CTF FLAG UNIT PING

[Cosmonaut]

In my ctf map i want the item pinged, i can do that but when a unit picks up the flag how do i make it ping the unit caring the flag

 

[imported_Bort]

shouldnt it just keep pinging the item anyways? if it doesnt, umm, use a 'hero carrying item of type flag', 'owner of item' function. or sumthing... either that or a variable, ie FlagCarrier

i should prolly open my CTF map, but i really cbf. maybe tomorrow

If you don't know how to use variables you'd better stop making maps until you know how to use them. =.=x

 

[Cosmonaut]

everymap doesnt need a varible and im only 14 iv only been world editing for like half a year or something.

While not every map need a variable, every GOOD map will have at least one, if not many

Bah, I figured that lightning strike wasn't gonna do anything good...

Ah well, accidental double post =/

Age isn't excuse.

I'm 14 too.

Don't compare knowledge to age.

 

[Cosmonaut]

how long do u spend using the world editor. i mainly play diablo 2 and usely spend my time working on escape map stuff not stuff that takes ages to make.
