Linedef type 427

Linedef type 427, Award Score, is a type of linedef executor which, when triggered, adds to or subtracts from the score of the player who activates it. This is useful for making King of the Hill maps, in which players have to obtain control of a specific sector.

Setup

The tag given to this linedef is irrelevant. The amount of points to award is specified by the front texture X offset of the control linedef. The offset can be negative; if this is the case, points will be subtracted from the player's score instead (down to the minimum of 0).

Sample

Example file: ex_ld427_awardscore.wad (MAP01) 

• Standing on the blue sector will award 1 point per tic to the player who stands inside it.
• Standing on the red sector will deduct 1 point per tic from the player provided that their score is above 0.

How to use

You may load this file into your favorite map editor, such as Zone Builder. Select MAP01 as the map to load. You may also load this file in the game: Save ex_ld427_awardscore.wad into the addons folder of your SRB2 directory. Start SRB2, go to the Addons menu, and then select ex_ld427_awardscore.wad. Start the game in Single Player mode. Press the Console button (~), and type in the command MAP MAP01 to access the example map. When you load this file in the game, it replaces Greenflower Zone Act 1.
