1) Make a cog that makes it where if you don't kill another player in a specified time your screen fades to black and you die?

2) And can you make a dome that is not like in a building but on the outside of a building like a cathedral? So it would be done using negative space editing? Is that possible?

As for the cogging question, I think yes its possible. As for the dome question, try the indoor sector illusion tutorial here at wonderfull Massasi.
The irreverant crapsayer strikes again!

for the cogging you would need a pulse message
do you need me to do it for you?

and for the dome, if you don't do it with a 3do, your framerate would be in the decimal range
And meanwhile the bus with legs has destroyed half of disneyland . . . and nobody cares!

External Domes aren't difficult to make but overuse will decimate framerate. Cleave a cube sector at the bottom of a big room and from a side-view cleave the sector into half and octogen

now select all sectors and rotate 45 degress on the z axis and do the same again repeatedly until you get the dome shape, then delete

Midget if you would do the cog I'd be forever grateful. I'll do a dome 3do. Muchas gracias

i was gonna see if i could do this just to test my self so first i started with the falling death cog where camerfades out

and then where it says settimer amount of time before you die i think i was gonna make it an if statement but then i couldnt think of how to make i send some sort of message syaing you killed somone so first on an outlandish hunch i decide to look for acommand that checks the score...couldnt find one. then i decided i could dedicate one of those empty bins to how many poeple you kill and use the code from pedestrian cogs
somthing like this:
player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
killer = GetSourceRef();

// Player killed a pedestrian.
if (player == killer)
{
ChangeInv( player, new bin #, 1.0 );
}

then back in the timer section you could put:

kills=getinv(player, new bin #)
if (kills != 1)
{DamageThing(player, 1000, 1, -1);
}

so then the end code would look something like this if anyone finds a problem with it please tell me:
