Possible to make maps work in only one mode?

[TheDesert_Fox]

Let's say I wanted to make a map that was specifically made for S&D. Is it possible to make it run only that and make TDM/FFA as well since they're very simple?

I was thinking of making a map that ran a sort of changed S&D... both sides have a bomb and plant site. The bomb is automatically placed at each one with the same timer at the start of the round. First to defuse the enemy bomb wins.

You can do that. You only have to add one gametype for a map to be playable.

That's more scripting than mapping. Your best bet would be to look at the Sabotage and Search & Destroy gametype files in the /raw/maps/mp/gametypes/ (assuming you have downloaded and installed the mod tools), labeled sab and sd. Might even want to look into the Domination gametype files, so you could set the teams to be neither "attacking" nor "defending", but both.

I think this is a good idea, myself. I'd really like to help you, but I don't know much.

i like the idea of the bombs being planted at the start and the first to defuse wins. only problem would be how long to make the timer cause u may end up with short games unless u make the timer the entire round so they have till ne dof game to defuse.

@Spik3d, I'd be glad for any help, since I'm pretty new to mapping as well outside Warcraft 3 and Supreme Commander.

@teh cronic, it'd require testing, but probably 5 minutes or so for the timer.
