I'm alittle confused about the setObjectiveText function in the function "onStartGameType" for each gametype. Some of the references defined for TDM are" REFERENCE OBJ_WAR REFERENCE OBJ_WAR_SCORE REFERENCE OBJ_WAR_HINT ...but the setObjectiveText function calls these references: &"OBJECTIVES_WAR" &"OBJECTIVES_WAR_SCORE" &"OBJECTIVES_WAR_HINT" and the function doesn't remove "OBJECTIVES" and define "OBJ" as shown: setObjectiveText( team, text ) { game["strings"]["objective_"+team] = text; precacheString( text ); }

the & sign is a pointer, so probably &OBJECTIVE_WAR points to OBJ_WAR in the .str file (that's not as simple as a pointer works, but basically that is what it does).

I think i figured it out.... The pointer &"OBJECTIVES_WAR" actually defines the filename objectives.str and string reference WAR. In file objectives.str this is defined: REFERENCE WAR LANG_ENGLISH "Gain points by eliminating enemy players."

Mclark you got it. This is how the files work. To call on the string, it would be like this. iprintln(&"STRINGS_PLAYERNAME"); The .str file will be called strings.str and then inside would be a reference such as this: REFERENCE PLAYERNAME LANG_ENGLISH "Playername" Hope this clears you up.
Few tips for coding. 1. Keep the script as short as possable. 2. Don't use comments unless you HAVE to point something out. 3. Don't over complicate the script, keep it orgainized and easy to read. These help you find simple errors and makes it easy to make changes.
