I’m new to forge so I just wanted to know is there a way to use the nodes in forge to create a custom game mode that can work on the regular maps? I don’t have any ideas for a map so I just want to create a mode for now. Thanks for the help.
In the node graft, try using the events like “on round start”. I’m currently struggling to implement things like the “give weapon to player” node needing a single player value, but that’s the starting point to setting up game modes. Also some of it can be done by the mode editor, but its kind of a mess as I see it… On the higher level there’s the ability to declare variables that are independent for each object (object scope) that you could use to count cash for kills and spend it or such.
I just published a “Speed Hill” map and game mode on my files if you want to look in to what I did for this infection style gamemode. For the gamemode settings outside forge I just used the arena:slayer from 343 and modified the player speed and weapon damage as well as zero’d out the scoring and made it round based with no overtime. You just kinda have to play with it, but it doesn’t let you edit them after saving so it sucks. In the Speed Hill map you’ll find a script brain at the top labeled “spawnn conditionss” or something sloppy. In that script brain is all the conditions for winning rounds and such that I made.
Just in case you didn’t realise - there is a node that iterates through every player.
It has four pins coming out;
Execute per player is your looping action pin. Pass this to your node code (he he) that acts on each player (eg. Give Player New Weapon).
Current player passes each player context in turn. So you can hand out weapons one at a time.
On completion is if you need to do more code after cycling through the players.
And the iteration counts each player 1, 2, 3… just in case you need to act on that.
Oh thank you! I think I got most of what I wanted today using the current player output from the for each player.
This is super helpful though, I was a bit confused by the others. Definitely feeling much more comfortable with the nodes now! Got a Speed mode working with super fast warthogs and everything!
