Objective Carrier

IdNotFound · Post by **IdNotFound** » Sun Apr 04, 2004 6:54 pm

Who remembers mp_beach in RtCW? When the Allies win, it showed the (!) (objective indicator) next to the player name on the scores screen. If you pay attention, we don't have that in ET. When a round on et_beach (that's where I noticed) or radar ends, the (!) goes away.

Wouldn't it be nice to stay there, so you know who accomplished the objective?

Just wondering...

I also think you should get XP for picking up an objective or just securing it.

Wouldn't that be up to the script that the map maker uses when the player with the objective reaches the proximity trigger?

yeah it would be nice for some xp for those sort of things but either way it is still fun to play even if ya dont get the xp for securing it. At least ya can grag about it at the end of the map....lol

how about an award/medal for completing specific objects like the radar parts? is that possible?

that would be a cool idea as well, sort of like a small list of objectives that were completed by you or a number such as 3of 7 objectives completed.

It'd be a bad idea to apply that to dynamite objectives because then we get the defuse + plant routine...

I've actually been TKed with the parts on radar right at the truck, only to watch said TKer pick up the parts, move them the final five feet to the truck, then attempt to claim all the credit.

No sense in giving stupid XP whores incentive to lower their standards even further.

Giving XP for it is nice.
But indeed people could start abusing it.

would it be at all possible to have the objective icon show up on the command map with the carrier? for your own team only of course.

Hmmm any feedbacks about this objective carrier icon on the scores screen? Is it really only mapscript dependant ?

Because it would also be cool if a TNT showed up for the engineer that blows the objective
