Adding map things

[ivantis]

ok, thats not a descriptive subject, but i want to know how to add variables to maps. like this chopped from a map example on the wiki:

Code: Select all

<Zone effect="death">
            <ShapeCircle radius="20" growth="0.17">
                ...
            </ShapeCircle>
        </Zone>

how do i add things to it in the game, and where would they be located? im focusing on zones, so im guessing tron/gWinZone.h/.cpp. for example, like this:

Code: Select all

<Zone effect="death">
            <ShapeCircle variable="value" radius="20" growth="0.17">
                ...
            </ShapeCircle>
        </Zone>

i have already figured out from studying source and tested how to add in-game commands, but not map things.

hmm, i don't know if thats possible, but maybe you could try making a bunch of different maps then just switching them out when you want to?


only way I can't think to do anything like that.....

if you have a basic map with random win or something like in the client host game options, to change it to a death zone use the code:

Code: Select all

win_zone_deaths 1

hope that helps.....maybe someone with more knowledge of the game can help further...

no, you dont get it. i mean adding code hacks so that other variable fields will do things if they are in a map

[Crazy]

no, i got it, i just don't know how, so i posted alternatives
