General Questions - Warping with Flag? TheOne - Wed Sep 07, 2005 2:47 pm Post subject: Warping with Flag?
I don't know if this would be a bot thing or a settings thing...
How can you make it where when someone warps when they've got a flag, the flag resets (like in CTF)?

umm...
probably make a bot where if you have 1 flag +, and u use a warp, or portal.. w/e...then it neuts/drops automatically

IIRC, you can *shipreset someone to take away their flags. I guess you could also *setship twice or something.

Watch out with that, theres a setting that kicks them if they change ships too much

yes
Anyway there's no way to tell when a player warps or uses a portal. The way MG does it is it records your position. If the change in position is greater than some tolerance, say 50 tiles, chances are you've warped. That's why if you warp in MG with the flag near your base, and spawn close to where you warped from, you don't lose your flag.

If the ship cannot have cloaking, if the player's warp/uncloak image flag is set, then you know that they had to have warped/portaled. If are a cloaker, can check vs a threshold distance.
