Sniper Limits???

[Cain]

There is an updated sniper limit plugin I just loaded, that I *think* will protect a player who selected recon before 3 others did. I think it will protect your recon class even when you die, until yopu select another class.

Can someone test this for me, and see of you can pick Recon and play it the whole round without getting killed when others pick Recon ??

I am also considering allowing 4 snipers per team, rather than only 3.... Thoughts ??

Four is fine. I really like the more infantry combat thats been on the server

[Schultzy]

Four or less. Three works out, to be honest.

A few caveats I saw with the previous implementation (that probably can't be avoided)
1. If you pick up a dead sniper's kit, you will die when you kill someone.
2. If you are medic and a sniper picks up your kit to revive you (in which case you will have their kit) you will die when you kill someone.

4 it's good, since a full server has 4 squads, having 1 sniper per squad makes sense (to me) ...and there's always 1 player crying about the 3-sniper limit, so that extra sniper would cover that, AND it would make it less distracting for the rest of us

My thoughts, exactly.....

1) This is designed to keep pairs/groups of snipers from breeding lots of other snipers to get around the limits. This is as designed.

2) Can you explain this in a little more details?? You are saying you pick up a sniper kit, when you were previously a medic, then die when you kill with the sniper kit, or something different?

IMO, 3 has been working very nicely.

We get killed enough with 3 snipers as it is. When we hit the jungle map. They want to line up to hide and shoot. If they want to play sniper they will find a server to play on. I guarantee there are more that like the infantry play than snipers that cant be snipers. That's why we fill up so fast.

Player A is a sniper and player B is a medic. Player B gets shot. Player A picks up player B's medic kit and revives B. Player B then re-enters the game as a sniper and takes the over limit hit.

Today I did notice that it will still let you spawn as a sniper and then give you the over limit kill. I also died as a sniper and when I respawned as a sniper I got the over limit kill.
