startrektng74 0 Posted March 2, 2006 i made my ctf based on the template that comes with the flashpoint game. i have a small problem though. wen the flag is dropped by a player it will not respawn it stays where it was dropped. i know there is a way to get it to respawn after a certian amout of time. i dont know how though. can anyone help me here. i just need the command / code / script that makes the flag respawn after its been dropped. im guessing its a trigger but what do i tell this trigger to do?

startrektng74 0 Posted March 7, 2006 ok an update. i have been going through this template i got from the Zeus ppl. they have a pack of templates on the website. here is the website to get the templates: http://www.ofp-zeus.com/ they are in the downloads section and made by Pimmelorus i found this in one of the scripts #FlagReturn ?(local Server):ZEUS_WFlagRun = true;PublicVariable "ZEUS_WFlagRun" ZEUS_WFlagInSafezone = false Wflag SetFlagSide WEST Wflag setFlagOwner objNull hint format ["West's Flag \n has been returned"] Goto "start" #FlagReturn ?(local Server):ZEUS_EFlagrun = true; PublicVariable "ZEUS_EFlagrun" ZEUS_EFlagInSafezone = false EFlag SetFlagSide East hint format ["East's Flag \n has been returned"] EFlag setFlagOwner objNull  --- how do i use this. i mean i could prolly find a way to make this into a script but where would i exec it at. a trigger? and if in a trigger what would bee the command line. [this] exec "scriptsname.sqs"? the reason i can not use the templates is cause of all the things im NOT supposed to change in them. an this ctf mission is for a GI Joe vs Cobra mission. so you can see i would need to change lots of things like the score names from east to cobra an west to gi joe an so on. can someone plz help me with this?

So just change the messages. What's there, like 4 different messages to change, briefing and maybe make two flag textures if you like. Just DON'T touch the variable names (like westscore, eastscore etc), only messages like TitleText["West scores!","PLAIN"], change to TitleText["TeamX scores!","PLAIN"].
