here is my question
how am i going to set up this game
how to setup the arena
whats the arena size and lenght mins?
and the other question is ChallengeRegionStone.
i want to add all the games.but there is only one ChallengeRegionStone
i make the bounding area with this stone but for which game?
i think this system works like running only one game at a time?
i think multiple games cant be run in this system?
because when i add a ctf and then add a deathmatch
deathmatch replaces the ctf game.
i make arenas for all the games in my shard.
i want to setup all the specific games on their arenas
and set their region etc.
and when i want to play the ctf just go to the arena of crf and start it
then if i want death match just go to its arena and start it
isnt this possible?
and the last is for the 1vs1 challange game .how to make its area?
cant i add different areas for all the games?
am i have to set the area for only one game which is to play at that moment?

you can place as many challegeregionstones as you like, but I think that you are misunderstanding their role.
Individual games can set their own arena sizes, duration, etc. just by entering that information in the game setup gump. You do not need a challengeregion for each game.
Typically you would set up challege regions so that people could run their games there without interference from others.
The challenge regions prevent multiple games from being started there at the same time. They also serve as the maximum bounds for any games started in them.
You can also force games to only be played in challenge regions by setting the

CODE
public static bool OnlyInChallengeGameRegion = false; // if this is true, then the game can only be set up in a challenge game region

in the individual game scripts.

i really dont understand. i am the staff and only i create the games. for example i make an arena for ctf how can i make its area region without using the stone? i dont know the area size
how can i know the arenas size?
confused :confused:

The region is only placed once to define a general restricted playing area. You would not do this every time you started a game.
When you start a game it will place the gauntlet. Then doubleclick the gauntlet and you will get to set the size of the playing area for that particular instance of the game in the gump.
Every time you want to start a new game, you would place a new gauntlet and specify the game settings again for that instance.

i dont know the area size how can i know the arenas size?

You specify whatever you want. It is just sets the limits of the playing area that you want for that particular game given in tiles from the gauntlet.
If you are starting this in a challenge region, then you are further restricted such that the area you specify will not extend beyond the bounds of the challenge game region regardless of the size you specify.

One individual can only start one game at a time. You can have as many games going at the same time as you like, but they must be started by different people.

you can set up multiple challenge game regions, but you cannot restrict them to one particular type of game.
It's a good idea. I'll add it to the list.
