Coop Survival "Respawn Timers"

#1

Post by Munch11 » Sat Aug 17, 2013 4:25 am

Hey, hopefully this is the right board for this sort of thread.

Me and my buddies are a huge fan of Coop Survival (particularly in combination with Brutal Doom) but are a bit disappointed that in terms of lives, we can only ever give ourselves either infinite lives or a finite number.

That being said, We figured that adding 'respawn timers' during which at least one player has to stay alive until the others spawn would be a nice alternative to the current setup. I figured it would be fairly simple to implement something like this, but I'm not sure where to start.

Has this already been implemented by somebody? If not, how would I go about programming a mod that implements this? Thanks!

you could make an ACS screit thar runs upon respawn, that freeze the player for the desired amount of time.

If you use modcvars, then you can make the time setable by the host.
