allejo / shotlimitzone

A BZFlag plugin that allows you add shot limits to flags based on the location where they are picked up.

Shot Limit Zone

A BZFlag plugin that allows you add shot limits to flag based on the location of the flag. The difference between this plugin and the default BZFS -sl option is that by using the option, you are limiting all of the flags of the same type where with this plugin you will only limit the shot limit of a flag if grabbed from a specific area in the map. This plugin will not overwrite the -sl option.

Requirements

• BZFlag 2.4.4+

This plug-in follows my standard instructions for compiling plug-ins.

Usage

Loading the plug-in

This plug-in does not take any configuration options at load time.

Custom Map Objects

This plug-in introduces the SHOTLIMITZONE map object which supports the traditional position, size, and rotation attributes for rectangular objects and position, height, and radius for cylindrical objects.

Box

shotLimitZone
  position 0 0 0
  size 10 10 5
  rotation 0
  shotLimit 10
  flag SW
end

Cylinder

shotLimitZone
  position 0 0 0
  radius 15
  height 10
  shotLimit 10
  flag SW
end

Notes

• This custom zone will not actually spawn a SW flag, you will need to add a regular zone object to do so.
• The name ('shotLimitZone') of the object is case-insensitive so camel case is not required.

shotlimitzone's Issues

Use new bz_CustomZoneObject in the BZFS API

Make use of bz_CustomZoneObject in the API to bring better support for these zones.

Enhancement: Option to have shot limits applied to flags stolen by thief

An option of shotZoneLimits applying to specified flags which originate from the shotLimitZone, regardless if they are stolen would be nice.

Currently:
PlayerA grabs Laser from shotLimitZone with 5 shots set as limit.
PlayerA fires 4 rounds, leaving 1 shot remaining.
PlayerB steals PlayerA's Laser flag with Thief.
PlayerB has Laser flag with shot limits from server.

Enhancement
PlayerA grabs Laser from shotLimitZone with 5 shots and "thief" option added.
(Thief option causes limits to apply, even if the flag is stolen by thief.)
PlayerA fires 4 rounds, leaving 1 shot remaining.
PlayerB steals PlayerA's Laser flag with Thief.
PlayerB has Laser flag with 1 shot left.

Segfault

Segmentation fault occurs when a player holding a restriction flag and the opposing team captures the flag. Something to do with flag dropped event
