CTF Flag Timer
Version 1.2
by SpannerSpammer-[AoE]-
On wall in the respawns in the map
Dustbowl you will find a red decrementing health bar
representing the time remaining for the Attacking team to capture the Defending team's Headquarters...
FEATURES:
This plugin puts a decrementing health bar sprite on dropped CTF flags representing the time remaining
before the flag returns to its home position. A sound is played when the time remaining is less than 20% of
the total drop delay. The timer is destroyed when the flag returns or is picked up.
INSTALLATION:
1. Place the
ntf_bar.spr healthbar sprite file in your server's
tfc/sprites folder so players can download it.
2. Place the
TFC_Flagtimer.amxx file in your server's
amxmodx/plugins folder
3. Open the
plugins.ini file in the server's
amxmodx/configs folder and add this entry:
TFC_Flagtimer.amxx
4. If you are not using the default plugin CVAR setting, then add the CVAR to the
amxx.cfg file in the
the server's
amxmodx/configs folder.
CVARS: tfc_flagtimer
Settings:
0 = Feature Disabled.
1 = Flaginfo Team flags only. (only works on 2fort / push / rock2 style CTF maps)
2 = All CTF flags. (works on most CTF map types: 2fort / push / rock2 / dustbowl etc. )
3 = (default) All CTF flags + Server announces flag drop return time to all players.
NOTES: This feature ONLY works on CTF maps with flags that return after a delay when dropped (flagcarrier killed) or tossed.
This feature does NOT work on DM maps (no flags), or CTF maps where the flag returns immediately when dropped
(
murderball etc.) or Capture Point maps like
warpath (no actual flags).
TFC adds a delay (approximately 5 seconds for tossable flags) to the map's default flag return delay, during this delay
the flag's touch function is disabled and players cannot pick it up (players used to pick up and toss flags to noise/msg
spam server), the Flag Timer health bar does not decrement until the flag can picked up again and the true return
delay is in effect.
