Problem description:Every time theres a winning team in CTF, each player has to wait their turn to choose their prize. Is there a way for everyone to get the input prize choices at the same time instead of having to wait until someone else chooses it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Use spawn() CTFPrizes(R). spawn() starts the process on a separate thread or something like that, allowing you to do that.
#2 Jul 24 2012, 1:08 am
for(var/mob/R in Red)
spawn(10) CTFPrizes(R).spawn()

So like that?

or like

CTFPrizes(R).spawn(10)?

Start looking into the reference when you see a built-in proc that you're unfamiliar with, you might actually learn something every once and awhile.

No. None of those. You don't need to insert a time for the spawn(), it'll take null.

spawn() CTFPrizes(R/B)
