Extra regions

An arena can carry any number of extra regions: boxes selected the same way the playable region is, stored on the arena, cloned along with it. On their own they do nothing. They become meaningful once a kit assigns them a role.

Target and home

At the start of every match, each player gets their own view of the arena's extra regions, worked out from where they spawn:

With exactly one extra region, everybody shares it as their target and nobody has a home. With two, the players spawning at opposite ends get mirrored roles automatically — one player's target is the other player's home.

What each role does

Home is a wall. Walking into your own home region teleports you straight back to your spawn. It exists so a player cannot camp their own objective.

Target fires the ENTER_FAR_AWAY_EXTRA_REGION special condition. Whatever that condition is set to on the kit — add a point, lose a point, die — happens when the player steps into the far region.

Setting them up

/epc → Manage Arenas → an arena → Extra Regions. Adding one opens the selection wizard; the list screen removes them. They are stored with generated ids of the form practice_arena_<id>_extra_<n> and no name of their own.

Protecting them

The arena's extra region protection radius stops blocks being placed or broken within that many blocks of every extra region's centre — the counterpart of spawn protection, for kits that allow building.

In clones

Extra regions are offset and re-registered with every clone, under practice_arena_<id>_clone_<n>_extra_<i>. Roles are recomputed per match from each player's actual spawn in that instance, so a clone behaves identically to the original.
