Hi All.

I once found a webpage with a tutorial on Traditional Ctf. Btw... Traditional ctf is where the flag can be returned by touching it and can only be capped if their teams flag is returned. I was wondering if any of yous could help me find the website.

Halflife did not ship with CTF already set up. You need a mod that supports the gameplay. Of these, there are several

• Opposing Force (now completely free on steam)
• TFC (part of halflife for some time now)
• Adrenaline Gamer ( http://www.planethalflife.com/ag )

And I'm certain there are others, but most of them are kinda stupid sorts of things, like Snow Wars and Monkey Strike.

TFC has a very malleable entity system that should allow you to create CTF gameplay any number of ways. It's still class based though, so if you prefer making people just pickup their weapons you won't want that.

AG is a good choice, in my opinion, for designing a CTF map in HL with standard HLDM weapons, but the community for the mod is mostly just the supernasty players that like to duel each other so don't expect much play.

I'm not sure what state OpFor is in right now, I even heard somewhere you can't currently play OpFor CTF online somewhere, but I think it's a lie. There's probably not many games going. It has all the OpFor weapons and I think the flags work as you are describing "Traditional CTF." There's also powerups that you can put in the maps, which recently were also made available to plain OpFor DM maps, which was really too damn late for any mappers to care unfortunately.

If you aren't asking about HL at all, but rather about CTF in UT, then you gotta say exactly which game you want help with specifically, or no one will know what you're talking about. Don't expect to get answers, as this is a HL site.

Ok, that's the previously ambiguous info we need to know. I'm not too familiar with TFC, but someone will probably be able to answer it if it's doable.

Surely with TFCs fancy entities you could do this? I'm not familiar with TFC mapping... I dont think many people map for it anymore, so it might be hard to find someone who knows how to do this.

I think 1 TFC map does this... where you cant cap the flag unless you have your flag.

Just to clear things up, are we talking about TFC or not? Yes? And you want to know how to make 'normal' TFC but where the defending player can return their flag by touching it? In which case you need to restore the goal somehow

I know it's do able... im just stuck on the red team returnin their flag part. not sure how to do it. i know there is a specific tut out there.

Brasso, i no wat ur thinkin, but they dont have 2 carry it back, just touch it and it returns automatically, but maybe i could edit it, i dunno... food for thought.

Opposing Force is free on Steam?

...Why haven't I upgraded yet? Also, I need to locate the high-definition pack somewheres...

So do we have an answer for this flag behavior dilemma? Unsolved mystery? Verifiably impossible?
