Flags (Conquest)

General

Holding flags is the main objective in conquest mode.

For the attackers to win, they must hold more than half of all flags for 5 minutes.

In order for the defenders to win, the attackers must run out of their available time of 30 minutes.

Both timers are mutually exclusive. This means that if the attackers' 5-minute timer is active, the defenders' 30-minute timer is inactive. The same applies the other way round, but the attackers' 5-minute timer counts up to 5 minutes again in the background as long as it is inactive.

Behavior

Status Condition Result
IDLE No enemy team and no capturing progress on the flag Nothing happens
Capturing Other team is in the majority on the flag Capturing progress inceases
Uncapturing Holding team is in the majority on the flag Capturing progress decreases
IDLE with progress No team is on the flag, but there is still capturing progress on it Capturing progress decreases slowly
Tie Both holding team and other team is on the flag with the same amount of players Nothing happens

Appearance in world

Particles

The green or red particles on the ground are marking a flag area. The particle color is the current holding team of the flag. That means, if the flag is currently controlled by the defenders, the particles are green. When the attackers are holding the flag, the particles are red.

Here you can see how that looks:

Flag Object

A planned feature is that there is an actual flag model in the flag area. Since we currently don't have someone who creates custom models, this feature isn't currently available.

Sidebar

The sidebar shows the flags available. The color of the flag letter is the current holding team. cc2_conquest_sidebar_flags.png

There is also a capturing indicator. It is shown in the color of the team which currently has capturing progress on the flag.

Icon State In this example
cc2_conquest_sidebar_flags_capturing.png Capturing Attackers are capturing A. Capturing progress of attackers increases.
cc2_conquest_sidebar_flags_downcapturing_fast.png Uncapturing Defenders are uncapturing A. Capturing progress of attackers decreases.
cc2_conquest_sidebar_flags_downcapturing_slow.png IDLE with progress Attackers are not actively capturing A, but still have progress on it. Capturing progress of attackers decreases slowly.
N/A IDLE or Tie Defenders hold A without any capturing progress by the attackers, or both attackers and defenders have the same amount of players on the flag.

Examples

Flag states

How it works internally

Instead of the flag states which are shown to the outside, the flag uses 3 different values which then results in the flag state:

Then there is also the capturingProgress:

Internal values to flag state

Internal name Condition Result Shown name
IDLE capturingTeam not set Nothing happens IDLE
CAPTURING capturingTeam is set and capturingTeam == majorityTeam capturingProgress increases Capturing
UNCAPTURING_BY_OWNER capturingTeam is set and majorityTeam == holdingTeam capturingProgress decreases Uncapturing
UNCAPTURING_BY_OTHER capturingTeam is set and majorityTeam != holdingTeam != capturingTeam capturingProgress decreases N/A (not possible except when using commands)
UNCAPTURING_IDLE capturingTeam is set and majorityTeam not set capturingProgress decreases IDLE with progress
MULTIPLE_TEAMS capturingTeam is set and majority team set to multiple teams value (-1) Nothing happens Tie
