King of the Hill -- Starting with the idea....

Before I go any further, don't tell me this is incomplete. I know, I'm just trying to get ideas as I go through.

Code:

symbols

sector  hill1-1  linkid=1
sector  hill1-2  linkid=1
sector  hill1-3  linkid=1
sector  hill1-4  linkid=1
sector  hill1-5  linkid=1
sector  hill2-1  linkid-2
sector  hill2-2  linkid=2
sector  hill2-3  linkid=2
sector  hill2-4  linkid=2
sector  hill2-5  linkid=2

int 	current_hill 	local
int	team_tint    	local
int	old_hill	local
int	lock_capture	local

# Timers
#  6000 = Captured

end

code

Entered:

  If(lock_caputure == 1) Return;
  If(GetSenderID() == current_hill)
     {
	GetPlayerTeam(GetSourceRef());
	SetSectorTint(current_hill, team_tint);	
	lock_capture = 1;
	SetTimerEx(20, 6000, 0, 0);
	SetTimerEx(2, 6001, 0, 0);
	SetPulse(1);
	Return;
     }

Timer:

  If(GetSenderID() == 6000)
     {
  	SetPulse(0);
  	Call captured_hill;
  	Return;
     }
  If(GetSenderID() == 6001)
     {
	//Check to see if current capturers are still alive & there
	//Check to see if enemy team is also (reset counter if so?)

captured_hill:

//add score to team

//move the hill	 
   old_hill = current_hill;
   current_hill = Rand() * 5;
   //Set Hill to current_hill linkid

All I need to know is if I have the right idea with the use of linkid and GetSenderID...and whether the route I'm going will allow this to work or not. For more info on what I'm talking about, see my "King Of The Hill -- multisector" post on this board.
