Gift Hunt

Gift Hunt is an optional miniature game mode included in Fortress Blast, inspired by Gem Hunt and Gem Collection from PlatinumQuest. It was introduced in version 2.0 of the plugin, but was updated in version 3.0 to improve map support. Gift Hunt is only available on maps that have an associated .json file in the folder.

In Gift Hunt, small gifts appear randomly around a map. The mission of each team is to collect a certain number of gifts, which allows capture of all objectives on the map. Above gifts are sprites that can be seen through some walls, allowing gifts to be found quicker. The number of gifts required to unlock the objective can vary between servers and player counts. If all the gifts on the map have been collected, more will appear.

The following map game modes are natively supported by Gift Hunt:


 * Capture the Flag: Enemy intelligence appears transparent and cannot be picked up unless the gift goal is met.
 * Control Points: Control points cannot be captured unless the gift goal is met, but can be blocked.
 * King of the Hill: Same as Control Points.
 * Payload Race: Payload carts cannot be pushed unless the gift goal is met, but can be blocked.

The number of gifts required is controlled by three ConVars:  which contains the base value,   which specifies when the goal should increase, and   which specifies how much it should increase by. Another ConVar is used for determining how many gifts should be dropped each spawn event, namely.
