Squad System

[Takka 13,376]

Curious if anyone thinks it possible to build a very basic squad system with SAPP lua.

 

I think for some maps it would be neat for teams to be able to vote on a Team Leader (any ally but themselves), where those that get selected get automatically respawned (to change their armor color to something that stands out), and all allies that die will respawn at existing spawn points closest to their Team Leader. That would make attacks more focused and create a high-value target, which when they die prevents all allies from respawning 'till they themselves do.

 

Could definitely build off of that base concept if it can be implemented, but don't want to get carried away in the details unless that much is possible.

 

Will credit 15 tickets to whoever can make this work!

I think it would be sweat for small maps. Team Leaders could also be given damage resistance, and after set intervals people are allowed to vote again on a leader.

 

Would be an interesting new dynamic for this ol' game.

Still needs some testing but here you go. There is some stuff you can customize to your liking.

Glorious! Maybe we can test this tomorrow. =]

This played awesome on larger KoTH maps!

 

Other than the voting issues, here's some more suggestions:

• Periodic revotes for leaders at a customizable interval, and not sure if it already does this, but of course revotes triggered for team leader if the leader leaves team (quits or changes team).
• Name of team's current squad leader persistent at base of screen like where the sprinting bar is on this script. Should do away with announcing the leader in main chat to avoid clutter if you can implement this.
• An announcement to all when a leader dies, such as "Red Team's leader is down!", and an extra kill point for being the murderer.
• Announcement when an entire squad has been wiped out at once (no one on opposite team is alive).
• Bottomless clip when near squad leader (no unlimited nades though), and maybe asterisks at either side of leader's name at bottom of screen to indicate when you're within such range?
