OnCap function for worldWeapons-ServerShots

I'd like if there was a function for triggering onCap world weapons.
So it would be possible to introduce a few new modes and to also be able to trigger them when using altered or enhanced CTF modes.
(Triggering onCap with flags/kill streaks/points..etc..)
Sample base with onCap world weapon:
Code: Select all
base
position 100 0 0
rotation 0
size 10 10 0
color 1
oncap SW
end

bz_triggerFlagCapture should already do that.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I checked for 'bz_triggerFlagCapture' with Notepad++ on bzfsAPI.h from BZFlag version 2.4.10 and didn't find it.
I'm probably doing something wrong, so could a little bit of help be given?

It may only be in 2.6

No it’s in the current 2.4.x, always check the current code.

Thanks JeffM.
I'll be using the latest API from now on.
bzfsAPI.h
Code: Select all
// game type info
BZF_API bz_eGameType bz_getGameType ( void );
BZF_API bool bz_triggerFlagCapture(int playerID, bz_eTeamType teamCapping, bz_eTeamType teamCapped);
2.4.12 or above is required to run any plug-in with the bz_triggerFlagCapture function.
I still have to see if it triggers world weapons though.

bz_triggerFlagCapture calls the internal bzfs function which is used whenever a flag capture happens regularly, meaning a flag capture event is fired. The onCap world weapons listen to the flag capture event, so unless the current code is broken, it'll trigger the world weapons.
Keep in mind, this function will destroy all of the tanks and modify team scores as dictated. It won't *just* fire off onCap world weapons.

Yeah it's intended to do ALL the capture things, in order to properly support custom capture conditions.
