In order to make the Using Bots As Power-Ups idea I ran across a problem.
If you spawn a bot elsewhere in the map you get an annoying arrow pointing to their location. That's just annoying and spoils the illusion..
So I asked plaYer2k very nicely if he could add a CVAR to his HUD mod that allowed the user to switch these arrows off. You know what... he said YES!!!
.. and here it is
asw_arrows_for_offscreen_teammates 0
this command switches off the arrows.
asw_arrows_for_offscreen_teammates 1
switches them back on again.
Just add these to your map config file if you want to start your map with this disabled.
This also leads to a very interesting idea. You can spawn 4 players. In different locations and have them run into each other at various points of the map.
So it's like 4 players playing a single player game that affect each other at various points.
For example. Player 1 moves forward through his map and reaches a particular trigger or button. This opens or closes a particular route for player 2. Player 2 is then forced to intersect with player 3's map, or pass over the top of it etc..
at the end of the map the team meet up in the middle for a nice big finale battle.
Just a thought!
