Quote: _class.gsc _globallogic.gsc _teams.gsc are good places to start learning how it works anywhere it sets their team (player.pers["team"] or player.sessionteam etc) you need to make it switch to zombies if they have died once or more (player.deaths) or, find the playerkilled callback and make it stick them on zombies every time and have something which stops people reconnecting and spawning as a hunter a lot of us have already done scripting for this, i'd say about 5 separate people if you really are serious about making your own, you need to get your head down and find out how stock gametypes work Wait a second. Do you mean that the scrips that make hunters go zombie when they die etc are made in several scripts? :/ np sniper

I doubt that's needed. It can probably all be done in one single gametype script. NovemberDobby simply stated to look int those .gsc files to see how things work. In your gametype .gsc file you'll have to check how often someone died (player.deaths), and then, when they die again, base the respawn side on that fact. You will also have to make something for connecting players (look in for the onPlayerConnecting() function in the _teams.gsc file?) and then make it so they won't spawn into an existing game. Making gametyes is ALOT of work and will require alot of knowledge about scripting. And patience.. alot of patience. And figuring things out for yourself.

I find the word 'death' only once in 'teamdeathmatch'. Not in the rest of the document at all. I did found it in _globallogic: Quote: setXenonRanks( winner ) { players = level.players; for ( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ ) { player = players; if( !isdefined(player.score) \|\| !isdefined(player.pers["team"]) ) continue; } for ( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ ) { player = players; if( !isdefined(player.score) \|\| !isdefined(player.pers["team"]) ) continue; setPlayerTeamRank( player, i, player.score - 5 * player.deaths ); player logString( "team: score " + player.pers["team"] + ":" + player.score ); } sendranks(); } So I just have to edit this in that way that as soon as the hunter dies he respawns as zombie? edited on Dec. 15, 2007 12:48 pm by DaveR

he said you can use player.deaths, not that player.deaths is already in there...it's now slightly more than search and replace i'm afraid

If that's true I'll be waiting for the tools so i can see how it's done in other zombie mods. Since CoD2 isn't the same I guess.

How will the tools let you look at other zombie mods? Even if you get your hands on a serverside fast file/IWD (which I somehow doubt people give out), you'll still need a basic understanding of scripts to find out how it works.

I'll just check the difference between the stock files and the modded i think. Unless someone else has a look at it, I don't think I'm able to finish this since I really don't know what everything does. I understand some bits but not everything. I'm able to edit scripts a bit but I'm still learning and I can't make my own. Making a custom gametyp isn't too hard for good scripters I guess but I have to start somewhere. So can someone else plz have a look at it? I know what to edit/add but I don't know how.
