Enabling/disabling med-kits, nades, etc.

[Szaman]

Hi,

As HomerOfGods asked me to create suggestion thread here:

I think that in config file (and also in the scripting engine) there should be simple way to enable/disable med-kits, nades-boxes on the maps (the same functionality like with predator, etc.)

What do you think about that idea?

Best regards,
Szaman.

From what I know, cannot completely disable med-kits or nade boxes on the map.
Bonus frequency only applies to bonuses available in soldat.ini.

[Szaman]

Yeah - that's why my post is a suggestion of adding such functionality in the soldat.ini and in the script engine

[skrX]

Good idea.

Hi,

As HomerOfGods asked me to create suggestion thread here:

I love that part 

about your suggestion
F12
should be visible on /info then though

[Szaman]

Yeah - he closed my Mantis ticket And asked me for creating thread for each closed ticket So I did it

You mean like hide all the bonuses of that type when you disable it or disable spawning or what exactly?

[Szaman]

I think that Soldat should have as much flexible engine as it is possible.

So all options are good for me:
a) enable/disable spawning of the bonus (per type)
b) spawn mutiple/destroy (hide) all bonuses (per type)
c) modify speed of spawning of the bonuses (per type)
d) any other solution

I was originally suggesting option "A", but the rest of options are also interesting

If you set maximum granades to 0 there will be no nadekits, but if you want to spawn with some nades this won't help.
You can also modify the map, remove all nade spawns/medkit spawns, but I guess that's too much hassle

[Szaman]

Ok, of course, but I am talking about situations where you can:
a) manipulate with spawning of every possible bonus, so I recommend the way:

Code: [Select]

SetSpawnSpeed(0.5, 'Predator'); // half of normal spawn speed = double long time between spawns of the bonus
SpawnBonuses(10, 'Medkit'); // sprawn 10 medkits on the map
value := CountBonuses('Medkit'); // returns the number of currently available bonuses on the map
b) dynamically manipulate with those values during gameplay (for example: if the match lasts too long the script can disable the medkits or sth)

And the possibility of determining the duration of the bonus in givebonus.

But if on the map if they do not it will not be detected as a hack?

If you change the map and put it in your server, everyone will play the sanme map, so that's no hack at all.
