CTF "auto attack/defend" mode #35

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

This is something that might be better as a Starmash/etc plugin

When playing Tornado defence in CTF, it is often the case that when the flag is lost and you pursue and die, you always want to change plane as quickly as possible to pred just until flag is returned, after which Tornado duties resume

It would be nice if client or server automated this somehow, say as a '/autodefend' command or something.

Right now if I get killed during pursuit, I must respawn as tornado and lose another 2 seconds before getting into pred. Would it be fair if that respawn happened directly into a pred?

Obvious alternative answer: start idling the tornado as soon as flag is lost, and respawn as pred immediately rather than waiting to die first, but this is not the natural compulsion

People would have take advantage of this while carrying flag, just to be annoying they would change planes every time they've been hit.
