Lua for new gamemode

cjdelta04 · 03-05-2009, 01:54 PM

I was wondering if it would be possible to make a lua for a gamemode like bombing run in Unreal Championship. Maybe you could use something from the murderball lua and capture the flag? I would also like to be able to make a "Bomb Gun" that is the only weapon you can have out while you have the bomb, and you can passes and what not to other players on your team. This would also allow you to shoot the bomb through the bomb target from a distance but you would get fewer points. So any help is appreciated.

One limitation in specific:

Currently, after an object is tossed, we cannot keep track of who tossed it (team or player) So the only way I can see to do your goals is to have it trigger when the object passes through it and award points to the opposite team, but you can't specify a specific player AFAIK.

Well it really wouldn't matter who threw it. Just what team did because only red could score on blue and vicew versa. and besides you are going for team points to win the game, not individual points. So it is possible then. Could someone help me out with this then because I think it would be a great new style of gaming for ff players looking for something new.

Actually, balls and flags don't currently work with triggers. You may be able to get the ball's position, and compare it to a certain range of coordinates to see if it's in your target zone. Keeping track of who had the ball last could be easily done.

Adding a new weapon is out of the scop of the lua system. However you could take the player's ammo away to keep him from shooting.

what if i were to use a white neutral flag as the ball and just use a cap point for each and change the amount of points u recieve for a cap? and what about being able to throw the flag into int to cap point. could that be done?

That would be just like push or waterpolo. It would be very easy to make a map like that.

Throwing the ball into the cap is an iffy proposition, as I explained above. We want to make that work properly in future.
