taggercontrol - More ways to tag players.

TAGGERCONTROL VERSION 2
Have you ever been playing Tag, and found yourself with a tagger who's away, or one that's not very good?
So someone voluntarily sacrifices themselves for the good of the match.
But I thought it would be better if that could be done automatically!

Version 2 expands upon this original idea, bringing many more configurations.


Variables:
Tag and Hide and Seek specific variables:

• taggers <1-31> -- The mininum number of taggers.
• taggerpercentage <1-99> -- The percentage of players who should be taggers.
• limittaggers <Yes/No> -- If taggers can be untagged.
• minsurvivors <1-31> -- Overrides the number of taggers, keeping atleast one.
• blindtime <0-6> -- Survivors who trade roles with a tagger become blind for a number of seconds.

Variables that apply in all game types:

• strikes <1-6> -- The number of strikes players get before being eliminated.
• taglimit <0-31> -- How many eliminations must occur before the round ends.
• taghazards <Death/Hazards/Player> -- How players can receive strikes.

  Death: By getting hit by another player, or dying.
  Hazards: As above, but also by environmental hazards.
  Player: Only by getting hit by a player.

• strikescoring <Uniform/Increasing/Final> -- How points are awarded to a player who strikes another player.

  Uniform: 100 points are awarded every time.
  Increasing: An increasing amount of points, based on the strike number, is awarded each time.
  Final: A large amount of points is awarded on the final strike.

• paralyze <On/Off> -- Eliminated players are paralyzed, just as in Hide and Seek.
• eliminate <On/Off> -- Eliminated players are forced to spectate until the next round.

• autorespawn <0-30> -- If greater than 0, dead players respawn after a number of seconds.

Commands:

• tag [player] -- Toggle a player being eliminated.
• maketagger [player] -- Make a player "IT".
  
  When player is ommited, operates on yourself.
  player can be either a name or number.

Using taggercontrol in your own Lua scripts:
taggercontrol globally defines a few functions and a table called taggercontrol,
which you can use to access some internal functions and variables.

Detailed documentation is presented in the source code.


All commands and variables are server/admin only.
By default, the variables are set to not alter normal gameplay.
Credits are placed in a header at the top of the file.
This addon is placed in the public domain.
