Scenario settings

Seven scenarios are available to choose from: Digital Flag, Flag Control, Confrontation, Military Base, Outpost, Hospital and Arsenal.

 

DIGITAL FLAG

Each team taking part in the game is assigned a flag (the flag will be glowing with the color of the team it belongs to during the game). The task is to capture the enemy flag and deliver it to the home base. Shoot at the game set to capture it. A player who shoots at an opponent's flag must run to his base and shoot at his flag to score a capture.

At the end of the round, the flag makes a beep and changes the color to that of its owner. The flag display will show the number of flags captured by teammates.

Scenario features:

• A player who shoots at an opponent's flag cannot hit his opponents.
• Several players can capture an opponent's flag at the same time.
• The player who carries the flag loses it if he dies.

Settings

• Round time. Range: 0 - 1440 minutes
• Team. The color of the team to which the flag will belong in the game.
• Resurrection time. Range: 10 - 3600 seconds. The period of time after which the flag can be re-captured.
• Radiation:
  • on/off
  • Delay. Range: 1 to 9 seconds. If the Radiation parameter is enabled, the device will send a radiation pulse once after the specified time after the flag is shot at, causing damage to all players nearby.
  • Power: Range: 1 - 100% Damage caused by radiation.
• Impulse. In the Digital Flag scenario, the Reanimation command is used as a pulse. It will only work for the players of the team, who own the flag.
  • on/off
  • Pause. Range: 10 to 900 seconds. If the Impulse parameter is enabled, it will be ready for use after the specified time after the game start. The readiness is accompanied by a light indication on the top of the device - the fingerprint button is glowing blue.
  • Quantity. Range: 1 - 99. The number of pulses emitted. To activate the impulse, touch the button to scan a fingerprint. After using the Impulse you need some time for recharging. In this case, the button will flash to indicate recharging.

FLAG CONTROL

By default, the flag blinks white. The players capture it with a shot. The flag's color changes to that of the team that captured it.

At the end of the round, the flag emits a beep and changes its color to that of the winning team: the team that possessed the flag longer than others.

Settings

• Round time. Range: 0 - 1440 minutes
• Invading time. Range: 3 - 255 seconds. Within the specified time the flag is captured after the player shot at it.

CONFRONTATION

At the beginning of the game the flag is neutral, and it shines with the colors of all teams. Shoot at the device to capture it. The longer a team has the flag, the more LEDs on the flag are illuminated by the color of that team.

At the end of the round, the flag emits a beep and changes its color to that of the winning team: the team that possessed the flag longer than others.

Settings

MILITARY BASE

Each team taking part in the game is assigned a flag. In this scenario, it acts as a "base" for the team, where dead players can respawn. The base has a certain strength and can be destroyed by enemy players. In case of destruction, the base stops replenishing the lives of the team it belongs to until the strength is restored.

At the end of the round, the flag makes a beep and changes the color to that of its owner. The flag display will show the team name and number of times it base has been destroyed during the round.

OUTPOST

This scenario is similar to the Military Base. The main difference is that the outpost is initially neutral, the teams must capture it. After the capture, the outpost will be able to resuscitate the players of the team that owns it (the Impulse setting must be enabled for that purpose). In order to retake the outpost, it must be destroyed (bring its strength points to zero).
