Add more Capturing time?

Flake · Post by **Flake** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:24 am

Hey! Little question: I create a map with great towns. Each of them should be have a big capturing region.
So I think it is important to give more capturing time.

I don't know how to do this! Some ideas Gametoast?

thanx!

Check the CP settings in Zeroeditor? There might be one for capture time.

There isn't, it's not an Instance Property. I'm trying find the easiest way to do this as I speak. I'm probably going to suggest using a short Lua SetProperty or SetClassProperty command.

Try changing these lines in com_bldg_controlzone.odf.

NeutralizeTime = 12.0
CaptureTime = 10.0

The odf is in data_ABC\Common\odfs.

Well yeah, but that wouldn't do anything without making a custom ingame.lvl with the new edited ODF if. I've got to go, but later I'll get back this and try and solve it.

Use the following if you want to apply this change to all CPs using the com_bldg_controlzone.odf file:

Code: Select all

SetClassProperty("com_bldg_controlzone", "NeutralizeTime", 36)
SetClassProperty("com_bldg_controlzone", "CaptureTime", 16)

Adjust the number values however you like.

Use the following if you want to apply this change to CPs on the individual basis. The following uses a CP named cp1 as an example:

Code: Select all

SetProperty("cp1", "NeutralizeTime", 36)
SetProperty("cp1", "CaptureTime", 16)

Again, adjust the number values however you like.

This is if you want to do this by lua, which in this case you will want to add those lines somewhere between ScriptPostLoad() and ScriptInit() in you lua file(s).

One other idea, copy the CP odf from Common over to Data_abc\Worlds\abc\ODF and rename it to something like new_bldg_controlzone. and then change the neutralize time of that and use that as the command post.

OH! So many answers.

First I tried to do this by using this line:

Code: Select all

SetClassProperty("com_bldg_controlzone", "NeutralizeTime", 36)
SetClassProperty("com_bldg_controlzone", "CaptureTime", 16)

The second way I tried was this line:

SetProperty("cp1", "NeutralizeTime", 36)
SetProperty("cp1", "CaptureTime", 16)

For both options, nothing has changed. I used 120 als capturing and neutralized time.
So I think that it was not because I did not notice the change in game.

conquest:AddCommandPost(cp4)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp5)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp6)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp8)

SetClassProperty("comm_bldg_controlzone", "NeutralizeTime", 120)
SetClassProperty("comm_bldg_controlzone", "captureTime", 120)

conquest:Start()

SetUberMode(1);

EnableSPHeroRules()

AddDeathRegion("deathregion_1")

end

Here is my first attempt.

What did I do wrong. What I would have to change.

SetClassProperty("comm_bldg_controlzone", "NeutralizeTime", 120)
SetClassProperty("comm_bldg_controlzone", "captureTime", 120)

"comm_bldg_controlzone" should be "com_bldg_controlzone". One must never forget to fix spelling mistakes.

OH! I'm sure this mistake happened only here. But i have tried it twice and now it worked.

I'm a fool.

Thank you very much!
