STRaidKit

An outdated capture points system.

//


A project we've been debating uploading for a week or so, STRaidKit.

STRaidKit is a simple system to add an interesting way to play Sandbox with your friends. Even though this would be better as its own gamemode, I wanted to release this first.

To use this, spawn a Control Point, optionally name it with a ConVar, then press E to start capturing it. It will then take a certain amount of time, declared in a different ConVar, to claim it as your own. Other players can then steal it from you by doing the same.

I made this because some friends and I play our own little gamemodes in Sandbox, and we wanted something different.

This addon should work in any gamemode, but you shouldn't really use it in all.

Server owners: This addon has two ConVars: sv_st_cpdebug and sv_st_cptime. Debug will allow you to name your control points, and time will allow you to change how quickly the points capture. Default is 0.5.

Features and Contents
Point stealing: steal a point from someone else while they're capturing it.
Sound notifications: sound and chat messages when your point is under attack.
Control panel: a terminal to show who owns which points.
Custom naming: name the points on your map whatever you want.
Multi-session preservation: names of points persist through saves, and probably PermaPropping.
Color changing: points colors change to the owner's player color.

Note that this addon may not work perfectly, as this code is literally if statements. If anything goes wrong, that means script errors, incorrect calculations, or anything else, leave it in a comment below.

Known "issues"
NULL Entity script errors may occur when an owner of a point disconnects.

Future plans
Compatibility for teams
DIsplaying ownership of teams
