//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The server has started up so do some game start up
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

//This file implements game mode logic for an Example gamemode. The primary functions:
//ExampleGameMode::onMissionStart
//ExampleGameMode::onMissionReset
//ExampleGameMode::onMissionEnd
//Are the primary hooks for the server to start, restart and end any active gamemodes
//onMissionStart, for example is called from core/clientServer/scripts/server/levelLoad.cs
//It's called once the server has successfully loaded the level, and has parsed
//through any active scenes to get GameModeNames defined by them. It then iterates
//over them and calls these callbacks to envoke gamemode behaviors. This allows multiple
//gamemodes to be in effect at one time. Modules can implement as many gamemodes as you want.
//
//For levels that can be reused for multiple gammodes, the general setup would be a primary level file
//with the Scene in it having the main geometry, weapons, terrain, etc. You would then have subScenes that
//each contain what's necessary for the given gamemode, such as a subScene that just adds the flags and capture
//triggers for a CTF mode. The subscene would then have it's GameModeName defined to run the CTF gamemode logic
//and the levelLoad code will execute it.

//This function is called when the level finishes loading. It sets up the initial configuration, variables and
//spawning and dynamic objects, timers or rules needed for the gamemode to run
function ExampleGameMode::onMissionStart()
{
   //set up the game and game variables
   ExampleGameMode::initGameVars();

      $Game::Schedule = schedule($Game::Duration * 1000, "onGameDurationEnd");
      
   $Game::Running = true;
   
   $Game = ExampleGameMode;
}

//This function is called when the level ends. It can be envoked due to the gamemode ending
//but is also kicked off when the game server is shut down as a form of cleanup for anything the gamemode
//created or is managing like the above mentioned dynamic objects or timers
function ExampleGameMode::onMissionEnded()
{
   if (!$Game::Running)
   {
      error("onMissionEnded: No game running!");
      return;

//This function is called in the event the server resets and is used to re-initialize the gamemode
function ExampleGameMode::onMissionReset()
{
   // Called by resetMission(), after all the temporary mission objects
   // have been deleted.
   ExampleGameMode::initGameVars();
}

//This sets up our gamemode's duration time
function ExampleGameMode::initGameVars()
