Im spastic, please help

Recommended Posts

Hi, Im pretty new at making flashpoint maps, actually this is my first one. Here are a few questions I would like answered

(I want to make a map for online DeathMatch)

Ok I spent a while putting 32 different playable soldiers, snipers etc etc etc (east, west and resistance) on a map exactly where I want them "by testing each one", saved it as multiplayer, then when I goto make a server I get in there and I spawn, and if I get shot its the end and I dont respawn... so how do i make myself respawn at randomly one of the 32 places i put in?

How do I make a crate in with say 3 sniper rifles, rocket launcher, a few of this and that?

I would like to know how to make a boundry, so if people go outside it they die, or I would rather when someone goes outside the boundry a warning comes up, and if they dont go back in they start to die.

What is the max players for a FP server? with further updates will this # increase?

How can i make the dead bodies dissapear after they have been dead for a while.

How can I make it so I can see myself on the map when running around?

Everytime I choose this map, how can I have the option of how long it goes for. And when someone hits a certain score the maps finishes and that person wins.

Thanks your help will be much appreciated with any of these questions

ok i figured out how to respawn from a DM tutorial, but it spawns them randomly within a marker... this is what i used (i want to be able to make people respawn randomly at say 36 precise locations) I have east west and resistance.

Marker 1

Name: Respawn_West

Shape: Ellipse

X: 550

Y: 550

Colour: Blue

Fill: Horizontal

------------------------

Description.ext

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------

Respawn = “Baseâ€

RespawnDelay = 15

titleParam1 = "Time:";

valuesParam1[] = {10000, 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2700, 3600, 7200};

defValueParam1 = 1800;

textsParam1[] = {"Unlimited", "5 min", "10 min", "15 min", "20 min", "25 min", "30 min", "45 min", "1 hour", "2 hours"};

titleParam2 = "Score to win:";

valuesParam2[] = {10000, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30};

defValueParam2 = 5;

textsParam2[] = {"Unlimited", 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30};

dude, no offense but more then 36 players TOTAL, it's a useless effort. Face it: It's probably going to take 5 Years before we have hardware and bandwidth that can accomodate that realisticaly... Ever tried hosting a mission with 36 people playing? Even fast ethernet can't handle that kind of traffic! confused.gif

12 people teams will suffice to quash your PCs ressources plenty, espacially if you add mechanized mobility...

i realise this, so there are NO vehicles etc to make comp run slower. also making the map for a lan, so if 36 players wana join they can, better then having a 12 player DM and no more people can join

Was it really necessary to use the thread title that you did? Personally I find the use of that word in such a way offensive.
