Using Capture Area Devices

The Capture Area device is a zone that can trigger effects once players enter it. It can be set up to be capturable by a team, to provide a score while held, or to require a specific item as a drop-off.

The main form of interaction with the capture area is for a player to step inside the zone. It can also trigger based on players dropping an item in the zone if you set the options to do that.

Depending on the options you customize, you can cause events to occur based on whether players step inside or if they stay inside for a certain length of time. There are several ways you can use the Capture Area:

• The capture area can be used as an item capture device, such as for Capture the Flag games. When you drop an item onto the device in Create mode, the item can be set to require players to interact with this device.
• The capture area can hold one item. If an item is held, the Item Filter option determines whether players need the item in question to interact with the device. You can drop a new item to replace the one currently in the device.
• The capture area can be used as a periodic scoring device. While within the area, players can gain a certain amount of score for every defined time period.
• The capture area can be used as a control point that is owned by a team and capturable by other teams. You can set how control of the area is gained and lost by teams.
