thanks.

6th time:
Trick: How do I unfasten the copper pipe from the wall?
General: .............
General: You are starting to get on my nerves.
General: What is holding it to the wall?
Trick: Screws
General: Use a screwdriver.
Trick: Thanks.

7th time: (you get a penality for using it this much.)
Trick: How do I remove screws from the wall?
General: Screw you.
Trick: Are you going to tell me how?!?!?!
General: No.
Trick: Why?
General: I am ignoring you now.
(Trick's partner): Just turn it to the left.
Trick: Thanks.

8th time:
Trick: By left, is it left on the top side or left on the bottom side?
General: ...
Trick: Um.... help.
General: I know you are just pretending.
Trick: Am not.
General: I am ignoring you once agian.
Trick: WAIT!
(Trick's partner): SHUT UP!
Trick: Fine.
(Trick's partner): Unscrew it counterclockwise.

9th time:
Trick: What way is counterclockwise?
*Trick's partner punches trick.*
Trick: What was that for?
Me: Whatever it was, you deserved it.
Trick's partner: Stop playing around and fix the electrical lines!
Trick: Okay.

10th time
Trick: How do-
Trick's partner: <Randomized response like "Just be quiet." "Just fix it." "Stop trying to waste time." etc.>

[Tankbuilder Smith]

God, these forums are quiet around this time.

Oh, and those lines are just an example and not set in stone. They are subject to change.

[Knyh Risotto]

Tank, Edit if you have to say something. Just because nobody replied in six hours doesn't mean you can bump. WTHIT has gone days after a release before someone posts something and i don't go bumping it.
