Arena VScript v0.9

As close to the "real thing" as possible, but with extra whistles

VScript implementation of Arena that strives to appear as "real" as possible.
I worked hard on ironing out any "jank" like dying when trying to switch class, will talk in depth for v1.0.

Optional extra features:

• Mini-rounds. A single full round will play until any team wins 5 mini-rounds. The amount of mini-rounds is configurable and can be set to 1 to disable this feature.
• Multi-point support. If your map has several points, all of them need to be captured in order to win.
• On-capture respawn. If enabled, players will get resurrected when any point is captured.
• Death countdown. If enabled, the points will unlock when a certain configurable percentage of players is dead. Can be used with or without the timer, which is also configurable.
• Last Mann Standing. The last remaining player on their team will receive buffs. The amount of players and the list of buffs is configurable.
• First Blood. Duration can be configured. 0 disables this feature entirely.

Hammer IO Triggered by the gamemode:

• Any func_door named arena_start* will act as a setup gate.
• Any logic_relay named arena_reset* will trigger when setup starts.
• Any logic_relay named arena_start* will trigger when setup ends.
• Any logic_relay named arena_unlock* will trigger when the point unlocks.
• Any logic_relay named arena_end_any* will trigger when a mini-round ends.
• Any logic_relay named arena_end_red* will trigger when RED win a mini-round.
• Any logic_relay named arena_end_blu* will trigger when BLU win a mini-round.
• Any logic_relay named arena_end_stalemate* will trigger when everyone loses a mini-round.

Notes:

• You do NOT need tf_logic_arena entity, but you DO need team_control_point_master.
• It's recommended to place `func_respawnroom`s. The script will automatically toggle them on and off when appropriate.
• The script handles point ownership, point state and victory conditions automatically.
• If you don't see the Custom Arena HUD, don't panic - you just need to pack it into your map or launch TF2 with -insecure.
• After the Halloween Rush I'll simplify/compact the script a bit and add a few announcer voice lines. Other than that this version is mostly final.

Installation:
- Unzip the archive into tf/custom. You'll end up with something like Team Fortress 2 > tf > custom > arena_vscript > scripts > vscripts > arena_vscript > arena_vscript.nut

- In Hammer, create a logic_script entity and set its Entity Script parameter to arena_vscript/arena_vscript.nut.
