I'm curious about how he did that? He said he did some stuff in the LUA.
Anyone some ideas? Maybe just basics or so, for a start?

Well you could just ask him over at Gametoast :P
But as he says in the video title, he is using OnFlagPickup, and I imagine he just checks the class of the unit who picks up the flag, and if it is not the right one, he kills it and respawns it at the same location.

A possible script could be: (minus the checking of class)

OnFlagPickup(function(flag,character)
loc = GetEntityMatrix(GetCharacterUnit(character))
KillObject(GetCharacterUnit(character))
SpawnCharacter(character,loc)
end)

Thanks for your reply!

Oh, I will probably do that

Sadly, I have never used/seen any of these. I'm not a pro-modder at all yet, but I want to become one and learn all that stuff, because I have no idea where to add these lines and get them to work :/

Oh, just stick them in your mission script ([mapname][era]_[mode].lua), for example, TSTg_con.lua, found at data_XXX/Common/scripts/XXX, and just copy and paste those lines in function postLoad section, for example, under the conquest:start line.

Ohh okay, I'm aware of the lua files (at least of con)! So basically everything about the gamefunction happens in there, nowhere else? And do empty lines matter in the LUA and f.ex. a weapon's ODF? It's a thing I'm always afraid of ruining the file xD

Thank you very much! Havn't tried if it works (no CTF map, yet) but I got it and you helped me!

No, blank lines and empty spaces don't matter to the LUA compiler, they're only there for convenience to help organize/read it. The only thing about blank lines is they don't count to the line count, so debugging can be a bit more tricky if the compiler/game log tells you there is a crash on line 91, for example.

Ahh okay, thank you very much!!!
