Battle Beacons - Beacons that Fight Back!

Battle Beacons - Beacons that Fight Back!
Looking for a challenge? Try battle Beacons!

Adds 3 supply drops with adjustable amounts of good loot that are defended by 3 different levels of automated Laser and Particle Rocket turrets.


Map Extension - Sublevel - BattleBeacons_Sublevel - Adds new spawn points for "Battle Beacons" to spawn

Defended by 3 Laser turrets, lasts for 15 minutes before self destructs.
Defended by 5 Laser turrets, lasts for 30 minutes before self destructs.
Defended by 5 Laser turrets + 4 Particle Rockets, lasts for 45 minutes before self destructs.
Turrets can be spawned in and placed on their own for admin events.

• Every item has not yet been added to the crates.
  
• All 3 crates can contain the same items you just get more from higher levels.
  
• Once the turrets have been defeated there is no level requirement to access the crates.
  
• Laser turrets fire a little faster than a regular turret but do a little less damage.
  
• Rockets are pretty deadly but slow moving. The Rocket turret is just a larger version of the mini turret. I Will eventually make models for both.
  
• Turrets have unlimited ammo so throwing your pets at them won't deplete the ammo but it will distract them.
  
• As of right now, a crate will spawn 5-15 minutes after a restart then every 1 to 2 hours after that for testing purposes. Future versions will be set to 3 to 6 hours or more between spawns.
  
• Turrets can be spawned in and placed on their own for admin events.
  Once placed, the turret will self destruct after 45 minutes. The delay time can be set via GameUserSettings.ini. Timer will reset if turret is "Picked Up". Admin placed turrets will disappear on server restart.
  When admin placed, the turret will belong to you as opposed to being "wild". IE: It will not fire at you or tribe mates but will fire at others.

Add the following to your GameUserSettings.ini and edit how you wish:
[BattleBeacons]
CrateMinQualityLVL3=0
CrateMaxQualityLVL3=1
MinItemSetsCrateLVL3=5
MaxItemSetsCrateLVL3=6

DisabledTurretsLaserLVL3=0
DisabledTurretsRocketLVL3=0

CrateMinQualityLVL2=0
CrateMaxQualityLVL2=1
MinItemSetsCrateLVL2=3
MaxItemSetsCrateLVL2=4

DisabledTurretsLaserLVL2=0

CrateMinQualityLVL1=0
CrateMaxQualityLVL1=1
MinItemSetsCrateLVL1=2

DisabledTurretsLaserLVL1=0

LaserTurretRange=2
RocketTurretRange=2

LaserTurretDMG=30
RocketTurretDMG=500

LaserTurretLife=0
RocketTurretLife=0

• There are 3 range settings: 0, 1 & 2. 0 = shortest, 2 = longest.
  
• DisabledTurrets means exactly that. IE: Set "DisabledTurretsRocketLVL3=4" and there will be no rocket turrets. Set to 1 and there will be 3, etc..
  
• LaserTurretDMG & RocketTurretDMG is self explanatory. (DMG = Damage)
  
• Min/Max quality controls the item quality IE: Ascendant/Primitive. Set between 1-10. higher number = higher quality.
  There are multiple items in each "Item set".
  
• The defaults listed above will be used if no .ini settings are used.
  
• LaserTurretLife & RocketTurretLife are set in seconds. Default is 2708 seconds or 45 minutes + 8 seconds. 3600 would be 1 hour. (Only affects admin spawned turrets)
