This idea has been knocking around for ages, years even. Tempted to make a start on it in December. Time will tell!

Been banging my head on vehicles for a bit tonight. Turns out the gametype needs bAllowVehicles. Duh.

From Inbox of all places, found a start of how to create a gametype.

    class CarJackMatch extends TeamGame;

    defaultproperties

    {
       GameName="CarJack"
       Acronym="CJ"
       MapPrefix="CJ"
       Description="Kagato's mad scramble for all the cars in the map"

    }

Not convinced TeamGame is the right base class, VCTF may be a better idea, or Onslaught. Have to wait until I've seen those classes up close.

Also have taken VCTF-GhettoFabulous and started to change it to CJ-GhettoFabulous by creating two garage spaces. God I hate UED!

How's this for a plan?:

- Make a test map that looks like a carjack map. Make it VCTF, nice and simple, with two garages, some terrain, and a lavapool or something (because we want to make sure we can't get vehs stuck forever)
- A GarageVolume actor needs to be created that can be placed in the maps and used to detect when a team has captured a veh
- CJ gametype to implement the rules
- CJ vehicles to start implementing indestructiblity and jackability

After that it should be a process of iteration and refinement.

Who's in? My mapping skills are poor, coding rusty, but I feel like this could be done in a month.

Kamek: I'd be glad to help in any way I can during some of my spare time. I can do coding, or converting maps from other gametypes to CJ.

Kirk: I'm interested. My skills particular to Unreal are not too awesome but not too shabby. I'd like some more working with it. Check out Kirk for contact details if required :P
