Warcraft CTF- Trigger Help: Flag Dropping!

[eloon]

Hey folks!
could use some help for a special trigger:
I'm building a CTF Map... everythings fine about it, but one thing: i need a trigger for the flag dropping, in case of the hero's death. I mean, to let it fall down is no problem. But to make it staying there for a short period of time before it returns to the base is a difficult thing!

I would be very grateful, if there would be someone to help me!

What do you mean by CTF?

 

[eloon]

oh, i'm sorry for that. CTF= capture the flag

Hi elroon I have on my warfortress map *a tf/ctf map* when it lands it goes back when the other team picks it up so i'm not exactly sure how to go about it. But go ahead and get my warfortress map from my website and open it up and take a look it may give you a point in the right direction.

*i don't protect my maps ever so feel free*

 

[eloon]

Oh, THANKS, i think i'll have a look in it...
if everything works with my trigger, i'll post it, else, thanks anyway

cYa, elOON

oh, btw:
Quickshot14, do you have any interests in helping me in a way?
just some little things.... like (for the times to come) balancing or whatever....

Sure i don't mind helping do testing and balancing and such, i'm getting ready to update my warfortress map anyway *after 1.15 goes final* so i know how hard it can be too find relible testers. Just send me an email or pm or whatever and i'll help ya out if i can.

 

[eloon]

The flag is an item - in the item editor select "dropped on death".

Make a trigger:

Event: a unit drops an item
Condition: dropped item equal to flag1
Action: start Flag1Return timer

Event: Flag1Return timer expires
Action: move flag1 back to base

Event: a unit picks up flag1
Actions:
Stop Flag1Return timer 
if unit is in team 1, move flag back to base 1
else do nothing
