[help] Carepackage timelimit

I was wondering if anyone knew how to alter how long a carepackage lasts for before disappearing.

nefq89wpenvo I don't have time to look for it right now but I think you can find something in the airdrop.gsc file.

I found this function that could be what you're looking for https://github.com/chxseh/MW3-GSC-Dump/blob/e191fe256924bdd1cf9597e48be4ea335f01e724/_wii-gsc-dump/maps/mp/killstreaks/_airdrop.gsc#L882

I think a carepackage default time limit is 90 seconds. When searching 90 I found this:

//deletes if crate wasnt used after 90 seconds
dropTimeOut( dropCrate, owner, crateType )
{
level endon ( "game_ended" );
dropCrate endon( "death" );

if ( dropCrate.dropType == "nuke_drop" )
	return;	

maps\mp\gametypes\_hostmigration::waitLongDurationWithHostMigrationPause( 90.0 );

while ( dropCrate.curProgress != 0 )
	wait 1;

dropCrate deleteCrate();

}

I feel bad asking when I know basically nothing about gsc but would this be all I need to edit?

nefq89wpenvo I don't know much about GSC myself but you probably need to replace that function (instead of writing inside the file directly)
I have an example here https://github.com/Resxt/Plutonium-IW5-Scripts/blob/main/disable_nuke_effects/disable_nuke_effects_vision.gsc

I copy/pasted the original function and replaced it with my own which is a copy with some things changed/removed

This way it keeps the original behavior with your setting/behavior on top of it instead of modifying game files

You could try replacing the func and replacing 90 then yes
