No TKing
No TKing
uhh from my past experiences its very hard to go without shooting people in maps, especially crowded maps. I think that something should be done that altogether gets rid of tking (only if you want it though maybe a plugin?) but in some situations tking is hard to avoid, like if you are shooting someone and some guy that happens to be on your team gets in the way, or if someone spawns in between you and your target. or maybe your bullets go and after your kill, the leftover bullets ricochet into an unsuspecting teammate.
i know we all dont like it so, perhaps there could be a way where you choose to make bullets have no effect on others of the same team. i know some people may want to keep there tking, so thats why its optionall.
the only problem i see is that maybe this would allow for you to survive your own shots, which is not intended. so perhaps something could be done about that too.
this is just my idea, i done care if you hate it, so feel free to do so

Not being able to shoot/kill a team mate is in 3.0.0, IIRC.

Re: No TKing
Cool, version 3.0 seems like a cool bzversion. Now what is the code you put into notepad or whatever for your map where you turn off tk death?

Don't know where you got that information...you can still kill them. There are those little red indicators that say not to, but you still can.Bambino wrote:Not being able to shoot/kill a team mate is in 3.0.0, IIRC.
Re: No TKing
There is a way to toggle TKs in the server configuration for 2.99.x servers, supposedly.
Re: No TKing
You can thank JeffM for the feature (svn r13320)
from bzfs/CmdLineOptions.cxx:
P.S. looks like it hasn't been added to the exec help
from bzfs/CmdLineOptions.cxx:
Code: Select all
else if (token == "-noTeamKills") {
// forbid team kills
gameOptions |= int(NoTeamKills);
}
Re: No TKing
hmm is that the code? where do you insert it?

Re: No TKing
you don't, 2.0.x does not support the feature, it is a feature of 3.0
you enable it with the -noTeamKills command line option.
you enable it with the -noTeamKills command line option.

Re: No TKing
What exactly would that option do? Would your shots just go straight through teammates, or would they explode on them but not kill?
