What I want to do is make a game type where all you can do is beat the other players down. I've seen it done, where you spawn with no weapon and the only thing on the map are flags and oddballs. My questions are:

1)How do I make everyone spawn with no weapon?
2)How do I put a flag pole in place of all the weapons on the map?

I'm sure after that I could do the rest. If there is a tutorial for this, I'm sorry, I could not find it.

its all about switching the meta offset of the starting weapon. and to put flags where everything else is you need to change the [itmc] of the weapons by swapping the dependencies.

^Thanks for that, however, what would I change the meta offset of the starting weapon to exactly? I don't know how to go about starting out with nothing in your hands.

As for the flags replacing weapons, thank you, that made sense.

1. In insolence, you should go to the scnr tag, then go to the "starting equipment" replexive, and then view all of the dependencies. On the top row, you should see what you are starting with, you could probably null it out so that you don't start with a weapon (or w/e you want). (This is how I think you would go about doing it, but I am not 100% sure)

2. Using Dot Halo, you should go to the itmc tag then swap the dependency of each of the weapons with what you want to spawn.
