That's what I just changed

People can enter and leave the spawn as they wish....if they are first

does their class priority get bumped back to top when the others switch to a different class?

Well...

no

but that can easily be changed by putting in begin step


if limited = true
{
if instance_number(HeavyRed)<global.heavylimit
{   //or whatever the variable is,I forget
limited=false
}
}

This won't be on a weekday, will it? 

read OP, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. If you cannot play on any of those days, state that so then Snare can organize the schedule around that restriction

I've been saying this every other page and Psycho says it and someone finally tells me something, geez.

@Soup: It might help if you tell me your timezone

Normally I'm the one who gets ignored until someone repeats what I say :0

With 5 teams expect to have this done in 3 weeks, 6 teams expect 4 weeks (still long before finals).

The times will be 12-1 PST (3-4 EST) and 1-2 PST (4-5 EST) on Saturday and Sunday. Tell me now if you can't make any of these times before I start scheduling everything.

[beasta]

I can't do any weekdays for sure, but I can try.  I for sure can't do Thursday around 7:00 P.M. EST to 10:00 P.M. EST.

[Killah Zillah]

I'd definitely love to throw my hat into the ring! I dunno if I can make it on weekdays, but I'll defnitely try! If anyone needs a good Engie, Heavy, or Spy on their team, I'm available. Just send me a PM and I'll get back to you!

Saturday and Sunday are not weekdays.

Edit: Do you want me to add you to the LFG list Killah?

[Killah Zillah]

But it says that it'll be on Thursdays as well... if that's changed, you should probably update it.

Yes please!!

[Snare]

k, there's a good 7 people and 3/4th of a team on that list now. I'm sure everyone is expecting the other people to pm everyone, so maybe someone should step up and get a team together? You all still have a week to sign up.

[Killah Zillah]

Good point! I'll wait two days for someone to contact me before I start my own super faction of mega warriors!

[favicon guru]

I'll pm you if something comes up.

[I_am_awesome]

I have an idea.

Assign a variable in the character create object to check to see if there are too many e.g.

if instance_number(HeavyRed)>global.heavylimit
{   //or whatever the variable is,I forget
limited=true
}
and so in the collision with the team door

if limited=false{

//what ever the fuck the coding is here

}

Threre.

I already gave A/D a working mod that denies people to change to a class if the limit is reached.

Dunno if he actually looked at it though, since he doesn't reply.

[a/d]

I just saw it, wouldn't it have to check 10 things every time someone spawns though?

Since it's an organized tourney, we may as well just use class doors, since the only problem was on unorganized teams. If you get blocked in, being a competent enough player to have a team, you'd probably know to switch out.

PROS
- It's foolproof, it's literally impossible for more than the allowed number to be outside the spawn, assuming there's no spawns outside the spawn room.
- Server-side guaranteed
- Inconvenience minimal assuming competent team

(I gave up because I'm fat)

I'm experimenting with assigning variables to players when their character object is created, which I'm going to implement with doors instead of into the classchange scripts.

It assigns scouts scoutOrder, pyros pyroOrder, etc. and checks with any scout/pyro object whether there is one with scoutOrder of 1, if not, you become 1. If there's a 1 and no 2, you become 2.

If your scoutOrder etc. is greater than the class limit, you'll be unsafe, meaning spawn gates will block you.

If your scoutOrder is less than the class limit, you'll be safe, meaning spawn gates won't.

The only problem I can see with this so far is that dying will reset your order variable.
