putting flags in a specific spot

Hey, I was wondering how, when making a map, do you choose to put some flags only in some spots and not others. like have a section of flags, geno here, sw there, and such.

You can do that. Im not sure how but i've seen it done where people have made a certain zone where only a certain flag can be obtained. Might be something in the Wiki..

You can use:

Code: Select all

zone
position 100 100 35
size 5 5 0
rotation 0
zoneflag G 5
end

to place 5 geno flags on a block at 100,100 that's in the air at 35m.

Of course, you have to make sure you have +fb in your options, or your flags wont be placed above ground.

Using "zoneflag G 5" makes sure at least that many flags are in the spot, at all times.

Using "flag" makes a zone where that flag may spawn.
If you have two zones and two flags, sometimes both flags will be in one zone.

also, if you use "flag" then make sure you have all those flags in the options section, like this:

+f G{2} +f SW{6} +f WG{8} and so on, where SW{8} will be spawning 8 SW flags across all the zones with that flag in them.

and if you have multiple zones with the same flag and you are using "flag" instead of zone flag, make sure there a re plenty of flags to go around!

I do recommend Zoneflag over the +f and Flag solution... it's more reliable. Take the old Missile Wars map for example. Flag resets were required because a team would run out of flags.
