cant spawn my team flags right....

[A Looney Kumquat]

hey all- got a little team flag problem on my map...

I cant make my team flags spawn in the GFPITS (great flag protecter in the sky ) they just always spawn on the bases...... I have "safety 1 2 3 4" working right now- and with some pyramids on the bases sends em running for the GFPITS.... but that wont work to well if someone spawns right away with the flag, then BAAAAADDDD things could happen

but I've tried both "flag B* R* G* P*" and "zoneflag B*,1 R*,1 G*,1 P*,1"

neither work...help!

Just a note, but zoneflag works like "zoneflag WG 1 G 3" versus "zoneflag WG,1 G,3". It uses spaces instead of commas.

I'm not quite clear what the problem is. You said the safety zones are working, so what exactly is the problem?

What A Looney Kumquat is trying to do is make it so the flag starts out at a remote location, not unlike Tedius's "Snipers' Paradise". We looked at that map file and saw that Tedius used safety in his zones for the team flags.

L4m3r mentioned that using zoneflag with a single flag makes the teamflag appear at that zone. Here's a working example:

Code: Select all

base
  color 1
  size 10 10 1
  position 0 0 0
  rotation 0
end

zone
  position 100 100 0
  size 10 10 10
  zoneflag R*
end

The red flag appears within the zone instead of at the base.

blast speaks the truth. Get rid of the commas and you'll probably be all set. I was testing something else when I was messing with the safety option.

Don't forget to have -fb enabled so that your flags can spawn on boxes.

ah- its working great... FYI, blast, the safety ISNT working perfectly, because that requires a pyramid on the base to send the flag, not unlike jumping over a pyramid and dropping a teamflag to reset it, but in this case, it only works some of the time, I need something that works ALL of the time, and thanks to you three it now works beautifully! thx all!
