Quake2 Mapping

[ViciouZ]

For my crappy game, I need some mapping help :-/

1. Is it possible to spawn monsters after a delay, repeatedly?

2. Is it possible to forcefully change the level as soon as every monster has been killed?

Not another game with monsters

1- yes
2- only with engine modification.

[ViciouZ]

Care to tell me how you repeatedly spawn monsters Eiii?

[Eiii]

You're the one with the source code. I can't say I know exactly how to, but with the source to the game that's definitely possible.

[ViciouZ]

Odeaz. I meant do it in the map, but oh well. Time to get down to work, I suppose.

[Eiii]

Then you just need to code a new entity.

EDIT: Wait, you can do that with a func_spawner and a timer.

there's a func_changelevel or something, but I don't think there's a way to tie that into which monsters have been killed.  It can be done from the game code, though.  No need to modify the engine.

Oh, by engine I meant game code. Sorry, get those confused. >_>

Viciouz, there is a mod called 'vortex' that you should check out.

It has a couple different game types, and one of them is called Player vs Monster.  Ask around on their forums, they are pretty friendly.

I have everything sorted except I need to push the monster towards the player... Basically the monsters spawn in a dark area the players can't get to. They are facing the player but don't attack. How can the monster be made to attack or move towards the player as soon as it spawns?
