Summary

This mod (Match Start Delay - MSD) creates domes around spawn points, preventing players from exiting. After a time set by the admin, the domes disappear.

Official Workshop description

This mod is designed to give players time to prepare before a match. It's primarily designed for tournament play. Features: - Visible domes around spawn points that players cannot exit or leave - Domes disappear after a time set by the admin - Visible timer showing how much time is left - Domes stop players and vehicles, but not projectiles, to avoid accidental damage. You can set three attributes: - the countdown timer (default 0) - the dome diameter (default 100m) - the dome type (default EmiRm8). You can do this in the World Editor, in the GameMode entity, under "Match Start Delay" or in the server config.json file, for example: "missionHeader": { "m_MSD_Settings": { "m_fCountdownDuration": 180, "m_fDomeDiameter": 50, "m_sMSD_DomePrefab": NoEmi } } By default, the countdown time is set to 0, meaning there will be NO delay in matching. Settings from the JSON file got priority over settings from the scenario. DomePrefab right now can be choosen from: - NoEmi- glass without emissivity - EmiYm3 - glass with yellow emissivity -3 - EmiRm8 - glass with red emissivity -8 (default). This mod can run standalone, but at its core it was created for the ArmaFrags.com PVP tournament community. Supported by the "GM Spectate Tournament" mod. * If you have any comments or suggestions, you can find me at "PLG - Polska Gurom" and "ArmaFrags" Discords.
