New play style ? ( dodgeball like)

[Winny]

maybe almost like dodgeball?

so, for example, the rules would go:

1) there are 2 teams of tanks, each can only go onto one side of the map (maybe distroyed by a ww if they go on the other side?)

2) once the game starts, you start to fire at the other team, if you hit a tank, they are down, or can't spawn until the "medic" tank comes to touch them, or shoot them, or something.

3) if a "medic" tank is shot, that medic lisecine goes to the other team, who will them have 3 medics. (each game starts with 2 on each team), if there are no "medic" tanks left on one team, if you are shot, you are down for the count (or until your team gains another medic back)

4) if all the members of your team are down, the other team wins.

I think this would be a cool style of play, but good for matches, not for regular games, because of the people constantly leaving and coming

I don't know... im not a dev

[Discovery]

lol ok...

[Mostly Harmless!]

The canter line could be an invisible, shoot-through wall. I don't have any ideas for the rest.

[Discovery]

ya that would work!

[person1]

Sounds cool. The rest would no doubt need to be modifications to the game. Like the capture the flag mode that already exists. I would like to start with game dev, but I have never done major programming outside web dev.

Uh, dodgeball has been done, sort of. a shoot-through wall divides the map, and tanks spawn inside of a WW-controlled gate that only opens at the beginning of each "round".

Add a plugin to control the weapons and scoring, and you're set.

1) how would the medic be determined?
2)as l4 said, this has already been done. I soooo want to see that dodgeball map up again.

there are two spawn zones, one for each team, it is blocked by a laser that, every 30 seconds turnes of for 7 seconds, it is called 'jail'. if you die you go to jail until the end of the round. a round is 30 seconds each and every time a SW WW is fired it means newround

the xy position of the baces, and the fact that's it's a jumping map are the only things simlar.

hey I said I have my own dodgeball map,the map is just named dodgeball.

Dodgeball sounds neat but would it work for Windows, Macs, and Linux?

[dango]

yes... duh... bzflag is a multi-platform game, isn't it...?

[Winny]

d-u-h

[DJ Atomica]

...or can't spawn until the "medic" tank comes to touch them, or shoot them...

HAHA! How would a medic "heal" the tank by shooting it?

[Winny]

bullets can be programmed to do more.....

[tw1sted]

this sounds awsome. i would love to have it up on the public list. anyway, good luck with developing it...
