In this thread Nigel contributed an excellent gameplay device. It is a Xen trampoline model that can thrust the player vertically and horizontally. I am mulling ideas for a Xen map that uses this device, and I am canvassing for ideas. Here's what I have so far:

1. The traditional trick of using a trampoline to jump up to a ledge to make progress. [An added task is to have the trampoline blocked until the player has completed an objective.]
2. Using a trampoline to thrust a player across a gap in the floor. Again, the trampoline can be blocked until the player has completed some task.
3. Requiring a player to jump across a gap but having a trampoline on the ceiling prvent that until it has been deacivated.

Any other suggestions?

Map 37 is now a trampoline-driven puzzle map. I have started the map and have some ideas I've begun implementing. We'll see how it turns out.

It's turned out quite well, actually. Most of the trampolines are "traditional", in that they thrust the player upwards. However, there is a trampoline that thrusts the player downward and one that thrusts the player sideways.
