Flag: RPG? (And short range and long range and slow reload)
I've been thinking about a flag that might not take much to do. It is simply a guided missile, with a shorter range, that explodes with a shockwave (small) at the moment of impact (or when it's range runs out)
It would be:
(RpG): This flag tracks targets, exploding in a blast radius. Short range
And that gives me an idea for a bad flag...
(Short range): Your shot range is halved.
And a good flag...
(Long Range):Your shot range is doubled.
and a bad flag...lol.
(SLow reload):It takes twice as long to reload.

Okay, you get a Bic, the orc gets a long sword.
He cuts the Bic in half.
Then he cuts you in half.
Oops, I meant quarters.

Similar ideas to the homing SW have been widely discussed and rejected in the past.
IIRC, long reload has been approved by Tim Riker - don't expect it any time soon. We already have short reload - it's Rapid Fire. Rapid Fire and Machine Gun already lower range.

EDIT: I see there is long reload, but there isnt simply half range as a bad flag

Most of these flags are the same thing or alredy exist. There is a formula used for shot range, speed and reload time. IIRC, it's shotSpeed*reloadTime=shotRange
Lower reload time means lowed shot range (rapid fire and machine gun). A long reload flag would be the same as a long range flag but you said one was good and the other was bad

I already figured that on a 100x100 map, you need 100,000 ww points, and because the shots are client side, not server side, and the server doesn't "know" actually where a bullet is. It knows shot and hit. And if you had the clients download the areas, a cheater would make them all go off every time a GM hit...

Actually, you don't have to place world weapons if you're going to use a plugin. The plugin can fire a world weapon where it wants.*Boinkage*! wrote:I already figured that on a 100x100 map, you need 100,000 ww points, and because the shots are client side, not server side, and the server doesn't "know" actually where a bullet is.

You are right that the server does not know for sure where the bullets end up. It does not keep a full shot state yet.
In regards to a cheater, they would not be able to trigger all of the world weapons. World weapons are processed and triggered by the server itself.

I mean that they could make the "hit" on a gm register all over the map.
A full shot state would laggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg(You get the point)[/b]
