Mutation: Gun Hunt

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129326766

Here is a mutation that puts a spin on Survival mode. You start with a pistol and medkit, all initial pickups are removed. Weapons and items spawn at random points at certain intevals, with the weapons only having a few clips of ammo. It's a lot like the scavenger game mode in Battlefield 3.

This feels a lot harder than regular survival, I can hardly last 3 minutes with bots.

Current issues:
Spawns don't get deleted after a wipe. None of the game events fire after they've been placed.
No good way of removing empty weapons (no known way of reading the ammo count).

Possible improvements:
Random spawns based on nav mesh. Would need an interface to the nav mesh.

Update 2013-04-12:

I have now added single use ammo boxes to the random spawn system (thanks for GiveAmmo()). They are implemented with named prop_physics entities that are scanned for with the player_use game event callback. I don't know any way of getting the bots to use them, but they get ammo when players pick it up instead.

It's slightly easier now, I can just about reatch 5 minutes.

Awesome job! Can't wait to test it! If you are on, we can play a round together.

Hehe, they give us a set function without a get. What a surprise, lol. This is why I ask for a get/set netprop function. We can do so much with it!
