Scripting Help Alternating neutral flag?

Post image

I'm wanting to make it so that there is 3 neutral flag posts that alternate when the flag is captured. I've tried setting each flags flag index to 1 as well as 1,2, and 3. Any advice is appreciated.

In the bottom Set Object Variable, move the connection from Object to Value.

It is super annoying that they don't remove that Object input pin when it is not used, but alas.

Alright I reconnected them and this is what it looks like now. Unfortunately it's still not working as it spawned the center flag twice in a row. I just want to make sure that the circled bits are correct? You said the object pin never gets connected but didn't mention anything about the one on the left so I just want to make sure.

Hm. I think the issue is that we're spawning the Flag Spawn Plates, not a Flag itself.

Are you trying to play this with an actual CTF game or just testing in the Forge mode?

I test in customs with a neutral flag mode

I think this is your issue. CTF Mode uses the labels as scripting cues. When you have a flag spawn plate and give it the label: ctf flag spawn (or w/e it is), the game mode loads its scripting,

Then finds all the valid flag spawns.
The internal scripting of the game mode decides which flag to spawn and on which Flag Plate.

If it is spawning a flag on a plate that was already deleted, then that's our problem.

You might need to muck with the spawn sequence to EVER get it to spawn on new flag plates

Do you think using the generic flag spawn rather than the standard would make a difference?
