Another play style

I'm sure this has been requested/suggested, but I think it would be nice to have Jail CTF.

Basically, the only difference is that there are four objects called "JailSpace [team]", and when you die, to go to jail.

To get out of jail, a teammate has to go through a small teleporter that is specially lableled in the .bzw.

I was thinking about trying to make a map that did that, but it seemed too complicated.

Sounds interesting.

Instead of a teleporter, you could just make a "JailFree [team]" object, and a team member just has to hop on it, and the members in jail respawn somewhere else.

when triggers are made you should easyly be able to do this.

You could trigger different links on the teleporter.
(and horizontal teleporters will be done before triggers)

that sounds interesting, but horribly complicated.

Round-based team games have been done before, but only in a timed fashion. Timed world weapons were used to control the flow of tanks out of a spawn area. With a plugin, I think that a more complex scheme could be worked out... but it'd be dependent on a map.

yeah, I remember a dodgeball type one once..a WW controlled people from leaving until it left, pretty cool. yeah, it seems plugins would kick butt on this issue..

sounds likeit could be quite boring if you got put in jail and you couldnt move... for ages so probably you would rejoin

Well, ideally, it would be set up so that newcomers would be "jailed" until the next round.

But yes, it could get boring on a large server when the rounds drag up. Or, maybe it could just liven up the chatting on the server.

Maybe you could have some windows of time during which a tank could escape if it was observant?

maybe every 3 min you can esacpe for 30 sec or something...
