So I've been pondering how I want to set up certain traps or events for a map, and I thought of something I think would make the system pretty unique, but I'm pretty sure it's impossible (with the current entities that is). It also would have plenty of potential for use on tons of other maps as well.
What about some sort of entity, possibly ttt_credit_manager or something to that effect that allows for a button (or other form of input that designates an !activator) to send to that entity an output of "GiveCredits" that can give or take credits from the activator of a button/trigger/whatever. It could rely on a parameter value which could be negative to take credits or positive to give credits to the traitor. It would of course only function if it was a traitor who was the !activator. If the traitor did not have enough credits it could make a message pop up for them saying "Insufficient credits" and if they did have enough it would cause the ttt_credit_manager to fire an output of OnTrigger so you could tell when a traitor payed the toll. This then allows for traps that cost a credit (making huge one time use traps that have a lot of potential more balanced) and making certain map-specific things that can give a large tactical advantage to a traitor if they sacrifice a credit. Not to mention, allowing for traitors to be rewarded with a credit if they complete a traitor specific task.

This sounds quite interesting. I'd definitely like to test this out if of course BKU deems it useful and implements it.

Would be very interesting if map makers would use it :P

Should be pretty easy to do.
I won't make the entity deal with stuff like "insufficient credits" messages, instead it'll fire an output you can hook up yourself.

I've added the entity. There's some documentation in the mapping guide, but it's pretty straightforward.
