ET Server Suggestion Silent 1 maps

[MosesIsComingLookBusy]

This is a bump.
JUst chiming in here. Need to change settings for the flamethrower on Silent 1. After burn is crazy.
I see you don't have access to the LUA settings. BUt I think if we make it self inflicted (flamer cloud) it would be on par.
Since atm, it is idiotic.

I'm not sure that's possible, that might be a FF only feature in silent mod or vanilla ET 

Can't be done without enabling friendly fire.

This was discussed in the past for beg2 and went nowhere. 

I think silent 1 should have FF on anyway since it has a more experienced population..

i found this lua script from many years ago i used it on my silentmod server, dont ask me anything im just going to place the code here 😄

 

function et_InitGame(levelTime, randomSeed, restart)
    et.RegisterModname("Flamethrower Self-Damage")
end

function et_Obituary(victim, killer, meansOfDeath)
    -- Check if the weapon used was a flamethrower
    if meansOfDeath == 10 and victim == killer then  -- Flamethrower MoD ID (check your mod if different)
        local selfDamage = 20  -- Adjust this value for balance
        et.G_Damage(victim, 0, selfDamage, 0)
    end
end

Um, that Lua script makes no sense... That absolutely won't do what you're trying to achieve. With friendly fire on, the killer and victim cannot be the same when using the flamethrower. Also, we're not even looking for the killer or victim — we're working with et_G_Damage. et_Obituary only triggers when a player dies, so you're essentially trying to inflict self-damage when another player dies?

You can discuss this somewhere else. This topic is for the map rotation of silent1.
