Best excuses to block the player.

[oh bee one]

On a road-flaming ruins of a crashed combine helicopter
Anywhere sandy-ocean/river
Urban-big chunks that look like they used to belong to a building
Underground-cave-in
Desert-fence with nothingness behind it.

Post your best excuses to not let the player go beyond map boundaries.

[HoliestCow]

Giant Dev Textured Walls.

[deggemannen]

Under construction sign?

[ApertureFan]

A Skybox.

Locked doors, walls, any type of crashed vehicle.

[Jakobi]

Firing squad.

[CoolCorky]

[QUOTE=tedmani;20450735]Be inspired by Left 4 Dead 2 and use crashed vehicles[/QUOTE]

Or "Twen'y miles a' parked cars..."

[ClosetSkeleton]

A giant picture of David Bowie with rape in his eyes.

[Chrisknyfe]

Cliffs. A little more elegant than a wall.

[gerbils_alt_2]

Be imaginative.
If you want to block the end of a tunnel, and your map takes place in the half life 2 area of time, then block the tunnel with something like a crashed fuel tanker

[ViralHatred]

building/wall/fence.

[Insight]

Something that makes you leave the map. Like your leaving to another place.

[QUOTE=DemonDog;20457474]Waist high fences.[/QUOTE]

From the people who brought you "Chest High Walls"?

To the OP: It depends on the environment. In a city, go with artificial blockades like fences, cars, or rubble from old buildings. In the 'outdoors'/'wild' use natural blockades - cliffs, rocks, steep hills, or water.

[Dreyzie]

And fallen down trees.

[llamalords]

Because Captain Planet told you not too go there!

[laptopman]

Caution: zombies ahead
When they cross, have them get targeted by ai, then all the zombies will rush them, and have trigger_hurts attached to the zombies
But have an npc clip so the zombies cant get in the regular area

[IWHeadHunter]

The crashed Tanker is a classic example of a barrier:

Look at that shit, no getting past it.

[supatails]

really loud ear raping music with flashing epiliptic colors, stuff that will pop out of nowhere, scream, and take away like 50 of your health, giant crushers, lava, acid, radioactive gunk, a wall of dicks, flaming spikes or saw blades, a flying subdivided pentadohecahedron mesh made of highly rendered mirror spitting gluon particles in every direction while playing trippy music, etc.
