and it'll be like an insane battlefield with grenades and diff weapons and stuff, but uhm, can u guys clue me in if the triggers are wrong and if they are correct suggest a different method? Is my Concept Correct? Thanks, i really appreciate the assistance.

i've never played oddball but i think i understand what it is. Its sort of like capture the flag except theres only 1 flag and you hold onto it instead of taking it home to get points right?



you need a "remove oddball at location skull" trigger here

and i'm assuming that there is another trigger that adds 1 deathcount as long as the player has the oddball.

another problem you might have is the whole deathcount stuff.... how is any1 going to know if they're about to win or now. just make it a custom score thing and make a leaderboard.

and if you have hypertriggers... getting 260 points will take only like 10 seconds

well sort of but the point of capture the flag is to get it to ur base and score in this it's a FREE FOR ALL Deathmatch to gain 2:00 minutes with the ball

????


Yeah its like the 2nd trigger, look at it, is it good?



uhm for the counter? is my trigger good or no?
and if you have hypertriggers... getting 260 points will take only like 10 seconds[quote]
yes theres a deathcounter trigger
for the timer, can someone suggest me a way to do that?
rofl can someone tell me how many deathcounters to equal the time of 2:00 minutes

about the timmer thing what you could do is make a leaderboard like i said or if u wana make it all cool you could use the actualy timer.

maby this will work

A:

Current Player Brings Atleast 1 'Master Chief' (or watever) to 'Skull'
'Add Time' is Cleared

C:

Set 'Add Time'
Create 1 'Flag' at Location 'Has the Skull!'
Add 1 Deathcounter for Current Player
Preserve Trigger
Set 'set time'
__________________________

A:

'set time' is set
current player brings atleast 1 flag to Has the Skull!

C:

subtract 1 deathcount for current player
set countdown timer add 1 second
preserve trigger
__________________________

A:
'set time' is set
current player brings atleast 1 flag to Has the Skull!
current player's deathscore is exactly 0

C:
clear 'set time'
preserve trigger

--
then when the player with the oddball dies you set another switch which we will just call 'died'
--

A:
'died' is set
current player brings atleast 1 flag to Has the Skull!
countdown timer is at least 1 seconds

C:
add 1 deathcount for current player
set countdown timer subtrace 1 second
preserve trigger
__________________________

A:
'died' is set
current player brings atleast 1 flag to Has the Skull!
countdown timer is exactly 0 seconds

C:
clear 'died'
clear 'add time'
__________________________

instead of adding points to the deathcount while they have the ball you instead add seconds to the countdown timer. The deathcount will just serve as a way to save that player's time while they dont have the ball.



if this is the trigger that adds points it wont work

you need something else like

A:

'add time' is set

c:

add 1 deathcound for current player

alright thx, just to clarify, when u 'CLEAR' a switch u want it to Stop Doing wat its doing? and when u 'SET" a Switch u want it to Kick into Action?

yes usualy that is the case. But if u want to you can have it do something with its cleared and nothing when its set.... all switches start off as cleared though

thx RISHIN

ADDITION:
uhm i have another Q, when ppl die i want them to Respawn to a Certain Location(between 3 locations)(in 5 seconds) with no one in it (so no one spawn camps)

i beleive this would be the trigger

C:
Current Player Brings Exactly 0 Units to 'Battefield'
'Alive' is Set

A:
Set 'Dead'
Clear 'Alive'

C:
'Dead' is Set
Enemy Brings atleast 1 Unit to 'First Respawn Point'

A:
Set 'Dont Spawn at First Respawn Point'

C:
Enemy Brings Atleast 1 Unit to 2nd Respawn Point
'Dont Spawn at First Respawn Point is Set'

C:
Set 'Dont Spawn at 2nd Respawn Point'

'Dead' is Set
Enemy Brings Exactly 0 Units to 'Third Respawn Point'

A:
Clear 'Dead'
Set 'Alive'
Create 1 Marine at Third 'Respawn Point'

-.- i think you've gone a bit too crazy with the switches.

The alive and dead switchs arn't needed

C:

current player brings exactly 0 unit to battlefield
All players brings exactly 0 unit to 1st spawn

A:

Create 1 unit at 1st spawn for current player
preserve trigger

__________

C:

current player brings exactly 0 unit to battlefield
All players brings exactly 0 unit to 2nd spawn

A:

Create 1 unit at 2nd spawn for current player
preserve trigger
__________

C:

current player brings exactly 0 unit to battlefield
All players brings exactly 0 unit to 3rd spawn

A:

Create 1 unit at 3rd spawn for current player
preserve trigger
__________

your triggers should work but what i put is all you really need.

but wont it create like 1 unit per spawn? i want it to create just 1 unit, with the triggers u gave me it will make 1 unit per spawn

no, the triggers don't all fire at the same time. The first will fire if the conditions are true then the 2nd, then the 3rd. So if the 1st fires then that player will already have a unit making the conditions for the 2nd and 3rd triggers false.

oh okay i got it rishin,and btw how many Deathcounters are for 2:00 minutes?

Try somewhere in the high thousands to BEGIN with, then just keep testing it out.

well... i made a map a while ago where it adds 1 constantly to use score. So i loaded that up and it was about 10 points every second (very acurate eh? ) so try 1200

k thx

ADDITION:
r these triggers good for Centering locations between diff units?
In the game u get to choose weapons placed thruout the battlefield *u pick em up*

C:

Current Player Brings Atleast 1 (smg) to Battlefield
Current Player Brings Exactly 0 (sniper) to Battlefield
Current Player Brings Exactly 0 (Pistol) to Battlefield
ETC for all the Weapons.....

A:

Center Location Labed 'P1' on (smg) for Current Player
Preserve Trigger

______________

C:

Current Player Brings Exactly 0 (smg) to Battlefield
Current Player Brings Atleast 1 (sniper) to Battlefield
Current Player Brings Exactly 0 (Pistol) to Battlefield
ETC for all the Weapons...

A:

Center Location Labeled 'P1' on (smg) for Current Player
Preserve Trigger

-------------------------------

NOTE : i meant to put 'Player 1' in place of 'Current Player'

do you really need all of those bring 0 to locations? the players will only have 1 unit right? But ya that would work

lol k thanks,



well u see ppl can switch there weapons

but they will still only have 1 unit at all times

yep well i did all the triggesr u displayed above, im going to start beta testing, if i have any problems that me and hamma cant figure out ill ask here thx rishin
