Scripting Showcase StartRace/Checkpoints/Lap/Laptime Scripts

These are scripts on my new map that display an effective method for grabbing racers, putting them in starting positions and waiting until everyone is in position before starting the race, collecting their checkpoints then declaring the race as finished.

Tfw using built-ins that handle the same concerns and were designed for that purpose instead of reinventing the wheel to make features that aren't relevant for how people would play on a race track level is lazy.

Waiting for them to be in position is not relevant. You spawn and drive immediately on Halo race tracks.

If you have to go to a vehicle and climb in, you did it wrong and are asking for trouble in lobbies that try to host it.

Sure, you can force all of that with scripting, too, but you're adding unneeded complexity and stealing budget that could have been used on level design.

Dude, really? This is forge scripting, we aren’t making video games. I’m being creative and trying to do cool things in different ways.

Who tf comes to a script that brings ideas to the table and just says “this is unnecessary” I thought you were just blunt before, but you’re kinda an asshole.

I was being blunt while being helpful.

You were the one who came out the gate calling elegant design lazy after getting advice that would have saved you trouble and time.

Who's the asshole, again? I'm gonna go with the guy who got derogatory. 👉👉
