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 |
- When the capturing progress reaches 100 %, the team that had capturing progress on the flag is now the new holding team
- “Team in majority” means that the team has the most players on the flag compared to the other team.
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
 |
Capturing | Attackers are capturing A. Capturing progress of attackers increases. |
 |
Uncapturing | Defenders are uncapturing A. Capturing progress of attackers decreases. |
 |
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. |

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:
holdingTeam: The team that is currently holding the flagcapturingTeam: The team that has currently capturing progress on the flagmajorityTeam: The team that has currently the majority of players on the flag
Then there is also the capturingProgress:
- Depending on the values, the
capturingProgressincreases, decreases or remains unchanged. If thecapturingProgressreaches a certain value, thecapturingTeambecomes the new holdingTeam. - The
capturingProgressresets to0if there is nocapturingTeam. - If the
capturingProgressis0or below, thecapturingTeamis cleared - The
holdingTeamcannot be thecapturingTeam
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 |
Responsibilities
- Each flag is represented by an object of
ConquestFlag. They are stored in the flags map inConquestGame. - A
ConquestFlagCapturedEventis fired when the holding team of the flag changes (due to capturing). Cancelling this event will prevent the holding team from getting changed, but since it does not change anything else, the flag will try to change its holding team again the next tick if the conditions are the same. - A
ConquestFlagPlayerOnFlagEventis fired for each player inside the flag area. Cancelling this event will remove the player from the majority team calculation for the current tick.
