Summary
One HVT for the whole server: get 8 kills in a row and your area shows on everyone's map. Kill the HVT to go up 2 ranks. Server config, no scenario changes.
Description
WHISKEY HIGH VALUE TARGET
One player on the whole server is the High Value Target. Hunt him down for a promotion, or survive as long as you can.
HOW IT WORKS
- Get 8 enemy kills in a row without dying and you become the HVT.
- There is only ONE HVT for all factions. If others reach 8 kills while there is already an HVT, they wait in line in the order they got there. When the HVT dies, the first one in line who is still alive (streak not lost) becomes the next HVT.
- The HVT gets a short "YOU ARE THE HVT" message with a sound. Nobody else gets a message: they only see the zone on the map.
SERVER SETTINGS
The first start makes WhiskeyHVT/config.txt in the server profile folder.
One setting per line: Key = Value. Lines starting with # are notes.
Edit the file, then restart the server.
On / off settings accept: true / false (also 1 / 0, yes / no, on / off).

true = the HVT system runs, false = off.

Enemy AI killed count for the streak. true / false.
(If both are false, nobody can become the HVT.)

false = a new zone on him at every check.
ShowCountdown = true

RankReward = 2
Ranks up for the player who kills the HVT. 0 = no reward.

Seconds the "YOU ARE THE HVT" message stays on the HVT's screen. 1 or more.
