How would they work?

Make them cheap in the !shop or free with a !command, and spawn in right in front of you.

?

I don't know what kind of load they would have on the server if spammed, or what their default despawn timeout is; I just want to be able to punt a ball around with folks whenever, and not just when the RNG gods bless us with a ball in spawn :)
 
no, what i ment was how would the footballs work :P

This doesn't actually make it any clearer, lol - unless you don't know that the balls can spawn randomly and that you can melee them..?

I'm not asking for a scoring system or anything fancy; just the ability to spawn the balls that already appear on command.

You can crash servers with enough entities/edicts. 2048 is the limit. If we take the deathrun server for example, those sorts of maps are always near the limit as they are. Might be fine on 2fort where movement of the map is next to none, but unless the limit on the server is higher than 1, I doubt this'll be getting added.

Thanks for the technical information, I wondered what the limits were. Ah well - there go my dreams of punting balls across the water in 2fort!
