Mission Objectives

Has anyone played with setting up mission objectives? For example if Team A blows a Generator X, the game is over?
Please charing anything you have done or any ideas of easy ways to implement this.

Item - anything, just something you can carry and it flags as being carried in your inventory.
1) touch item
2) take item to area
3) enter area
4) stay in area for n seconds
5) remove item from area
6) have n players in area
7) destroy item
8) multiples of the above
Basically, most of these can be tied to trigger an action, an action being a function that does something (scripted sequence or whatever) also, a trigger may actually count for each of these events THEN trigger. Or finally, it may be a multi-trigger action, in which case it looks for a number of these events to happen.
Basically, 90% of games use very simply mechanics.

but is there a endgame state? that is already defined in the game? That would tell the server that game is complete?

This answer to this was apparent in the Realm Wars Release :)

I'd like to see something like this, GoldenEye - Medal of Honor - TimeSplitters kind of thing.

This thread is 5 years old.. =)

Make a destroyable object (say an immobile vehicle, already has damage functions) that gets spawned when the mission starts (like the way you want to do vehicles) then tie a script event to it's destroyed state?
Think that will work?
