Assassination gametype script

[Rookie One.pl]

Hi,

I've written the assassination script for Mj and I thought it might be useful for other people too, so I decided to post it.

You can download it here.

A sample modified version of Aligers is included. Basically you just need a trigger_multiple (or more than one - any number will work ) with the targetname of $vip_extraction_point and set a few variables in your map script.

Enjoy!

Well done mate! I like it. Also like the fact that you can define what player model to use, this makes it usefull for all sorts of fun things to do for eg; protect the player carrying the beer barrel, or protect Santa so he can make his deliveries etc .... LOL Sorry my twisted mind is rampant this morning... Nice work mate, the boys in my clan will like a map or two runningn under this mode I'm sure.
Speaking of modes, how do you define the gametype, I mean I know how to define obj, tow etc etc.. I'm talking about the gametype displayed in All Seeing Eye, I have seen some displayed as Training, Freeztag etc etc.. Is that just a cvar setting?

Cool thanks Mefy, u da man!

Er Rookie,
I have tried to get your script working in SH using banhof as a baase map, I have done it in roundbased mode and set the gametype to obj. All starts to work ok until it gets to this part of your script. I added some println's to get an idea on what values it was generating.

else
{
//if (level.as_debug != 1)
level waittill roundstart
local.num = 1
for (local.i = 1; local.i <= $player.size; local.i++)
{
$player[local.i].isthevip = NIL
if ($player[local.i].dmteam == level.as_vipteam)
{
local.vipteamplayers[local.num] = $player[local.i]
local.num++
}
}
local.randnum = randomint(local.vipteamplayers.size) + 1
local.vipteamplayers[local.randnum] thread vip_control
for (local.i = 1; local.i <= $vip_extraction_point.size; local.i++)
$vip_extraction_point[local.i] thread vip_extraction_control

println "------------------------/zz/-------------------------"
println "local.randnum = " local.randnum
println "local.vipteamplayers.size = " local.vipteamplayers.size
println "$vip_extraction_point.size = " $vip_extraction_point.size
println "------------------------/zz/-------------------------"

}

The error in the log is this; Note the value of local.vipteamplayers.size

That's what happens if there are no players on the VIP team and you are using level.as_debug = 1 or comment out level waittill roundstart. If you're alone, join the VIP team, pick a weapon and do a restart.

@Green Beret: the VIP is picked randomly from the VIP team players.

<EDIT>I've just noticed the vipteamplayers.size value. I have no idea what happens! It's just impossible... The initial value is 1 and then it can only be increased! If it's OK with you, could you post the whole script? And make sure that you did not comment level waittill spawn!</EDIT>

Rookie One:
I've converted your Assassination gametype into an addon for my Extended-Gametypes MOD. What you do is install the addon pk3 onto the server along with version 1.2.2 of my mod and then set "g_extgametype" to "as" to start Assassination mode. It's set up for all of the dm maps except mohdm5 (Posse set it up for dm1, 2, 3, 4, & 6).

I've posted it here:

I've also written a tutorial on how to create an addon gametype (which uses the Assassination addon as an example) here:
