Oddball

Info

Back in Halo 3 there was this GameMode which was Free-For-All, where a player had to grab a skull and had to hold it for as long as they could, and the longer they sticked to it the more points the gained. If the player holding the skull was killed, you can grab it and hold it to gain points as well. The objective was to reach the score limit.
So yeah.

It would be pretty neat for somebody to make a GameMode for this or a Slayer extension.

I would call it

HTFDM
(Hold the flag death match)

or something like that.



HTFSDM
"Hold the loving skull deathmatch"

oddball

Actually that sounds pretty cool

oh that's the actual name of the real gamemode, awesome

basically, to do this, you would make a item/weapon (the skull) and run around with it. and its ability is to slam people with it.

then, in the code, you would basically make a timer in the script that activates when held. and call a function for when its dropped, that the timer would stop, and "messageAll" the time it was held and who was holding it.

It would drop by detecting the players death, and placing it on the ground, like the Ball pack thats default to wait until someone would pick it up. then the in the code, you need to tell it to start the timer, and restart the process.

Cool. Does that mean you can do it?

I already have the Oddball Skull (made by Demian) and plan to make this. Sadly, I haven't had time lately.
