Hello everyone.
I need some adives/help, I am trying to make a game from scratch and I've been thinking how to do this..
I just want a explanation or some tips how to do it, so I want a group of players to capture a part of the map, like area by area. For example a "x" of players get in that certain part of area, and it will active on the enemy faction something like "Your area is being capture, hurry and go defend it", so the players already in the area to capture it have "y" time but when enemy faction enters in that area, time will reset until the enemy faction gets defeated. It's like as long no1 is in that area except capturing team the time will always active or actived.
When captured area, it will belong to capture team. Hope you guys understood my idea, expecting some tips.

if you are trying about territory wars then
datum/TeamDatum//Datum
    var//var
        name="no name"//name
        Owner="No One"//Owner
        list/Members=list()//list of Members

obj/Supplemental/CapBar//Flag Bar
    icon='CapBar.dmi'//icon
    icon_state="0"//Icon_state

mob/var/datum/TeamDatum/Team=null
obj/TerritoryFlag//create a new obj
    icon='Flags.dmi'//icon
    icon_state="Black"//icon_state
    var/Owner//Define Owner
    var/Color//Define Team Color
    var/datum/Clan/ClanDatum
    var/obj/RGBable/Flag/FlagColor=new()//create new RGBable Flag
    proc/ColorFlag()//proc
        var/icon/I2=new(initial(src.FlagColor.icon))//its real Flag icon
        if(src.Color)   I2.Blend(src.Clan)//if there is color then Blend I2 with Color
        src.FlagColor.icon=I2//Change the icon to Blended icon
    New(var/NewLoc)
        var/obj/Supplemental/CapBar/CapBar=new(src.loc)// create new CapBar at same place at flag
        var/CapPercent=0//new defined var for CapBar
        spawn() while(1)//Spawn then while world is on it will keep looping
            for(var/mob/M in oview(1,src)) //any mob standing right next to it
                if(!M.Team) continue // if it havent got team leve it and find new one
                if(M.Team.name!=src.Owner)//if standing next to it isnt Flag Owner
                    CapPercent+=1// Increase Cap Percent
                    if(CapPercent>=100)//ifCapPercent get to 100
                        world<<"[TWTag] [M] Captured [src.x],[src.y] for {[M.Team.name]}"// tell every one
                        src.ClanDatum=M.Team//set its Team
                        src.Owner=M.Team.name//Set it Owner to Team Name
                        src.Color=M.Team.Color//Set it Color to Team Color
                        src.ColorClanFlag()//Reapply Color
                        CapPercent=0//Set CapPercent to 0
                else    CapPercent=0 // if Player Standing Next to it is Flag Owner team member Dont do any thing
                CapBar.icon_state="[round(CapPercent/100*31)]"//Set CapBar icon_state
            sleep(1)//sleep for 1 milisec
        return ..()//return it
obj/RGBable/Flag//new RGBable Flag
    icon='RGBFlag.dmi'//icon

and you will have to do most of the bits and peices on your own

Essentially you can use the /area prototype for...defining the separate areas on the map. Then you can just develop functions as necessary to keep track of the players inside, etc...

Enter(), Entered(), Exit(), Exited(), and several other functions will help you with keeping track of the players inside of an area. The contents var will also be handy.
