Title: New type of CTF map help needed Plz
Post by: Marshal on 03 May 2004, 11:08:36
Hi,

Im just starting to make a new kind of CTF or should I say a CTD/CTH and need a little help as Im a bit of a noobie when it comes to this type of thing.

My idea is to change from Capture the Flag to Capture the Documents or Hostage. It would make games much more realistic as Documents or Hostages could be placed in buildings or vehicles etc.

Now for a couple of questions...

1. How do I change the script so that documents/Hostages are placed instead of the usual flag and what script do I use so that a player can pick them up and score points by taking them back to base?

2. Anyone know where I can get a document/hostage addon or similar? How would I make a hostage stay at a location until released and also to follow the rescuer? He would obviously have to be invincible and return to his original place if the rescuer is shot and he is not picked up within 2 minutes.

3. I want each soldier to spawn with specific guns. The reason is so that I can dictate which players are snipers, Law Officers, Machine Gunners, etc etc. In other words, players can choose a specific kind of troop to play at the start of the game and that player will remain, say, a sniper for the duration of it. Would my best option be to just put ammo in the crates? Players would respawn with the same type of gun.

Any help is much appreciated.

If a staff member moves this to the MP board then you will have a much better reply to your post.. as this is MP related :)

Moderators and their beating sticks timeless...

Yah this should be moved to multiplayer, more on topic. Don't get frustarated cause still being new and making a multi player isn't a good mix, lotz of things can go wrong not to deter you. I've had bad experiences but that was before I knew OFPEC existed. ::)

Welcome to the forums, Marshal.

Could you please do me a big favour and only post your topic once, and on the appropriate board ;)
No need to have the same thread running around in more than one place...

Thanks mate.
