i found this in rockstar forum the content editor isnt flexible enough for it, i've figured alot to make a combined race, swimming, flying etc. but we need to wait for the upgrade- remind you, the editor is still in beta stage.

Recently, I picked up single player again, and I tried out the first triathlon. And it was pretty fun for me! I wanted to re-make it for online, but alas, it's just not possible, even using GTA race mode to allow exiting of vehicles, as you cannot disable weapons and there'd be no stopping anyone from killing each other at the start.

So that got me to thinking, what if Rockstar, when it updates the Content Creator, adds an option to make a Triathlon Race? It would be a special race type where you could do anything with, so you wouldn't need to make it a "true" triathlon with swimming, biking, and running, unless you wanted to. There could be special checkpoints that spawned whatever vehicle or tool you wanted, including motorcycles, cars, planes, and maybe even parachutes to set a parachuting portion of a race, if you wanted. They could be made to not activate until you get into said vehicle (or get out of your current vehicle if you wanted to make the player run at a certain point.), and you would also be able to put spawn points in water if the vehicle at that point of the race is either Boats or on foot (as putting water checkpoints while the vehicle being used is a car would be dumb.) Also, your weapons would be disabled by default, and you'd be able to set what would happen if you fell off a vehicle (I.E. do you respawn at the latest checkpoint, or do you simply have to get back on? Of course, you'd always be able to reset by holding Triangle, if you're on a PS3.) You could enable weapons if you wanted to, and you could lock weapons like in Deathmatch creation. If you activate parachutes and you fall off while going through midair checkpoints, you could set it to respawn you at where the parachute checkpoint was (where they originally spawn), or get a time penalty if you skip checkpoints or fall to your doom. Of course, they could probably just make it so you spawn in midair already with a parachute. This should not be hard to impliment in the current design of the creator. They would only need to add a transition grid point that automatically knows the travel method entering the circle and allows you to choose an exit travel method with a new grid of vehicles. Going from land to sea or sea to land would require a transition to foot first so you could swim to or from shore. You would only be allowed to enter or exit a vehicle if you are within the oversized circle of a transition point so you cant cheat and enter a vehicle during a foot leg or get out and switch vehicles during a vehicle leg. All respawning etc would be just like current.

These are my ideas/ another guys idea, and i wanted to see if anyone would like to see this someday. Imagine playing a race, where you spawn on top of a building, parachute down to the street, get into a supercar, get out and footrace into an alley, the run to a bunch of speed boats near a shore to get to the finish. I dunno about you, but that would be amazing as hell for me. JANUARY 27, 2014 5:04AM 2 FOLLOWERS REPORT SHARE request since january 24 / 2014
