Top Of Map Properties

Right now when you climb up to the top of the map and stand on top of a block that is built the highest up it can be placed, you glitch out, teleporting/hoping around a bit. It isn't controllable and is a major pain for builders building tall walls as it can easily cause you to fall off to your death.

Representation as to what happens when you are standing on blocks at top of map


I know this is due to the height limit of maps restricting movement, but I think this should be altered a bit.

What I would like to see is the block limit of each map remain the same, but for all maps, add an additional 2-3 blocks in extra height, a kind of "ghost layer" where players and other objects can exist without spazzing out, but nothing can be built there. No backwall, no ladders, no nothing, only objects and players can exist.

I hate to make the comparison to Minecraft, but in that game if you build straight up, you eventually can no longer build, but can still walk around without teleporting and falling to your death.

This allows builders to build straight up without having to worry about falling off before their tower is built and losing all of their resources. Same goes with knights and archers just trying to walk across the surface.

This also might fix the black block problem that occurs every so often where a block is created at the highest point, but when the structure collapses, it remains, allowing for archers to use their grapple onto it.

 

That is a good start, but the teleporting/hopping occurs across the entire map at the highest building point. If you could extend it across the entire map at the highest level, it would keep it from occuring completely.

 

Yes, there is a no build sector there, but when you build as high up as you can go and then try to stand on it, you glitch out. That is the problem I am referring to.

 

There's a reason for having map borders, why have them if you want to exceed them?

Also if you'd be able to go even further than the map would allow you'd be able to build space bridges (not like we haven't ever seen that before) which is just bad.

 

I understand now, that you for the .gif. Seems to work perfect and way better than the current system.

Very well done.

Mentioning @Geti to see what he thinks.
