That is the perfect use for the GG then. This same strategy is involved in Living Daylights. You carry the flag whose only use is to deny other players from scoring (while increasing yours). It's a fundamental part of competitive gameplay.  :-)

I really like the idea of the GG eating your gold reserve, will have to add a python callback for when you fire a shot though (currently only have one for when a shot hits). Although we could just do it so you have unlimited GG bullets, but when one hits (and kills obviously) then you lose GOLD.

Mangley:
Would it be possible to change ammunition types of other weapons to Golden Bullets?

IIRC correctly Auric Goldfinger had a Golden revolver... perhaps you could have tiered Golden guns? If for instance a Golden skin was made for the Cougar and you could change the bullet types you could do this:

Tier 1: Golden Gun
Tier 2: Golden Magnum
Tier 3: Golden PP7

Perhaps based on your score? Or how many people you've killed? I don't know, just a thought really.

VC:
Feel free to add that callback support, it may be useful in the future.  However, the scenario designer is becoming quite worried at what will happen to GES servers when people with a text editor get carried away like this so easily, though he is flattered that an idea that popped into his head while jogging gathered so much attention.

Seriously, though: I'm not going to publish my drafts anymore.  A scrap of notebook paper will do fine as a reminder to myself of what I was thinking about henceforth.

Mangley:
Sorry VC  :-X

You excite us too much...

killermonkey:
The feedback is crucial though because you aren't the only one who is going to be playing the gameplay. And yes, anyone can edit our scenarios, but a big fat (CUSTOM) tag will be emblazoned on it with even one addition of a space or new line.
