How are the properties of regions defined?

Basically im wondering where it states what a region does, is it somehow hard-wired into the game engine itself or is there a lua or odf file somewhere that does it. I know you can change what type a region is, such as death and landing, but i really would like to know if i can somehow change these or even create my own. Help would be very much apreciated.

Errr so anybody know anything about this. I'm guessing by the lack of posts that people truthfully have no idea.

it's hard-wired into the game's interpreter, nevertheless you can still do some crazy things. Try doing this:

OnEnterRegionName() <-- you can do pretty much anything with that. (Note: Name means you must specify the region's name in the second parameter.)

I don't know what you're trying so I don't know if it helps or not.

Ah, i had a feeling it wasn't that easy. I know that that line is scripting but what can u actually do with those because when i look in the tutorial it seems to be limited to what you actually can do. Never-the-less ill take a more thourough look at these, thanks for trying xwing'

what kind of region are you trying to recreate,

Yes, what do you want to make? Lua is a programming language. Inside the OnEnterRegion() function, you can do almost anything: create objects, move objects, play sounds, damage things, disable weapons, slow units down, give health, give ammo, get a user's name, take health away, become an enemy, print a message, create a file, do nothing, track something, change something, etc... Almost whatever you can think of.

hmm. anything, wow, someone told me i didnt have to do anything to the LUA to add a rumble region but i added one and nothing happened, I did change the class peramater, or what ever its called to rumble. Is there anything else?

I can't figure this out either. You apparently need an odf to go with it. I don't have a clue though on how to make it work.
