Creating a GameMode

Gamemodes define rules about what should happen on a level. They are set in a level file. Typically when making a gamemode, you'll want to inherit the class from either BaseGameMode, VersusGameMode, or TeamVersusGameMode. Or, if you're just adding something very simple to an existing gamemode, you can also inherit from Campaign, Survival, Deathmatch, etc.

The most basic plain gamemode you can make is this:

[GameMode]
class BasicGamemode : BaseGameMode
{
	BasicGamemode(Scene@ scene)
	{
		super(scene);
	}
}

The above script will simply spawn a player in the map without any weapons and no HUD. If we wanted to give the player a few weapons for example, we'd add the following override provided by BaseGameMode:

void SpawnPlayer(int i, vec2 pos = vec2(), int unitId = 0, uint team = 0) override
{
	BaseGameMode::SpawnPlayer(i, pos, unitId, team);

	// Give weapons
	g_players[i].AddWeapon("weapons/smg.sval");
	g_players[i].AddWeapon("weapons/railgun.sval");

	// Give ammo
	g_players[i].GiveAmmo("weapons/ammo/bolts.sval", 30);
	g_players[i].GiveAmmo("weapons/ammo/bullets.sval", 500);
}
