TOW Objectives

[nuggets]

send me the .map!!!

yes i'm still alive, just depressed

[Jack Ruby]

I mailed you the .map

[nuggets]

i've got it, not cracked it, but i've got it, leave it with me!!!

[Jack Ruby]

Someone mentioned that there were " Unbalanced brackets in "What's left "

Maybe this might help

[nuggets]

/*don't b silly, no problems with brackets in my .scr's!!! it seems some1 4got to take out an undefined thread!!!

anyway... on a lighter note , it's 99% there!!!

Top Man Nuggets, sorry I cant be more help, nice one mate .

[nuggets]

check the setthreads on the triggers around the bombs

i've had 2 edit some of the lines in the objectives as they were too many characters

and if you really really want to make the bombs blow up each others spawn points i'll have to take apart a global script and create you a new one, there's only supposed 2 b 1 planting team and 1 defusing team

is TOW an option with SH??? i've also had 2 edit the code a bit so it will work the line
level.gametype = int ( getcvar ( g_gametype )) always returned NIL no matter what i was editing...

anyway play away mate

[Jack Ruby]

Nice one mate. Yeah TOW is a SH option, below I have pasted a script from an original Spearhead TOW map, the maps called Flughafen ( think it means airport in German) theres 3 switches that can change hands and theres also a bomb at each teams respawn, not sure if this will help you out any but I am sure it will give you some idea as to what they are doing with them spawn bombs,

// MP_Flughafen_TOW
// Note: For objective function calls TakeOver and SetCurrent the
// teams are as such:
// 0 = Axis
// 1 = Allies
// 2 = Neutral

Hope that helps man, I am gonna be busy for a couple weeks working on the Motorola website so if I dont make it back to speak much its just I am busy, I dont want to go to work

Again nice one Nuggets,

[Jack Ruby]

Nuggets, in the new map page, someone has made a new TOW map, sure you saw it if not heres what he has done,

OBJECTIVES: This IS a TOW map. There are NO-NO-NO spawn related bombs! There are five objectives, including each sides 'HQ'. IF one side can occupy the opposing teams HQ and 'flip' the switch, they are able to 'prevent' reinforcements/new spawns...they then need to find and eliminate the remaining enemy players while STILL controlling the 'HQ'. The HQ can be repeatedly liberated and lost throughout the game. More of a see-saw battle in which you MUST attack and you MUST defend.

Sounds good to me man, we could forget those stressful spawn bombs and turn them into objectives, what ya reckon ?

[Slyk]

Ruby----That map in your last post is MINE. I decided to do away with the 'auto' spawn elimination thing. In this new map each team needs to 'occupy' the enemy HQ building and as long as they control the 'switch' in that building, the other team cannot respawn. IF either team can 'liberate' their HQ, then they can flip the switch and turn on their spawners again. I suggest that you go and download my zip file with the pk3 in it. Open up the script and look at what I did. It works, to the best of my knowledge 100% of the time. I had issues like you mentioned before with respawn/end conditions in my 'Tractor Works TOW' map too. Another reason I took this latest plan of action with spawners.

IF you use my script pieces, please give due credit. Need more help, let me know. The zip is a BETA and is here: http://www.paonline.com/marconia/sos1.zip

Bad Jack!

[Jack Ruby]

Thanks for your help and the zip Slyk, you may just have saved my map from never getting finished. Nuggets will have to look at the script for me as I am a total idiot when it comes to script ( though I can do ok with flash actionscript ) hopefully one day that light will switch on in my head and I will be able to see how it all works clearly.
Rox, yes I am bad, bad at scripting

Its a great idea you had there Slyk so if you dont want me to impose on your script tell me to $%** off. If we use any of it ( even the idea ) your name will be proudly put on the loading screen

Thanks a lot mate, nice one

[nuggets]

not more work, i'm trying 2 get my own maps outta the way... strange objectives that have never been done b4, it's very basic mapping, i'm just pissing about with scripting it at the moment... if Wacko would do me the honours of remapping it, that'll be a new taster for u all

as far as that example script goes, it's not the easiest thing in the world when ur just reading it, without actually playtesting the map and see if it works while ur going, it's almost impossible to understand what bits doing what

i'll look back into it soon though, i'm trying my best, but as 4 now, ur script is working... if a taem can turn off the enemy spawners, they would need to of already had an advantage, thus turning the spawners off an even greater advantage... wouldn't this tun out to be the main aim of every1 in the map, thus making the rest of the objectives almost irrelevant until all enemy have been destroyed?

[Slyk]

You still have two play objectives. Depends on WHERE you set up the spawner controls. In my version you can win one of two ways:

FIRST: control all five objectives at the same time or
SECOND: capture and hold the enemy spawner and kill all the enemy players. This isn't as easy as it sounds as both spawner switches are in vulnerable positions.

Hopefully what it will do is force players to attack AND defend locations or atleast try to use teamwork to advance a 'line' of attack/defense. In my 'Streets of Stalingrad' map you will see how you can use terrain to hold a 'front' with teamwork, of course. That, to me, is where most people win and loose in TOW maps. IF they work together, they win a lot more of the time. It's all going to be in the map layout as to how easy the enemy spawner can be taken.

Another option is to have the enemy spawners automatically reset to 'ON' every 30 seconds after being triggered, that would force the other team to stay alive and continue to keep the switch 'OFF'.........hmmmm....

ABOUT MY SCRIPT... use it IF you give me the credit for the basic idea, and please wait until AFTER I release my 'SoS1' map. That should be in a couple days or less as I just did the 'Final' compile. I'm working out the farplane color now.

[nuggets]

nice idea about turning the spawn points back on after a set time, this could solve the problem where some maps will fall down, but it also leaves the map open to find snipers while in spectator mode, and then them becoming the prey, although this is possible anyway, it'll be what people do while they sit there unable to spawn for the set time

i haven't looked at the script yet, but i ahve got the basic fundamentals of using the spawn point to each teams advantage

as i said in my previous thread, i have lots of work 2 do at the moment, without including actual real work or college, so 4 know i'll have 2 put it on the burner

if u wanna take up the challenge of finishing the script then i'll appreciate it more than [coo=red]Jack Ruby[/color] will
