how do you make an NPC in a duel map not count for the duel victory if one of the players kills that NPC? Or is it just not possible.
Yeah, I'd like to know how to prevent this too, because in my FFA map that I'm working on that has swoops, when you kill a swoop it counts towards your score.
and than people spam by sitting there and killing the swoops constatly and thus winning the map.....yeah very annoying is there like a Important=0 tag or something that makes a NPC not count towards your score?
I have worked with it some more and it seems like it cant be done..... is there a hidden tag I am messing or do I have to take this to a more deeper edit....SDK maby?
I guess it isnt possible....Wade if you read this do you know anything as to fix this little nanny of a problem?
There probably just needs to be a minor fix to the score giving code for duel modes.
could this be done thru the .veh and .npc files ?
yeah I can see.....there is nothing in there that conveys to that. Could it be done thru any other way without SDK...?
Otherwise I have a solution to it but it is not very good, I can make the vehicle invulnerable so you cant kill it but that kinda kills the fun of destroying the swoop that someone is riding on :(
Sure! All you'd have to do is a entity type check before giving out score for kills.
ok now not to sound stupid, but how would I do that ;)
Well, I'm not your tech support but I think it's somewhere in the G_death (I think that's the name) function.
sorry if my questions annoy you :(
It's not your fault, mostly. I've just been swamped by people who seem to think that I should do all their work for them instead of figuring it out for themselves.
believe me I am figuring myself I just ask around while I do it as to solve the problem faster ;)
also I do know how you feel I am one of the top modders in the C&C community I get questions all the time about the simplest of stuff and it gets very annoying....:(:( but I help them anyway as I also know how it is to come into something completely new (like JA mapping/modding) and not know anything. :D
