Create SpawnPoints attached to a new flag ?

[freddy]

that idea sounds good. i will put in some more toughts lol

the timetoliveafterdeath code, wreck gone in a blink this: http://bfmods.com/mdt/scripting/ObjectT ... Death.html
but you may already know that one

you could use eighter a deathbubble or manipulate the criticalDamage settings to get rid of the vehicle in a certain timelimit say perhaps 2 seconds and adjust the spawner to match the timings if you dont want to wait for the vehicle to fall and crash.

anyway happy coding and good luck

The deathbubble would save some coding for sure but a concern about that would be that vehicle wreckages from the deathbubble stick where they die so it would either instantly kill the vehicle spawns after the first one, or I will end up with so much wreckage that it would create server lag. Worth a shot thou and see what the results would be, can a death bubble kill a unmanned vehicle thou ? if yes how would that code look ?

[tekk]

Well I did the code and it works like a charm.

The downfall ..... Its a pain to code and tweak but then again what mod isnt lol

The spawn point in the in-game spawn menu blinks about 8sec but other than that a average player wouldnt notice.

This is how I did it, if anyone can think of a better way plz let me know.

Now I did mention that the code wouldnt be pretty but the method works for me on DC No Fly Zone lol

[freddy]

nice! it takes some trickering to get things to work ssm you may be right about the wrecks and deathbubbles so better use the method you have now, the way to get unmanned vehicles to take damage/healing from bubbles is to look them to a team

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle

edit: i dont know if its needed but if you want to get the jeeps destroyed easily you can crank up there speedmod some
