Tutorial on Custom Supply Bags

[Doughnut-4|4-]

[Edit]
This tutorial goes out to Kam whom told me where the endless supply of LUA references were located:
FortressForever\maps\includes

Here is a sample of what to put in your LUA:

blue_bagcustom = genericbackpack:new({ 
	health = 100,
	armor = 300,
	grenades = 0,
	bullets = 300,
	nails = 300,
	rockets = 300,
	cells = 100,
	detpacks = 0,
	gren1 = 0,
	gren2 = 0,
	respawntime = 5,
	model = "models/items/backpack/backpack.mdl",
	materializesound = "Item.Materialize",
	touchsound = "Backpack.Touch",
	notallowedmsg = "#FF_NOTALLOWEDPACK",
	touchflags = {AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kBlue}
})

Just dump that in your map.LUA and edit the numbers and/or team colors and you're set. My maps coming soon!

I don't even understand your question.

"...the Lua command for team bags."

Um, what? So, are you wanting to make bags for certain teams?

Then set the "touch" flag to make it only available for that team.

touchflags = {AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kRed}

Here's what I got that's not working... It's late and I'm really starting to miss the old Hammer entities. I don't know how to edit your code... I want my tabs back damn it.

blue_bagcustom = genericbackpack:new({
health = 100,
armor = 300,
bullets = 300,
nails = 300,
shells = 300,
rockets = 50,
cells = 50,
model = "models/items/backpack/backpack.mdl",
materializesound = "Item.Materialize",
touchsound = "Backpack.Touch",
touchflags = {AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kBlue}
})

And are you including base_teamplay?

[Doughnut-4|4-]

This maybe a stupid question but why would I need "base_teamplay" when I got "base_ctf". Thanks for the help. I need sleep, but I'll post tomorrow if that doesn't fix all my troubles.

[trepid_jesse]

I didn't know you were using base_ctf, and base_teamplay contains the genericbackpack you're using.

So, no, you don't need to explicitly include base_teamplay being that base_ctf does it for you.

I was up all night trying to figure out LUAs for supply bags, and after countless hours I failed. So umm... please help so I can release my map. I know someone has to know how to make custom bags. Are LUAs so difficult I can't even make a baggie? Frustration does not begin to describe my state. Thanks for whatever help you give.

[Doughnut-4|4-]

Thanks Kam! I got it working with help. Tutorial posted in first post for anyone who cares.

its better you make your bags neutral and create a red_ and blue_ by duplicating the bag and changing the touchflags with a lua bagname:new({touchflags = {Allow.....}})
