winzone

Post by microbus »

Any way to make the winzone random for kill and win... so maybe
it kills 50% of the time, and let's you win 50% of the time?
In Arma Advanced that is :)

haha, I had this exact same idea.

Does the server output a message saying that win_zone_kills was changed? IRRC it doesn't, so this wouldn't be too dificult.

You mean it randomly becomes a win/death zone when it is spawned?

I recommend telling clients what kind of zone it is, as my modified zone rendering renders green win zones and red death zones. ;)

score_deathzone would be even better randomly

Code: Select all

score_deathzone 10
becomes

Code: Select all

score_deathzone 10
randomly instant match or large penalty although remaining players could get the same amount of points so mabey not so great

my server doesn't tell them whether it's win or kill....
lots of suggestions for either random, and/or making
the winzone worth less than a normal win... can't
find the code for that one either :? :o

are you asking what the score commands are?

score_die -> points you recieve when you die usually set to 0 or a negative number

score_kill -> points you get for core dumping someone

score_suicide -> points you recieve when you suicide usually set to 0 or a negative number

score_win -> points for being the last surviving player/team

limit_score -> Amount of points needed for a match

score_deathzone -> points gained/lost for hitting win/deathzone

win_zone_deaths -> set to 1 its a death zone, set to 0 its a win zone

*you can have the winzone take away points and the deathzone give points

Currently you can either have the win or death zone not both so i guess i didnt answer your question or help with your request

I'm not sure if it works for a winzone actually.
