BZ_PLUGIN(tagGame)

This done within 40 lines of code and creates a very simple game mode. It can be extended or adapted into a minimalist version of Zombies, HumansVsZombies or even Rabbit Hunt/Chase.

Or even simply switch the death event to allowCap, check if it is a proper cap, deny the cap, reset the team flag, modify team(s) scores and play audio for flag capture. The result is a version of CTF without players dying on cap. (And you just need to remove the flag give on spawning.)

I hope to see some inspired to try to extend or modify this, as this basic form can be easily adapted to mostly any game mode.
