Some custom ctf help needed

[martijntje]

Sorry for the unuseful title.

I've been thinking of a new variant of ctf. In this variant only there is only one flag (enabled) at any time.

At the beginning of the match a neutral flag lies in the middle of the map, cappable by both teams.

Now lets say blu captures the flag, then
-the neutral flag dissapears.
-a team-colored flag apears in the capping teams base.

now the red team can capture that flag, but blu cant. (attack/defend)
if the flag is captured, the flag switches color and base. (also switching attack and defense)

the team that has last captured the flag when te timer runs out wins.

Now I already figured out how to make the flags switch and stuff, but the winning condition , I cant figure out.

My idea
-game doesnt end with three captures, how do I do that?
-capture of neatral flag is worth one point, all other captures are worth two points.

another solutions would be to decrease the other teams score to 0, when a flag is captured.

any ideas? (show you genius side)

p.s. I will upload a gametype library like this one:

Make a math_counter, set the maximum value to 3 and then use OnHitMax to end the game once it reaches 3. On the func_capturezone make it add a point to the math_counter when someone captures the flag.

Add one of each for red and one of each for blue.


Hope this works out for u

sorry, what I meant was:

How do I PREVENT the game from ending when three captures are made.

I'm tempted to say this is a bad win condition - no matter where you set the timer the game is going to feel uncomfortably long or short depending on peoples' patience.

The idea of keepaway CTF however is a fairly good one. You could try making the win condition possessing the intel uncontested for a certain length of time.
