Static void updateDestructCountdown(float dt) Search for 'destructCountdown' again, and you will find this section: Just below the 'destructCountdown' line, add this new line:

Next, search for 'destructCountdown' and you will find these lines: I also didn't include a delay for Steamroller however, implementing a delay for that as well wouldn't be difficult.Īll of the changes that we will make will be in the file, playing.cxx.Īt the beginning, of playing.cxx, you will see a section for 'system includes':Īt the end of that, add 'int deathStart ' so that the section now reads like this: The idea is to shoot a person who actually shot you. Being that the time is short, I decided to go simply with 'Death imminent' as a quick warning for you to get your shot(s) off before you blow up. Additionally, my idea was to have a countdown on the display. Perhaps, you can shorten it to make it less noticeable yet still give you just enough time to pop off a shot or two at the player who shot you. You can adjust that value to suit your liking. In this example, I use 1.0f which turns out to be a little closer to two seconds than it does one. It would be easily noticed, and you would be singled out shortly for cheating. Suggestions to clean it up or to make it easier are always welcome.Īnyway, I found in my experiments that setting the delay to 2.0f seemed a little long.

Some administrators, though, may kick players who lag or seem to lag until they are able to fix the problem especially if other players are complaining about it.īeing that I'm not a software developer, this may look a bit rough however, it works. The delayed death cheat can also be useful for cheaters with slow connections and/or moderate to high lag since the delay can possibly be attributed to lag. Instead of exploding, I would have 2 seconds to kill him first. I wait for him to land, but am hit before he lands. Maybe there could be a client side delay so that when the tank detects that it has been shot, it will let you live for just a little longer, giving you a short time in which you could kill your killer before you died. Here is an excerpt of his comment to Super 'Kill Me' on Demand in which he proposed the idea: When the Rabbit is killed, the server selects a new Rabbit.This cheat comes to us by way of an idea from blogger, person. The Rabbit can score the most points, but it is also the most vulnerable. All of the other players will be Hunters. In this mode, a single Rabbit is chosen by the server. Each team also tries to prevent the enemy team from capturing their flag. For each team, the objective is to capture enemy team flags by grabbing them and bringing them back to their base. In CTF, each of the four main teams can have one or more team flags and one or more team bases, both colored to match their team. Teams do not matter, and all tanks can shoot other tanks. In OpenFFA, the objective is to shoot other tanks to earn points. Rogue players are allowed to shoot any tank, even other Rogues. The four main teams should not shoot other team members as this will result in a penalty.

In Free For All, also known as Freestyle, the objective is to shoot enemy tanks to earn points. Some servers may use custom plugins to create variations of these game modes. Servers can choose to limit the number of players per team or disable a team entirely. The server will automatically set the player's team to either Hunter or Rabbit. In the Rabbit Chase game mode, team selection does not matter. There is also a Rogue class that can shoot any other tank, even other Rogues. In the Open Free For All game mode, the teams do not matter, and it is allowed to shoot any tank for points. Teammates should not shoot each other in those modes. In the Free For All and Capture The Flag game modes, each team works together to fight the other teams. The game has four main teams: Red, Green, Blue, and Purple.
