[Open Assets] Freeze-Tag Gamemode

[Smol]

Introduction:
The classic playground game implemented in SRB2!
Built as an alternative to regular tag; there are no weapons, instead you must tag others to win!

Gameplay & Rules:
Half the players are chosen at random to be "IT!"
If a tagger touches a runner, then the runner will be frozen and unable to move.
But if a runner isn't frozen, they can unfreeze other runners and keep going!

Rings can increase your speed, and are required to tag people.
When a player reaches their ring cap, they can also use a special move that uses up all their rings!

Extra Commands:

Spoiler

"IT"
Set a specific player as IT. If you don't specify anyone, it will choose at random.

"NOT-IT"
Remove IT status from a player. If you don't specify anyone, it will also choose at random.

Changelog:

v3.1:
- A proper release... never release too early!

- Ring counts are now capped.
- Taggers now have a new insta-dash move that can be used at 150 rings.

Sorry for the delay. Welcome to releases!

Looks interesting. I will pop by tommorw to give it ago and maybe host.

A small thing i would suggest is to colour the text that says IT,RUNNING and FROZEN so its better as a visual

I.e. light blue text for FROZEN
White for IT
And Orange for RUNNING.

Just played this on my server a while ago, and I have to say it's quite fun. I didn't encounter any problems with it either. Good work here.

I have only one question, how did you do that the players can't throw weapons? Which command is doing this?

 

[Blaze The Cat]

if pl.weapondelay == 0 then pl.weapondelay = UINT16_MAX end

This may be what you're looking for. In the game, there is a delay timer between you being able to shoot another ring. This script simply sets it to the maximum integer (Which is a very large number) so that a player can never shoot, and triggers this when the delay has run out.

I'm quite excited about this new version, so much was added!
I think Freeze-tag is looking better now. v3.0 is now out!

 

[MK.exe]

You should add a label above "not-it" players to help out taggers if you release another version.
