 Registered Member #1336 Joined: Tue Jul 25 2006Location: Netherlands (Rotterdam) Posts: 267 | I came up with this question yesterday when playing on the hardmaps TR2 server. The objective was to distroy 2 enemy helicopters at the last waypoint. However as soon as we got there, 2 'team' mates jumped into those 2 helis and flyed away so we could not finish the last objective of the game. Luckly 1 of them came back and when he left the heli I took it and crashed it into a tree (since friendly fire is off blowing the heli didn't work anymore). However, guy number 2 went far away with our last remaining objective and it didn't seem he was planning to distroy the heli  I took our one of our own black hawks and followed him all around the map, tried to crash into him in order to end the map but he escaped me each time. The map took forever because this guy was simply point hunting by killing any remaining (or respawning) enemy using our last objective  So my question after this map was: is it possible to avoid peole flying in helicopters that need to be distroyed to complete the map? Or in case that is not possible, does anyone has a WAC script to blow up those helis about 30 seconds after someone starts flying away with it? Because it really can take forever if somebody doesn't read the objectives and doesn't listen when people say he needs to crash it. | ||

But as Hardazz stated, please keep tabs on the names of the offenders. If we get another report on the same guys from another sourse we will track them down and ban them. | ||

Anyway, this map is a good map to see how many people actually read the objectives and waypoints. The last waypoint (with these helis that need to be distroyed) is far away from the rest of the map so you won't see it on your spinmap. Lots of people stay behind because they don't see the last objective on their map and don't use waypoints. Same happens in HmS Freedom TR, many people can't find the last waypoints here because it's to far away and they don't use the waypoints. Anyway I'm making a map myself and I don't want people to fly away with the objective. I found out how to make it explode. It's nice because the person who tried to fly in it also dies, however it does distroy the heli and trying to fly the heli will complete the objective. So I prefer to make it impossible to get in the heli at all. I tried the disablessn command I saw in one of the sticky posts, but you could still get into the heli, it just made it impossible to fly with it. But since you can get in, the heli gets yours and you can no longer blow it with friendly fire turned off. And since the heli didn't move, it doesn't explode by itself after some time. No chance to crash it either since it won't move. So that makes it impossible to finish the map if someone tries to fly in it. So is there a way to fully disable somebody getting in? Or if not, is it possible to give the heli back to the rebel team after the person got out so you can blow it again? If not I'll have to do the exploding trick, but I prefer you either have to shoot or blow it in order to complete the objective. [ Edited Wed Jul 18 2007 ] | ||

Now you can sathel the hidden com dish and it will blow the heli, even if someone is inside and friendly fire is off. | ||

There are 4 different messages that tell the player thehello was booby trapped, using a variable it doesnt matter which hello the player goes too first [ Edited Fri Jul 20 2007 ] | ||

I'm not goint to moan over them being hard, actually I wish they were even harder. Some of the maps can be finished as single player without dying more then you would in multiplayer, like Fortress Assault and Return to Base. So feel free to make them even harder, in some maps when there are like 12 players it goes so fast. If you are a rifleman and have to sathel a com dish you can never reach your team again because they already reached the finish before you can sathel 4 communication dishes at the first waypoint. I like having more BTRs patrolling around, if maps are harder players might stick more together as a team because they won't survive otherwise. So continue making it harder, people who don't like hard maps should not come to the hardmaps server  | ||

We hear it ALL THE TIME!! Paricularly, there has been alot of whining and moaning this month, and no I'm not directing that to posts on our website. You should see some of the whining moaning emails that we get complaining that the maps are just too hard, the servers are lagging, it seems like it's one long complaint after another.   As to some being too easy, well I guess we just can't win. I think our mapmakers do a really nice job of giving us a mix of maps. Some that play really well, laid out well, and without too many respawners, then they will give us in the next map a trenched in situation where you have to fight wave upon wave of bgs. Not all maps will be everyone's favorite, but our mapmakers try really hard and put lots of thought into trying to provide a diverse product that most will enjoy. In any of these maps, if you stick together and work as a team, you will enjoy yourself more. I find that even in the maps that I hate to see come up in the rotation, if I play with my m8ies they go just fine. A little frustrating at times, but still fun!!   Now, we've gotten off topic  . Let's leave the discussion here to the mapmakers.   [ Edited Fri Jul 20 2007 ] | ||
