Is it possible to do the following:

I am finalizing one of my maps that we use for fun. Each team tries to place the tnt in the other team's base. We really enjoy the map but I would like one final thing done do it.

I want the tnt to be glowing when it's dropped or on the ground. I also would like to have the player who has the tnt to have a nice glowing icon above his head :)

There is an option in the dod opbject's properties to have a sprite above the player's head, but I have yet to get that to work.

If anyone can point me into the right direction as what entities I should use, I would greatly appreciate it.

hmm... very little is said about dod here...
lucky for you, i have mapped for dod once and played with the triggers.

I'll look into this for you and see what i can come up with.

Actually, Mr. Andy is a DoD mapper, he might know. You'll need to be patient to see him though.

Umm,
A lot of the options available in the fdg's were originally added, but removed or made non functional at some stage of development.
If you remember back to DoD 3, you had that ability to self heal with a med kit. That was removed in 3.1 as well as a heap of other stuff.
This doesn't mean you can't have glowing icons, or tnt... but I am guessing that you will need to change the code.
The tnt is an object, as you know, but without changing the code I cannot see how you could get it to behave like that.
As for the Icons, I haven't seen them since Dod 3, so maybe they were removed as well? But the sprites are all there...
Have you tried MardyMouse?
