new game mode

[adam01526]

i had an idea for a new game mode. it woud be called hider (for want of a better name) in this mode 1 person would be given the predator power up and the rambo bow. there would be no sound apart from that persons footsteps, when the hidden guy shot at someone there would be and arrow pointing to were the person was when he took the shot! the person is only the hider for a certian amount of time then another person becomes the hider. the objective is to score the most amount of points in the time available.

possible with scripting..

You wouldn't be able to script in the thing that shows up where the player was when he shot unless a new function was added, DrawTextMap(<same vars as DrawText>), which drew text at an X,Y on the map HINT HINT.

I think though that you would be able to say like "Above you" or "To the right" with DrawText, be pretty much the same except not as specific or accurate.

[chutem]

Yeah you could do that, actually if you change the arrow from being o top of the invisible guy to being a compass it would be really cool

This sounds a lot like a HL mod called hidden. One team is a full team of guys with guns, hunting the "hidden"; an invisible guy with the knife. (He's like 95% transperent slightly distorts the area where he would be standing) He is also inherently faster, has a move to go even faster, can jump higher, and cling to walls. He can also eat corpses of people. The only reason I brought this up is it sounds similar and you might like some of the ideas.

[chutem]

Too bad only the speed thing could be used.

EDIT: Come to think of it, predator mode doesn't make you fully transparent, and I forgot to say the knife thing aswell.

I wonder if there is any way to make a character completely invisible instead of just 90% transparent.

This kind of scripted game mode seems like a really popular idea... like kinda quite a lot of people are suggesting things similar to this and there are a couple of mods that are close to this, such as Predator Hunt. I like this idea, and I believe I've suggested this once before and someone told me about Predator Hunt.

Good Idea for a server, but a Game Mode?

Can probably be scripted <<;

As I have implied...

Maybe make the shooter say something like "Die!" when he shoots, so that he has to stay alive while the text floats above him, and then hide again.

Oh my god, wicked idea haha.


Possible with scriptin' i'd think, but nothing more then a different style of soldat.
