Great Scripting Idea [Need a Scripter]
« on: April 16, 2010, 11:05:06 pm »
I have a great idea altough i am not a scripter and i only tried once to script and thats when i setup my own dedicated server i am pretty bad at it...

So i have a phew ideas that wil be very nice addition to every map for example : Trenchwar and Climbing.

~First of all i got this idea from a guy that posted in the suggestion board so many thanks to him.

I will start with a small example i create a Small Trenchwar map it has a house on the background with a door.
when you are infront of the door (we use the same code as in Avarax hes script to identifie the player is between those coordinats) on the screen there apears in lettered text "press /enter to go inside"  this wil then teleport the player to another coordinat in the map for example the inside of the house.
The inside of the house also has a door wich will then say "press /enter to go outside".
Please keep in mind there should be a 5-10 second penalty to leave a house or go inside one so people cannot cheat with the system.

What the script should be able to do.

-Detect if a player is in an area to enter or leave a house/door.
-It should be easy configurable.
-It should be map sided so that different maps can have different teleports.
-It should have a 5-10 second Penalty so players cant cheat.
-It should have different types of doors for example :
*Alpha Only. "or any team"
*Flag Holder Can or Cannot enter.
*Only if Low on Health.
*Only if no weapon is or is not equiped.


Imagine what we can do with this :

-Advanced Teleporting systems.
-Advanced Trenchwar maps with Hospitals and Weapon Rooms.
-Ingame/Inmap Waiting Rooms.

handy for :

Climbing,Trenchwar,Zombie Mode,Mission Mode etc...

I don't understand
do you mean that there is a /faceplam commmand ?
and this command should drop a random item ?

Don't be sad.

Actually, the idea isn't bad, but it'll would affect the gameplay too much.. May be used for some little submode.

But actually these much settings for the teleporters would require freakin much work since you would have
to make all settings manually, like getting the XY of the teleporters, setting what players can use it, ect.

Not only as Swompie said up there, but also, there is no way to "enter" a scenery. To do that house/hospital stuff, you would need to have all maps modified, so you could teleport to the new polys (which are in the modified map).

Like..

Player passes by a house-scenery. He presses /enter.
He is teleported to a house-poly-place, which has to be created by some mapper.

I don't know if you got my point, but, good idea though :)

That idea is really cool.
I WOULD do it by myself, but I'm busy with another (zombie) script, sorry :(

This idea sounds amazing to me, it can't be that hard to make it work.
I know we have alot of skilled and bored scripters out there, come on! :p

It is possible, but like I said in my post it will be extremely complex when you want much possibilities and options for the teleporters.

Some map information with the door positions will be needed for each map then, not ?
