this looks excellent, visually. and you've also made the ghost mechanic really good. i tried something like that with spookleus last year but got frustrated, finding that ghost-ified players basically stopped interacting with all map logic. great work on that front.
this sounds really fun.
this sounds really fun.
Spookleus is really cool haha, to get around ghosts not interacting with map logic, I added an output to all players that does stuff like shrinking them, giving them a dispencer, etc. I then created a system that checks players if they pass a filter, for example, passing condition 72 (or 73 idr) and to see if they're a ghost, and if it passes, it fires that output, giving them all the traits they need. There's more to it but thats p much the gyst!
Hahaha, yeah, what I did for that is I actually have a player destruction logic entity in the map, which has the unique feature of letting u use a custom .res file for the map. So I copied the hud info from arena over to it while adjusting the positioning a bit to make more sense and not get covered by the casual mode banner at the top. Sadly the numbers for tracking players dont work unless you have a logic_arena in your map (and I don't use one, since arena doesn't work in casual mode; i rebuilt the arena mode by hand with map logic) so i just used game_text for the living player counter
