Flags not changeable in serverside mod
Flags not changeable in serverside mod
In some maps in DC Final, certain flags are not changeable, for example Tobruk axis base. I have tried changing this several different ways and none seem to work. Is this something that is not possible SSM?

Re: Flags not changeable in serverside mod
Tell us exactly how you want to change them and we might help you from there.
See my Strasbourg map project here.
Re: Flags not changeable in serverside mod
Perhaps I didn't word that correctly. The Axis flag in Tobruk is owned by Axis and is not "takeable". When playing the game you cannot change the flag to Allied (US flag). I want the flag to be "capturable" or whatever is the correct term.

Sorry, I don't do SSM. Just CSM.MegaloDon wrote:Anybody?
But I can take a guess, perhaps it will work.
Suppose the flag's name is "AxisMainBase". So you can try using this code in the "ControlPointTemplates.con" file:
ObjectTemplate.Active AxisMainBase
rem ObjectTemplate.timeToGetControl 9999
rem ObjectTemplate.timeToLoseControl 9999
ObjectTemplate.timeToGetControl 15
ObjectTemplate.timeToLoseControl 15
Notice how I added "rem" to the GetControl and LoseControl lines that have 9999 as the time. That's because the 9999 makes the time infinite, meaning the base can't be captured. You can just delete the "remmed out" lines.
Also, make sure you put the lines in the directory of the correct game mode.

Re: Flags not changeable in serverside mod
Which game play mode is this being modded for? TDM or Conquest? In either modes, you will not be able to change flag ownership or it's capacity of being captured without making a client-side patch.
Sorry Swaffy, don't think your method works if you ment it as being a SSM.

Re: Flags not changeable in serverside mod
Ok this is for a coop server.
Here is the original code:
This is what I changed it to:
Notice I changed "ObjectTemplate.unableToChangeTeam 1" to 0 among other things.
After making the changes, when you go near the flag the enemy bots do not spawn there as long as you stand there, but the flag does not change.
It appears as though it may not be possible unless someone knows a trick to get around it.
The problem is that after you capture all the other flags, everyone just hangs out at the enemy base and spawn camps until the tickets finally drop. It's like shooting fish in a barrell and gets kinda boring.
I appreciate the response though.

Re: Flags not changeable in serverside mod
Ok I figured it out. Unfortunately I had to sacrifice another flag (controlpoint) to do it. I disabled the axis control point and then moved another control point to where the axis control point was. I also had to change the spawnpoints associated to that control point to the axis base. If anyone is interested in the code I can post it. Also if anyone knows a better way that doesn't involve sacrificing an existing control point that would be nice. I don't think it's possible to create new control points SSM.
Re: Flags not changeable in serverside mod
I have this same problem, but CSM! It is a completely redone version of BATTLEAXE, which I now call Battlebox. I made a small, handguns-only map with bot suport. The weirdest thing is that I can't get the FLAGPOLE for the Axis base to simply show! The American/British side is there and is capturable, but not the Axis main flag. What is this black magic?MegaloDon wrote:Ok I figured it out. Unfortunately I had to sacrifice another flag (controlpoint) to do it.

So, instead of making a new thread, I'll ask for help here.
First off, I used the main flag for the Axis and British main bases to make this map. Reason I did that was because I didn't know anything about map-making and AI at that time. This was my first map, and it acted as my "guinea pig" for map-making related experiments. But this is its final form. What might be my problem?
Look for "GermanFlag" when comparing code.

Re: Flags not changeable in serverside mod
Is it in your ControlPoints.con?
Also you need to make sure SoldierSpawns.con, SoldierSpawnTemplates.con, and spawnPointManagerSettings.con are set up properly for that control point.
SoldierSpawnTemplates.con: "ObjectTemplate.setGroup 3" must match ControlPointTemplates.con: "ObjectTemplate.spawnGroupId 3".
Also ObjectSpawns.con: "object.setosid 3" must match ControlPointTemplates.con: "ObjectTemplate.objectSpawnerId 3" for vehicles.
If you want to post the code for the other files I can look at it.
