Team seat up on each different map

[HumulusLupulu]

Hey guys. So i really need help with setting up the teams for my gamemode. So for some maps i want to be just one team like free for all(just 1 team), and for other maps 2 teams like team deathmatch. If anybody could help me with this. It would be great.

Best regards,

[lua]
local maps = {
gm_flatgrass = "TDM",
gm_construct = "FFA"
}

function GM:CreateTeams()
if maps[game.GetMap()] == "TDM" then
-- Team Deathmatch teams
elseif maps[game.GetMap()] == "FFA" then
-- Free For All teams
end
end[/lua]

Allows for infinite map and gametype expansion.

 if maps[game.GetMap()] == "TDM" then

Can you explain the [game.GetMap()] part I do not fully understand. Specifically the "[ and the ]"

[Jarva]

game.GetMap() returns the name of the current map, so we're searching the table for the key of the current map and it returns the value. The square brackets contain the key.

[lua]
local example = {
1 = "One",
2 = "Two"
}
print(example[1], example[2]) -- Prints "One" and "Two"
[/lua]
