Idea Projectiles and throwables

Throwables along with other entities are not allowed. This is to reduce lag caused by using them. However there are a few entities that are allowed (Item frames, etc.).
I like your optimism about testing Archer on CTF maps though as I said the lag caused is big.

I think we should add an enderpearl that's it

 

+1 (but...conditionally?)

I've wondered about this too, because I'm also designing a CTF map (albeit VERY gradually and slowly, lol) and it bothered me that I couldn't test to see whether or not arrows would be able to reach areas like the flag room or spawn room from certain vantage points. Is there any way to allow these but SEVERELY HINDERED, like be allowed to shoot OR throw one item every so many seconds on an entire map (just so that it isn't keeping track of each player or each type of item that was used on separate timers)?

I can understand the difficulty in allowing all classes to be tested fully (the last thing Build servers need are CTF elf testers flying around maps) but it would be nice to at least allow things like tossing a snowball, testing a pearl teleport for possible exploitation avoidance, or shooting an arrow, or even gaining speed buffs to test the timing on covering distances with faster classes in CTF. This kind of testing would likely be helpful for other game mode map designs and would likely lead to overall better map designs in the long run.

 

I agree with @NickManEA Sure it would be nice to test ctf maps with this idea, but I can see a lot of players spamming enderpearls or arrows which would cause a lot of lag. -1 (Sorry)
