An SP Ringslinger Gametype?

This seems like it should be really easy, but despite that it looks like there's no way to do this, not that I would really know since I can't lua for shit beyond editing one line of other people's code.

What I want is really simple - just a way to let the player fire rings in certain maps in my mod without forcing the game to be modified. Basically a gametype that's literally the same as SP, but firing rings is allowed. I tried doing it with this:

Code:
addHook("MobjThinker", function(mo)
      if (maptol != 143) return end
      COM_BufInsertText(mo.player, 'ringslinger on')
end, MT_PLAYER)
Which, as expected, just prints "You haven't earned this yet." in the console infinitely on maps with the "Custom" gametype. Before this I tried doing it with a console script which had the same result. Is there a way around this without modifying the game? Every option I DO come up with does that and it's like there's nothing I can do...
 
Why not consider having the player shoot an object with BT_ATTACK (Ring Toss) in your custom level/gametype without the need to enable ringslinger instead of using that. I can make a quick script to help you out... once I get some damn rest ~_~
 
That's exactly what I did and thanks to the rest of the Kart Krew my problem's been solved, but thanks a lot for the offer.
You can look forward to seeing some cool stuff in Chaotic Earth's next version though!
