Moving Deathzones. How?

[INW]

I've always wondered what the xml syntax is for creating a moving deathzone back and forth between two points.

[XzL.Smart]

This is how I did it on my server.

Code: Select all

SPAWN_ZONE death L 192 272 250 272 Z 10 0 10 10 false .8 .3 .6

Between the L and Z are the coordinates that it will move between. (x1 y1), (x2 y2), etc... Then, I believe, it's zone size, growth, movement speed, something, interactive(true or false), Red, Green, Blue.

thanks man, I'll work on it for a great map.

You'll find details about that here:

Where do I put that line? Do I put

Code: Select all

SPAWN_ZONE

in the map xml? Something like this?

Code: Select all

<Settings>
		<SPAWN_ZONE death L 180 -520 220 -520 Z 10 0 10 10 false .8 .3 .6>
	</Settings>

[Wik]

<Settings>
<Setting name="spawn_zone" value="death L 180 -520 220 -520 Z 10 0 10 10 false .8 .3 .6 0"/>
</Settings>

The zone might not show when the countdown reaches 0, in this case you can try combining it with delay_command, like

<Setting name="delay_command" value="r0 0 spawn_zone death L 180 -520 220 -520 Z 10 0 10 10 false .8 .3 .6 0"/>

The starting coordinates of spawn_zone do not care about your size_factor, afair. And for unknown reason <Settings> is parsed twice, giving you two zones per command (but probably looking like one). (is this fixed now? @ devs)

the way i do them on ctwf is, mostly what wik said, but no need for the r1 also puts them at 1 secound before start so that people can see them before the round starts.

Code: Select all

<Setting name="DELAY_COMMAND" value="-1 SPAWN_ZONE death L 180 -520 220 -520 Z 10 0 10 10 false .8 .3 .6"/>
