I need a function that is tt compatible. I need it to do something when the scrum is dropped. I dont know if there is an ondrop function, but I need something similar.

Or if anyone knows a way to make the scrum stay on the tank until death, that would work. :)

Each tank has a getFlag() function that tells you if it has a flag or not. I suppose you could check that periodically to see if it changes. Not the best solution, but might work.

*the other part of the function here

%flag = %this.getflag();
if(%flag $= 0)
{
%client.tank.setdatablock(lighttank);
%tank.setprojectile(lightprojectile);
*rest of function here*

Like that?

BTW, how do you get the code box? It would be usefull for stuff like this...

Well, that depends what %this is in that function... If it's the player, then it will work.

The flag will return -1 if there is no flag. If there is a flag it will return the flag's ID number so it will be 6289 or some such.

                                        

                                        %flag = %client.player.getflag();

                                        if (%flag == -1) // <-- this means that the player does not have flag

                                        {

                                         %client.player.setdatablock(lighttank);

                                         %tank.setprojectile(lightprojectile);

                                         // * more function here*

                                        }

                                        if (%flag != -1) // <-- this means that the player has flag

                                        {

                                         // * more function here*

                                        }

                                        

                                        

PS: Try "pre" in []'s for a code block.

                                        if (%flag == -1)

                                        

Haha, that was my problem, I had

                                        

                                         if(%flag $= -1)

                                        

Thanks 56k. :)

I made a way to have an ondrop feature, it will be universal and not for a flag type (not like FlagData::OnDrop)
It will also only work if just one flag is on the field

                                        

                                        $Lastplayerwithflag = -1;

                                        Function checkfordrops()

                                        {

                                         %count = clientgroup.getCount();

                                         for ( %i = 0; %i < %count; %i++ )

                                         {

                                        %client = ClientGroup.getObject(%i);

                                         %flag = %client.player.getflag();

                                         if (%flag == -1 && isObject(%client.player))

                                         {

                                         if(%client == $LastPlayerWithFlag)

                                         {

                                         OnDrop(%client,%client.player);

                                         }

                                         }

                                         if (%flag != -1 && isObject(%client.player))

                                         {

                                         $LastPlayerWithFlag = %client;

                                         }

                                         }

                                         %count2 = botclientgroup.getCount();

                                         for ( %a = 0; %i < %count2; %a++ )

                                         {

                                        %client = BotClientGroup.getObject(%a);

                                         %flag = %client.player.getflag();

                                         if (%flag == -1 && isObject(%client.player))

                                         {

                                         if(%client == $LastPlayerWithFlag)

                                         {

                                         OnDrop(%client,%client.player);

                                         }

                                         }

                                         if (%flag != -1 && isObject(%client.player))

                                         {

                                         $LastPlayerWithFlag = %client;

                                         }

                                         }

                                         schedule(100,false,"checkfordrops",4,4);

                                        }

                                        checkfordrops();

                                        Function OnDrop(%client,%tank)

                                        {

                                         //code here!

                                        }

                                        

BTW: When the player has the flag, does %flag have the flag datablock the player has (like DefaultFlag)?

PS: I just noticed that on [ pre ] only the first line is not upper cased, can you fix this?
