Universal CPs

[[RDH]Zerted]

Can anyone think of a way to have any team spawn from one CP (one spawn path)?

I've got a deathmatch mode working, but when every unit is attacking every other unit, no one can spawn anywhere. I figured out a way around it in instant action battles, but the fix doesn't as good in multyplayr battles.

You mean it doesnt work because the CPs are captured and you can't spawn from a "neutral" cp?

I'm a little confused by your post but I think I get what you're trying to say. A "free for all death match" is impossible (I think) but you can do team death match because only one team can spawn at a command post. What I recommend you do is spread out all the spawn nodes across the map which will enhance the feel of a death match.

That's all XL is --- Team Deathmatch.

Yeah but with loads of units.

You can't have two factions share a single cp but you can do this:

Use conquest mode and set reinforcments to -1 (only way to end match is by timer) and skip the capture regions,

Go to the the points script and set points so all kills are worth 1. (-1 added to kill score is inevitable.)

Set spawn points so cps parallel each other.

The inevitable problem for this FFA: if more than one person spawns at the same point, kinda kills even a remotely safe respawn.

This way, you avoid having to match ended by a team's score.

...A "free for all death match" is impossible...

Nope, I already have a free for all death match. You can kill anyone, and the AI kills everyone too. Everyone shows up as red. Even your own mines blow you up.

The problem I am having is when the teams are all set as enemies, for some reason units don't respawn after they die. I can get around this by settings the teams back to normal when a human dies, thus all the AI bots will respawn. But if you're a good player, and you can kill all the bots, they won't come back because you never died. This turns it into a last man standing mode, which is not what I'm trying to do.

Currently I'm trying a different way around the problem using timers, but I haven't gotten it working yet. It would be easier if a CP could be set to respawn units of any team.

Edit: I finally got my timers working. I had them out of scope...
