How to you implement a CTF type map trigger?

How do I go about implementing a timed map trigger? I want to fire a victory type event when a players stands over a trigger for a certain amount of time. CTF type of thing.

You mean like the character raises the flag up into the air and stabs it into places or if it's the winning cap, raise it into the air and hear a crowd screaming? I can't do crap... I know it's possible though... oncollision with flagstand then set pose or Raise_and_stab.dsq... something like that?

When a player collides with the flag, schedule a timer. When the timer expires, seee if the player is still over the flag. If so, then it's a win situation.

Thanks for the replies, I figured it out. I will post the details sometime over the weekend.

Make a trigger, when the trigger ticks for each player in the trigger add 1 tick to thier "total trigger time", if any of them reach MAX_TIME then cause a win.

Also, you need to reset the trigger time for each player when they enter the trigger (so its a single continous trigger).

I'll have something similar in RWTA later this week if you keep an eye out for its released.
