You probebly need lots of costum textures then. Whats the maximum score?

It reminds me a game called speed ball 2:Brutal Deluxe. Maybe it's they are both futuristic ball games. Maybe speed ball will give you ideas for your map, try it. The keys are A(down) Q(up) O(left) P(right) and space(slide/throw/punch). It's confusing in the start but when you get used to it it's really fun

I just want the code on the score board so I can use it in my Laser tag maps. =)

but I have to say this looks like fun.. very cool.

Hehe maybe i should make an tutorial map its quite simple actualy if there's enough intrest in these kind of tutorials i could consider in aking a tutorial

Its more like a pile math counters,some filters,game_scores...

the fair play logic system looks at who touched the ball blue/red by example if the rebels get the ball it will get red with the help of 2 Trigger multile's conected to the ball if the ball is red it ads 1 point to a math counter if the red all goes in the blue goal the math counter gets another 1 so the total value is 2 then the multiple scorefilter of the combine gets activated a math counter counts to 1 (1player) in the filter then it ads the score..... still not 100% fair but it works great now also with more players the system is now fair for 99.9% but getting the kill/death scores to the scoreboard will be an hard task the shape of the ball is also changed now from sphere to Icosahedron for more info on the shape visit this site http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Icosahedron.html the benefits of this shape are that it rolls much better so better ball controll and better game play

the map will come with an installer because i still havent found a solution to let apear the ball texture apear on the ball using pakrat....... (all other custom textures do work with pakrat)
so i need to install the ball+balltextures into the hl2dm dir....

Yesterday i implanted the "referee" system in my map now its 100% corect if a player drops the ball in the goal " SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">
Referee system checks which team scores:
was the ball touched by right team yes/no 1/0
is it the right goal yes/no 1/0
these values are monitored by 1 math counter
if both values are 1 we get 2 thats the point when the math counters fires on the teamscorefilter if 1 client is detected it adds 1 point to the corect team

Next step is to implant player deaths on the score board " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
but theres a little problem " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
i need a extra digit " SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif"> so i can display the global teamscore on the score board " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
so we can display 000 to 999 " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
piece of cake " SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">
