"Gladiators" masterscript

[bobdaduck]

I use this script running my "gladiators" server. Its simple and effective, and also quite fun. When someone dies, it drops an energy pack and a burst that explodes immediately. It could easily be modified to drop health packs, resource items, asteroids, or cores.

I run the server with strictly FFA maps, which complements the script.

  Code:

function onShipKilled(ship)
    local loc = ship:getLoc()
   
    local boom = Burst.new()
    boom:setLoc(loc)
    levelgen:addItem(boom)
   
    local spoils = EnergyItem.new()
    spoils:setLoc(loc)
    spoils:setRegenTime(10000) --Technically not optimal, but does the job.
    levelgen:addItem(spoils)
end

function onMsgReceived(message, playerInfo)
    if(message == "!info") then
        globalMsg("Killing someone will cause them to drop a burst and an energy pack")
    end
end

function main()
    subscribe(Event.MsgReceived)
    subscribe(Event.ShipKilled)
end

It could easily be modified to drop health packs, resource items, asteroids, or cores.

Can you imagine creating a core every time a player dies? I can't see it ending well
