Changing color of World Wepon

I don't know if this has ben documented or not... but I have tested it and
if you add "color" to the world weapon stuff in a bzflag map and then have the
ctf team color number. You can change the color of the world weapon.
like have:
color 1
for red ww.
i only tested this with SW
for you who don't know here is the way the color works
1 = red
2 = green
3 = blue
4 = purple
these might not work exactly documented here... but i think i got it the
right way...
Code: Select all
weapon
name red_sw
position 0 0 0
rotation 0
initdelay 0
delay 2 2 2
type SW
color 1
end
that should give you a red sw
I posted this for the intention of helping Louman for his latest map H2O
thinking he didn't really know about this and i thought that the sw needed
a different color.

I tried your code, very interesting. Just for the heck of it, I plugged some other values in to see what would happen, got a couple of other colors, plus the default yellow rogue color.

hey, is this prehaps a sign that the code is there for two new teams in future versions of BZFlag?

no it would be just one because the last one will be observer i think

the last would be observer, and the blue would be when you are at a replay server. Nice screenie ogre

IIRC, 5 is obs, 6 is rabbit, and 7 is hunter.
...and thanks, I've always wanted to know how to do this...

Now for a couple questions that have probably puzzled us all...
Why is there a bolt named "observer_bolt" ?
Can observers shoot?
If not, why is it there?

Heh , maybe make it so when you are roaming as an observer , you can shoot bullets and jump as well , instead of just driving around.

No need to jump, you can control height and direction of view.
You're right, we need a new topic for this.

Not many posts for 2 days in here, so i thought ide say nice discovery on the
other colors.
I never did know about this... im gona experiment with trying to add a
specific color to the world wepon.
Ill edit the post here and put my results.
If i can get a specific color, ill just try to get the sw to go rainbow to.
This way we can save the devs some question answering in the IRC..
Results can be expected soon (probably not today
)
