During the initial setup and planning phase of a mission, it may be helpful to prevent accidental friendly firing and team killing.

This component works by preventing players from damaging each other by setting players invulnerable for that time A timer will be displayed as a notification for all players during the start of a mission. The timer will count down until it reaches zero, then players will be able to resume firing.

Modifying the timer's values

Open the file description.ext, look for the following lines: Open description.ext and find the following text:

class f_param_mission_timer
{
    title = "$STR_f_param_mission_timer";
    values[] = {0,30,60,90,120,150,180,240,300,360,420,480,540,600,900};
    texts[] = {"$STR_f_param_mission_timer_off","0.5","1","1.5","2","2.5","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","15"};
    default = 60;
};

Changing the default timer value

In the above text, change the default value from 60 to any other value from the values[] array. This defines the number of seconds that the safe start is active. Note that the values can only be integers (whole numbers).

If you want to disable this component entirely, set the default value to 0.
