FTF gamemode (Find The Flag)
« on: January 18, 2010, 06:04:08 am »
 :D can a scripter(obviously a good one) make a new game mode for my server called FTF aka Find The Flag it is smiler to ctf but the flags are invisible and to give a hint you type  /showflag 1(for red flag) /showflag 2(for blue) and it will show flag for 4 seconds then disapear and you can only do that 1 time ever time you live and die  but you can only see your own flag not the oppositions say if i was on alpha team  i can only see red flag but not blue flag if i was on bravo i can only see blue flag but not red flag...... get my point anyway please reply and i hope it gets made if so please post it back on this topic.

There is something called punctuation, which you don't seem to use.
And making flags invisible is impossible.

I Know There Is Punctuation.   And Well It's Not Against The Law To Not Use Correct Punctuation.

oh ok, umm.   well if you cant do that, can you put somthing over it to make it look invisible untill the player grabs it maybe?

you can place doesn't collide polygons over a flag spawn OR make several flag spawns of the same type in different areas to make it appear/disappear unpredictably. No scripting involved, just mapping.

Pluse no one would want to go through all the fustration and test untill they got it. we all hate to get fustrated.( >:( ) but is a great idea if it was possible it would be a big hit in servers for good players. who nows mabe !elite would make an !elite Find The Flag server for elite loveing players. you can try to make soch a script for kicks and see if it works. if it does wee!!!

1.Punctuation doesn't mean capitalizing the first letter of every single word, it's an idiot's idea of grammar.

2.Flags CANNOT be made invisible, and what do you do after obtaining the flag, since you can't see the opposition's flag? How do you score? What determines which team would win?

3.I wouldn't call it a GAME MODE, but a sub game mode.

Punctuation isn't a law, but without it you're only making it harder for others to read and understand what you're saying. If you can't even type properly - don't expect that your point will get across.
To be honest - I only read the comments and didn't even bother with the main post. My head hurts and my eyes start bleeding.

Anyway, flags can not be invisible, however they can be hidden behind polygons or sceneries set to "front".
You can also place multiple flag spawns on a map which causes flags to appear at random spawns (however they'll be counted as "loose" flags, because there can only be one "home" spawn).
If someone's creative enough - he can make something interesting out of it. This concept can even be used in normal CTF maps. I'd sure like to see someone make a map based on multiple flag spawns. :F
I've attached an example map:

Why not do something like Find The Bot (lol  :) ) But seriously it would easier to make... Just make 2 bots 1 blue 1 red, you can have them jump spots er w/e it is you are thinking. Also put preds on them that loop with a 2 second interval apponidle call in between the preds so they will appear for a couple seconds. Once you kill the bot you get what ever achievement it is you are wanting to give for it (i.e. a flag score or something). IDK just a thought.
