Simply changing skins, or remembering the last team you were on.

WattaTweest · 10-18-2009, 06:51 AM

Working on a game mode similar to Push, but I'd like the ball carrier to switch to a different team once they pick the ball up, so either team could attack them, and once they're killed, or drop the ball, they revert back to their original team. I'm no good at LUA, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

murderball?

Sounds more like he wants to make a Tag gamemode, where the ball makes you it.

Similar to murderball, but there are still capture points rather then the whole hold onto the ball as long as you can. The reason I want the team to change is I want teammates and enemies be able to push them with rockets/concs/pipes because once they pick up the ball, they lose all their grenades/ammo and their walk speed is reduced. It's gonna be a mainly soldier/demo/scout map.

It's possible. I'll try to write the code for it in a bit.

Wait, what?

The point of changing the ball carrier's team is so that people can push him? People can push him no matter what team he's on.

A little more explanation of exactly what you want the lua to do would help.

EDIT: If you're good enough to write the lua to change someones speed/remove weapons when they get the ball, then here are the functions you need to do what you want:

Code:

-- to keep track of the old team, store the value of this somewhere
player:GetTeamId()

-- to change a players team without them respawning
ApplyToPlayer( player, { AT.kChangeTeamYellow } )

You'll have to use if then checks for each possible team when switching back to the old team.

If I read into your last post incorrectly and you need help with most/all of the lua, I can help you, but I do need some sort of clarification of what it is you want.

I know 0 LUA

I've read over some of the includes, and it looks like I might be able to get SOME of the basics down, but framework would be really helpful.

The basic rules, 2 teams on either side of a giant box have to run to a ball in the middle. The person who picks up the ball I'd like to change teams so they can be "pushed" so to speak by concs/grenades/rockets, but STILL take damage from them. If possible, I want them to be slowed down, but also have the damage they take from attacks reduced by about 75% (or whatever works best after playtesting)

At both sides of the box, there are capture points for opposing teams. The main objective is to push the carrier into the enemies side of the box and get them to the capture point. The reason I'd also like it to be a different team is because if you're defending, I want it to be possible to push an enemy carrier back into enemy territory.

Probably gonna get hated on a bit for this, but I basically took the idea from Red vs. Blue. They refer to it as Grifball.
