role qunue with ranks
as of 04/14/24 i have taken the elemental overwatch i have created and decided to use that code to create an alternate gamemode
this game mode like elemental overwatch uses elements however it does not make any direct changes to individual heroes. (cooldowns and ammo) i will no longer be attempting to make changes to heroes directly because blizzard keeps reworking and adding new heroes all the time. as a result it breaks mods that make changes to heroes. it also forces mod authors to have to go back in and add new code for new heroes. this can get tedious and frustrating.
i put most of what people need to know in the discription of my mode i designed. this code uses no one elses work it is purely mine. as a novice coder overwatch 2 workshop to me is a creative outlet. and i dont mind sharing MY WORK with others so they can enjoy it.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE WORK OF A MOD AUTHOR AND CLAIM CREDIT FOR YOURSELF IT IS WRONG. MOD AUTHORS WORK HARD AND SPEND HOURS DAYS WEEKS OR MORE TO MAKE CONTENT. THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS KEEP THE CREDIT FOR THEIR HARD WORK.
WHAT THIS GAME MODE IS
basically you start with a role and a rank that is named. there are 5 ranks for each role. you may only switch to heroes of your assigned role. you can see what anothers rank is above their head. THIS MODE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AS A PVP YET. I HAVE ONLY TESTED IT AGAINST BOTS. USE AGAINST OTHER PLAYERS WITH CAUTION
SUMMARY AT BOTTOM IF YOU DONT WANT ALL THE DETAILS
--BASICS--
if you pick damager the ranks are noob,veteran,elite,commando,noob hunter
if you pick tank the ranks are fodder,defender,champion,boss,raid boss
if you pick support the ranks are ez kill,medic,combat medic,pro medic,an immortal
you rank up and earn gold by playing your role
damagers do damage. hitting barriers does not contribute
tanks take damage. barriers do not contribute
supports heal others or self
--EXTENDED FEATURE 1--
spend your gold using controls on screen to get 1 of the 2 buyable powers you can get with your role. bots will not auto spend and this is intentional since they have other advantages and work on a different set of rules then players by default in custom matches.
if you die 3 or more times and your deaths are greater then your eliminations YOUR ELEMENT will activate. it will remain active until your eliminations exceed your deaths. you can use the scoreboard to keep track of your deaths but i use a seperate variable to track your deaths. this variable DOES NOT include deaths you attain from jumping off the edge or killing yourself. sorry no free element gains for you hehe. you must die at the hands of another.
the more unspent gold you have up to 30k the stronger some elements become
if an entire team has died 3 or more times and all their eliminations are lower the extended clock will begin to count down. during this time glowing elemental players will start to appear on that team. elements are permenant for them. be warned elementals are strong and glowing elementals are very strong.
--EXTENDED FEATURE 2--
assuming your team is not the one beginning to glow you can get benefits for being on fire based on YOUR ROLE.
if your damager you get bonus gold.
if your tank you get aoe damage.
if your support you can give everyone including yourself on your team extra hp. this is permenant.
if you are no longer onfire you will no longer be able to do the things i just listed here. YOU MUST BUY SOMETHING BEFORE YOU CAN USE YOUR ONFIRE POWERS
--SUMMARY--
this mode is designed to be a role qunue mode with bots or players and is still A WORK IN PROGRESS until fauther notice.
the purpose of it is for players to play in a 5v5 and be rewarded for playing their role not for getting kills. my previous mode elemental overwatch rewarded people more for killing. this could make no one want to play support or if they did try to kill more then do heals. but not here. not in this mode. if your a healer you only rank up and get gold if you heal. killing isnt nessicary.
just do your role and you will get what you need to win. THIS MODE IS DESIGNED TO BE CHALLENGING IN SOME GAMES ITS OKAY TO LOSE. the bots are gonna be harder some games then others. this is intentional. element combinations can be very nasty ahahahahaha. BUT IT IS WINNABLE. I HAVE TESTED IT AND I HAVE BEATEN BOTS ON HARD DIFFICULTY WITH ME AND 4 BOTS AGAINST 5. and i have done it with all 3 roles. so its not too hard ha ha. just lower bot difficulty if you need an easier match.
