Hi there,
I've had a look for the answer to this, but either it's not there or I've missed it.
Quite simply, how can you reduce the countdown time before a placed bomb explodes? I've got a standard objective to blow up and this all works, however I need the bomb to explode quicker to make the whole thing a little bit more playable.
Thanks in advance

You will have to make your own version of the global/obj_dm.scr script and change this variable--it's in pak0.pk3.
level.bomb_tick_time = 45
Your version of the script can be called anything you like, but make sure your script's "bomb_thinker" lines use the new script name. Place the script in a folder named global in your final pk3.

Tom Trude,
restart
I can't see how the two would be related. Does the restart problem go away if you change the bomb_thinker lines back? Please post your level script.
Tom Trude,
Okay, just tried that. Reset back to the orignal obj_dm and map restarts.
The whole map is at http://www.futurevisions.force9.co.uk/M ... forest.pk3 (if that helps). Its only my second map so it's not going to win any prizes
The only thing changed in obj_dm file was the timer to '25' and saved as forest.scr.

ok
Well, you didn't tell me the map was not Mohaa. For Spearhead and Breakthrough, you will have to use the obj_dm.scr script form one of those global folders to make your version of it--they are slightly different.
