Custom Spawnpoints, Help?

[MiiChael]

Hey everyone,

Currently im trying to get players to another location when they spawn and somehow i cant get it to work.
could someone check this piece of code to see if im doing anything wrong?
its for a gamemode ^^

function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
    self.BaseClass:PlayerSpawn(ply)
    if (ply:Team() == 0) then
                ply:SetPos(Vector(7165, -10800, -8988)) --Area on a map of mine
                ply:SetAngles ( Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) ) 
    elseif (ply:Team() == 1) then
                ply:SetPos(Vector(9415, 10845, 830))
                ply:SetAngles ( Angle( 0, 180, 0 ) )
    elseif (ply:Team() == 2) then
                ply:SetPos(Vector(9415, 10845, 830))
                ply:SetAngles ( Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) )
    elseif (ply:Team() == 3) then
                ply:SetPos(Vector(9415, 10845, 830))
                ply:SetAngles ( Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) ) 
    elseif (ply:Team() == 4) then
                ply:SetPos(Vector(9415, 10845, 830))
                ply:SetAngles ( Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) ) 
    end
end

if someone could fix me up with a solution, that would be totally awesome, as im stuck now and cant do a damn thing before this gets fixed.. xD

Peace,

Thanks, ill give it a try. :D
does this also work when a player spawns for the first time? like after joining?
Possible to insert vectors? like my example above?

i figured it out.. ^^
this is my code now:
[lua]
function GM:PlayerSelectSpawn( pl )
if (ply:Team() == 0) then
return Vector(7165, -10800, -8988)
-- ply:SetPos(Vector(7165, -10800, -8988)) --Area on a map of mine
-- ply:SetAngles ( Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) )
elseif (ply:Team() == 1) then
return Vector(9415, 10845, 830)
-- ply:SetPos(Vector(9415, 10845, 830))
-- ply:SetAngles ( Angle( 0, 180, 0 ) )
end
end
[/lua]

some how it places me WAY OFF the given vector, do i need to make them toLocal or toWorld?? (if these are wrong, blame E2 :P)

mhmm my last post contains some mistakes, forgot to change pl into ply xP

so changed it and it just spawns me at a different place then intended, any other suggestion then just a smiley face :P
thx

Well, maybe try:
[lua]

function SpawnPosition( ply )
if ply:Team( ) == 1 then
ply:SetPos( Vector( -10681, 10396, 551 ) )
elseif ply:Team( ) == 2 then
ply:SetPos( Vector( -9662, 10451, 517 ) )
end
end
[/lua]

Then under: function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply ) do
[lua]
SpawnPosition( ply )
[/lua]

Worked for me at least some weeks ago.

[MiiChael]

Yeah that code worked for me 2 days ago, n now im having no luck at all :(

soo what the hell is wrong :S

side idea: maybe i can create entities that auto-load with the map on a given vector n then let GM:PlayerSelectSpawn define the ents where what team should start?

like this?[lua]
function GM:PlayerSelectSpawn( pl )
if (ply:Team() == 0) then
return ents.FindByClass( "info_player_start" )
elseif (ply:Team() == 1) then
return ents.FindByClass( "info_player_custom_start" )
end
end
[/lua]

will any thing like that even work?

[Hugabuga]

Uh, there was a way using info_player_* but I can't remember how.

You could make basic point entities and place them on the map. Then use:
[lua]
team.SetSpawnPoint(1, "team_1_spawn" )
[/lua]

[MiiChael]

Didnt work either.. :( im out of ideas, please feel free to post a working solution.

Thanks

[cis.joshb]

Give us the code that you are using.

Use that code. It should work. Just make a point entity, and place it on the map.

[xomaxhox]

If you think its the Vectos that might be wrong, then go back to that position and type "getpos" into console and that will retun your current Vector position and Angles

Also I know in the FortWars Light gamemode they made som extra spawnpoints as point entities, so then you could either use them if you are making a map (I presume not), or use a GM:Initialize hook to spawn them on map load

[MiiChael]
