How to TP a player to the spawn ?

[DJlive34]

Hi, I just wondered if someone knew how to TP a player back to the spawn

function TP_To_Spawn(player)
if player:IsPlayer() then
player:SetPos(ents.FindByClass("info_player_spawn")[math.random(1,#ents.FindByClass("info_player_spawn"))]:GetPos())
end
end

That's a terrible solution because it doesn't take into account what entity the player uses as spawnpoints.

You mean the angle/vector?

How do you use it exactly ?

[Gedo789]

In a lua file somewhere in your addons's folder

Something like this?

local spawn = GM:PlayerSelectSpawn( ply )
ply:SetPos( spawn:GetPos() )

local spawn = GM:PlayerSelectSpawn( ply )
ply:SetPos( spawn:GetPos() )

[/QUOTE]

Can I use this in the shared file ?

would b really weird if you would, i dont think you want to use SetPos on the player clientsided.

Ideally, you should use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/gamemode/Call]gamemode.Call[/url] (or [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/hook/Call]hook.Call[/url] if there is no GM:* function) to do this, as it supports hooks added through hook.Add. Also, that code won't work if it is not in a gamemode file because the GM table is not available after the gamemode has initialized.

You guys are over complicating this, there's a neat method called [B]player:Spawn()[/B]
It skips the death hook and triggers the spawning hook so other addons can displace the player if needed.

But it also resets all of his stats.
If you run ply:Spawn() on a poisoned ignited player with 23 hp and no weapons on (modded) Sandbox, he'll have 100hp and the default weapons.
