Substitute System

Content

The substitute system is something that the FF team can try out at a later date, once everything is fairly well developed (i.e. it is low priority for the moment).

Setup

Each team has a set number of Substitutes that sit on a virtual 'bench', waiting to join the game. This number can be set by the server operator (ff_substitutes [0 or -1 for off, then 1,2,3,4 or however many the server the server can handle]) , and is designed for use in clan games. Substitutes show up on the scoreboard in a separate area.

Restrictions

Substitutes:

• Can view only their teammates, and exist as a restricted type of Spectator
• Are locked to a first-person perspective.
• Can use team chat to communicate with their team mates (both read and send).
• Can use voice communications to communicate with their team mates (both hear and speak).
• May change to a proper class when permitted to do so by the server settings and (possibly) their teammates

Please see the discussion page for an outline of some problems we face with this feature.
