Lua:info ff script mulch

Introduction

An info_ff_script is a point-based scriptable entity. If you are familiar with TFC's entities, this entity is somewhat similiar to info_tfgoals and item_tfgoals; however, the scriptability behind this entity makes it a great deal more flexibile.

info_ff_script entities represent items that can affect, and be affected by players. Such items might be the flags in a CTF map, or the armor, health and ammo packs in a respawn room.

Using info_ff_script's

info_ff_script's are placed in a map through Hammer just like placing any point-based entity. If you are unfamiliar with this process, suck a dick.

It is important that any info_ff_script have a name. You can give it a name in Hammer. The name you choose for the entity is what is used in your map's LUA file to tie the info_ff_script entity to an actual useable object in-game.

Example info_ff_script names are: "red_flag", "resup_pack", "blue_armor", "yellow_healthkit", etc.

The Flexibility - The Confusion

Because info_ff_script's can be used for such a wide array of purposes, the amount of ways to interact and retrieve information from them can be overwhelming.

Alright... going to bed for the night.

You folks fell on your face. You get an F- in my book.
