1. After the first person joins a team battle mode game how do you force the rest to be on the opposet team? If the team has to be set to green (or blue) for the first person that would work.
2.How do you make them change teams when they get hit by the other team?

I think 187 or some one less has done something close to #1 where you force them on a certen team in team battle mode.

"Hit" is collision, am I correct? The awnser to your first question is that there are a bunch of ways to do that, the simplest yould be to set a variable once someone joins and then make the team changing stuff inside the "onAdd" functions. The game doesn't track collisions the way stock TGE does, so there's no clear awnser to your second question since I don't know enough about ThinkTanks' code to say anything "real" about this. The simplest way would be to make the player shoot an extremely close range weapon (not that hard to make, just track their team and then load the apropriate weapon onto them) Just my first few thoughts on the discrussion.

My God, Jaj Jr. Is alive! ;) Good to see ya! I have some code for your questions ßomber, but Art Crazy© would seriously kill me if I gave it to you!

Yes, I did mean "hit". Could you be of more detail on the first question. Like what the code (script) would be that I put in the.mis file. And how would I go about making that kind of wepond for the second question?

You're asking as an "expert modder", right? If you were an expert modder that awnser should be enough - :P I'll do a quick script/tutorial (I love writing tutorials lol) since I "noticed" that you dont "seem" to know that much about modding :)

~Jaj Jr~

The Questions were to an expert not from an expert. You could say I only knw the basics to modding like if you were to tell me a script I would put it in the.mis file and all. I used to know how to make terrains with TGE demo, but couldn't get skins on them. I have no idea how you guys make up your own scripts. I don't know any thing about C++. Yep thats it, I'm sure you know much more.

@bomber- do you mean like in the survivor server, where everyone starts out as blue and once killed you change to green? Speaking of which, where is the survivor server? I miss that game sooooooooooo much. As for your question B, I don't know about all that stuff either. I, too, am a simple modder and skin maker but that's all.ck

Oh chineseknife The surviver mod is screwed right now! I'd say computer crashing or something and I tried to email -Z- and/or danmacdonald. I wonder whee they are? Come out come out I have a question for you! 8o :[

We want Survivor, We want Survivor, We want Survivor!

Red rover
Red rover
Let Survivor come over

One a penny
Two a penny
a sixpence of rye
I wanna playa
Survivor game-a
Pocket full of stones.

XD

*weirded out*

Warfare-got kids? Then u'll understand!:)

I dont but I want that son of a gun to put surviver back up!

Let us play Surviver! Let us play Surviver! Let us play Surviver!

Let's all e-mail danmac and -z- a gazillion times about it XD ;) just kidding; but it would be nice to play survivor again. If I knew how to set one up I would host one, but alas, I do not. :( ck

Chineseknife Lets do it skrew their computer and when it does get fixed they will answer our questions!

Here's how to do 2, just copy the following code to a.cs file:

function TankData::onDestroyed(%db,%this,%killer)
{
if(!$pref::Server::SurvivorMode = 1)
{
if ($Game::SinglePlayer)
{
%db.onSPDestroyed(%this,%killer);
return;
}
if ($Game::TargetRange)
{
%db.onTargetDestroyed(%this,%killer);
return;
}

// need to deal with both ai bots and players as killer's and killee's

%client = %this.client;
%client.deaths++;

// echo("killed tank: " @ %this @ ", client: " @ %client);
// echo("killer tank: " @ %killer @ ", client: " @ %killerClient);
if (isObject(%killer))
{
messageAll('MsgClientKilled','%1 has been blown up by %2!',%client.name,%killer.client.name);
if ($Game::MissionType $= "Deathmatch")
{
// this is a score...
if ($Game::TeamGame)
{
if (%killer.client.team.getId() != %client.team.getId())
%killer.incScore(1,1);
%client.team=%killer.client.team;
MessageAll('MsgClientDrop',"",%client.nameBase, %client);
MessageAll('MsgClientJoin',"",%client.nameBase,%client,%client.team,%client.cumScore,0,0,0);
}
else
%killer.incScore(1,1);
}
%killer.client.kills++;
}
else
{
messageAll('MsgClientKilled','%1 is checking out the afterlife!',%client.name);
}

If ($Game::MissionType $= "Deathmatch")
{
if ($Game::TeamGame)
{
if (isObject(%killer) && %killer.client.team.getId() $= %client.team.getId())
// team killer, lose point
%this.incScore(-1,-1);
else
%this.incScore(-1,0);
}
else
%this.incScore(-1,-1);
}
if (!isObject(%client.ai))
{
if ($Game::aiControlMode)
{
%client.player = 0;
%client.schedule(4000,"spawnPlayer");
}
else
commandToClient(%client,'CenterPrint',"You have lost your noggin, press SPACE, and we will gladly find it.", 0, 1 );
}
else
spawnBotPlayer(%client);
}
}

If it's not a teamkill, the killed should go to the team of the killer.

And to make everyone go green or blue, here's a Dash Code to do it:

Function teamchangerall(%sender,%team)
{
if(!ClientIsAdmin(%sender,"team-changer command failed you are not admin"))
return;
if($pref::Server::TeamChangers != 1)
{
schedule(1000,false,"CommandToClient", %sender,'BottomPrint', "Team Changing is disabled",4,4);
return;
}
$len = clientgroup.getCount();
for(%i=0; %i<$len; %i++)
{
%client = clientgroup.getObject(%i);
if(%client != -1)
%client.teamchanger(%team);
}
return;

}

Add the following to the codeAction function (towards the bottom):

else if (%code $= "/ab" )
call("teamchangerall",%sender,"BlueTeam");
else if (%code $= "/ag" )
call("teamchangerall",%sender,"GreenTeam");
else if (%code $= "/ar" )
call("teamchangerall",%sender,"RedTeam");

/ab turns all players blue, /ag turns them green and /ar makes them red. Admin-only.
