I’m a big fan of any gamemodes in online shooters with control points, and I think they would be a perfect fit for SDNL’s gameplay, so I wanted to suggest a few popular modes that I’d be happy to see if new game types are ever added. # King of the Hill Everyone reading probably knows what this is. Two teams fight over control of a (usually small) section of the map at a central location. The first team to hold the point for a total of 2 minutes wins. Maybe could use similar loadout/pickup settings to CTF (start with 3 guns + weapon pickups enabled). # KOTH Frenzy A variant of KOTH where the control point changes location every ~40-50 seconds. # Conquest / Territorial Control (I don’t remember the standard name for this mode so I just picked a name that sounds cool.) Multiple control points are enabled at once and each team fights to have as many as possible in their control at a given time. After X minutes, the team with the most points wins. ## Control Point Volume A new item would be needed to configure control points in workshop maps if these modes are added and a new type of volume would probably be the best option for that. Some settings that would be necessary / useful to have: - **Assigned Point:** A - J (up to 10 points in a map) - - Assigning multiple Volumes to the same letter allows for points to be made in more complex shapes than just a cube - **Gamemode (KOTH, KOTH Frenzy, Conquest):** toggles whether the point can be picked in each mode, similarly to the player/physics/etc toggles for existing volumes. - - A single volume can be picked in multiple modes if multiple are toggled on - - If multiple points are enabled for standard KOTH, one is randomly picked at the beginning of the round - **Pick Chance (%):** Changes how likely a point is to be picked during/before a round - - Mainly would be useful for having 100% guaranteed and/or random capture points in Conquest mode (and prioritizing certain areas more in Frenzy) - **Start Unlocked:** Toggles whether the point can be captured immediately. Points can also be locked/unlocked via IO events - - Useful for if an IO event blocks access to a point mid-round
