Additional Info: Adding Obstacles in Map

Objects not seen in the real world may be added to enhance game play. An object such as a wall may be added into the map using the “add obstacle” tool as shown below :

Obstacles entered into a map may also be modified. Activating the “add obstacle” tool brings up a different menu set for this specific tool. Obstacles are selected from the scroll menu to the right and are installed the same way as with map boundaries. They contain anchor points, allowing the user to adjust the size of the obstacle to fit their needs. Anchor points in the obstacle may be added and moved, creating different shapes. For example if this brick wall was to be put onto a curved road, the anchor points may be adjusted to shape this obstacle in the same way as the road.
Just like in the weapons/items menu, pressing and holding a specific item will bring up its attributes, informing users of how the obstacles work. Brick walls function to block players from this point on the map. Steel fences do the same thing however, unlike brick walls, they can be shot through. Pressing the “add obstacle” tool button will return the user to the first map creation menu.
