Heyyy
I wanted to know, does a plugin that allows to have 2 captures to win on ctf maps AND to have to win a different number than 2 rounds to win on arena (for example) exist?
Cuz If you want a server with only 2 ctf (Luke's server  ) to force people to defend, you have to win only 2 rounds on arena
If there isn't, is it possible to create?
Thx

I'm not sure if you mean combine Arena and CTF with best of 3 rounds, either by Arena or 2-cap CTF conditions, which would kinda be like Sudden Death mode in CTF like on TF2 servers sometimes.

Not much of a coder myself (the extent of my GM ability is semi-significant editing of the pacman and shooter demo games from way back in versions 5/6, plus sub-par GML ability), but skimming through the source file makes me think that you'd have to do this either as a hard mod or an addon that incorporates both CTF and Arena conditions.

To be honest though the game would probably just devolve to uber camping plus a few infils to pick off Leeroys (that or autogun spam which is annoying as hell)

Wait, I'm not sure what you're asking. Wouldn't you just change hat stuff in the .ini?

I think I got it, you want the number of captures in CTF mode to be different from the number of winning rounds in Arena mode, right?

I guess checking the game mode and changing the cap limit accordingly should work.
It should be quick to do, around 30 minutes at most, but I have absolutely no time right now, sorry.

YEAAH that's it

Hum so, someone would create this plugin?
Thanks

yb, you take this one. i feel lazy right now

Prrft, ok

Code: [Select]

global.capLimits_ctf = 2;
global.capLimits_arena = 4;

object_event_add(PlayerControl, ev_step, ev_step_begin, '
    if(global.isHost) {
        if(instance_exists(ArenaHUD)) {
            global.caplimit = global.capLimits_arena;
        } else if(instance_exists(ScorePanel)) {
            global.caplimit = global.capLimits_ctf;
        }
    }
');

There must be a way to make it better, executing this when entering a new room only, instead of every step, for instance.

make sure you resync the caplimit to the clients every time

edit: also you need to make the caplimit set back to default when you arent in ctf or arena dude. (i totally did not wait for you to make such mistakes so i could call you out on it  )

[Sparky]

Thanks ! 

[notarctic]

Thanks ! 

did you completely ignore the bugs i pointed out just now!?

[[FR]YB]

Actually the cap limit only affects ctf and arena, if I recall correctly.
Also, I did test it before posting the code, and it looks like the cap limit is changed on the server before updating clients. So it looks like there's no additional sync needed.
I'll fix it if you find out, after using it, that it's needed, but at the moment there is no need to.

Oh, i didnt read what you said, i dont use plugin , i asked it for Lucky Luke's server, and anyways, didnt understand what you said

hmmm, i dont host a lot so i probably wont be the one to hunt down the bug for you

have you tried looking at the roomchangeobserver object?
