Info_objective entities essentially provide objective information to the player during the game. For example, the objective description, the icon to display in the world (and on the command map) is specified on the info_objective entity. Their position in the world, just like the spawn masters, determine the objective position on the command map. An info_objective has been placed under each of the four objectives

Info_objective entities provide objective information to the player such as;

  • The objective description the player will see in the limbo menu and in game.
  • The icon to display in the world
  • The icon and objective number on the command map

Their lateral position in the world determine the objective position on the command map. An info_objective has been placed for each of the four objectives in the example map. Their vertical position is not important, but for neatness just place them somewhere easily selectable.

Common entity keys

These are common entity key pairs across all info_objectives in all ETQW maps.

  • icon_size_cm 24
Size of objective type icon on command map
  • icon_size_number_cm 24
Size of objective number icon on command map
  • icon_offset_cm 8 8 0
Offset of objective type icon on command map

And since strogg defend this map, they will get defend icons for each info_objective;

  • mtr_objective_strogg hud/icons/missionsystem/obj_defend

Worldspawn keys

The info_objective entities require the following worldspawn keys;

  • "script_obj1_marker" info_objective_1.
  • "script_obj2_marker" info_objective_2.
  • "script_obj3_marker" info_objective_3.
  • "script_obj4_marker" info_objective_4.
