Issue with flag return on players death.

[-SoF-Max 0]

I thought I had this set right but it just sits on a dead players body. East and West

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">expCond="HasflagW AND !(alive flagownerWflag)";

expActiv="EastFlagRun=false; Wflag setFlagOwner objNull; HasflagW=false; titletext[""The SLA flag was returned"",""Plain down""]";

class Effects

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">expCond="HasflagE AND !(alive flagownerEflag)";

expActiv="WestFlagRun=false; Eflag setFlagOwner objNull; HasflagE=false; titletext[""The US flag was returned"",""Plain down""]";

class Effects

Any suggestions?

well I have the will to help , I just lack the knowledge

I have opened up an OFP map and looked at a CTF script made by Karrilion, which has flag return included. Perhaps what you seek is in the script. I hope this helps. Of course, the names for my flag images will be different than yours...

Quote[/b] ];;CTF script by KaRRiLLioN

;;This selects the flag's name

;;Exec this from init.sqs like so:

;;[FlagW]exec "CTF.sqs"

;;do this for each flag

_flag = _this select 0

?(isnull _flag):goto "end"

;;The following simply sets the textures on the flags and can be

;;changed to whatever you want. You could actually

;;remove the ?(_flag==FlagW) and instead just put in

;;FlagW SetFlagTexture "\Flags\Nato.jpg and do the same

;;for each one.

?(_flag==FlagW):_flag setflagtexture "\Flags\Nato.jpg"

?(_flag==FlagE):_flag setflagtexture "\Flags\Ussr.jpg"

?(_flag==FlagR):_flag setflagtexture "\Flags\Pirates.jpg"

;;This just creates a name for when the flag is taken or

;;capped or dropped.

?(_flag==FlagW):_flagname="the NATO Flag"

?(_flag==FlagE):_flagname="the Soviet Flag"

?(_flag==FlagR):_flagname="the Resistance Flag"

;;This inits the flagside for each flag.

?(_flag==FlagW):_flag SetFlagSide WEST

?(_flag==FlagE):_flag SetFlagSide EAST

?(_flag==FlagR):_flag SetFlagSide RESISTANCE

;;this sets the flag owner to nobody

_flag setFlagOwner objNull

Goto "loop"

;;this increments the score by 1 point for whichever team

;;caps the flag. You can change the +1 to +5 or whatever

;;you want for a scoring method. The ?(local Server)

;;makes sure the score is only incremented by the server

;;so that it remains accurate.

;;if flagcarrier dies, this resets the flag immediately to the

;;flagpole. You can delay this by any time you want by

;;adding a value in seconds just before where it says

;;goto "FlagReturn"

#DeadHasFlag

;;~60 If you remove the

;; then the ~60 will delay the flag

;;returning to the flagpole by 60 seconds. I leave this off

;;because sometimes someone will try to cap a flag that

;;is on a body and not get there before 60 seconds and the

;;flag disappears on them.

Ah, reminds me of the original OFP days of working out BIS's CTF with bloody triggers. Gah!

That script Ziggy posted will work, but it's an old version of my CTF script. I've discovered a few bugs that happen with JIP so I'm gonna rejigger my script to account for those anomolies. I also have a newer version with dynamic variables.

That script will still work. Just place your flags on the map and follow the instructions in the comments of the script.
