[Gameplay] Freeze Tag Mode

(1/10) > >>

Joe:
Hi,

I think would be a fun mode to play in GE:S, so I'm going to try to make a mode script for it.

"Freeze Tag" mode is a team play elimination mode in which eliminated players can be resurrected by their team mates.

The latest version of this mode can be downloaded from here: http://forums.geshl2.com/index.php/board,139.0.html

major:
hmm I kinda like it.

Unfortunately we don't provide a way to "freeze" players using the Python API interface. You would have to combine the python code with a standard server plugin to provide the freezing effect.

You could accomplish this using server-side custom events to pass information across:

GEUtils.EmitGameplayEvent( ... )

Here is the wiki article: http://wiki.geshl2.com/index.php/GoldenEye:_Source_Plugin_Support#gameplay_event

Thanks for your help.

When players die in this mode I want the game to spawn an entity at the vector where they died so that their team mates can interact with this entity to trigger their resurrection. I would like the entity to use the victim's character model.

I've not seen a function in in the token manager class which can spawn a token entity at a given vector, so I've thought that tokens can only be spawned at spawn point entities.

I can see that there is a function in GEUtil which creates a temporary entity at a given vector ( CreateTempEnt(type,vector) ). I've got 2 questions about this function:
1) How is the created entity temporary? (or is a temporary entity a type of entity?)
2) How can a script reference an entity object which has been created by this function?
