Random Spawn

Post by Bobo »

Hello

I am trying to get random spawning in multiplayer mode. I read and search on this forum, and tried putting a few "info/player/start" on the map, then tried info/player/(german and allied) this didn't work, and I made sure they were off the ground a bit, and I tried some parameters in the "entity" window with no luck.

We are 6 that are playing "free for all" on multiplayer, and all I want to do is get us to spawn in random areas om a map that I created.

can someone help please

This has come up before I think...have you tried "deathmatch" as your first spawn then place in your axis and allied?

hmmmm...was looking for a tut and could not find one right now... :(

Well I tried General Death's idea with no luck. Maybe the reason it doesn't work is because I need other people in the game when I test it?.

This is the only info I'm missing to complete my map, I didn't think this was so difficult.

thanks anyways
will be looking forward to the tutorial

Oh....you havent tested this with others yet? You may not see the other spawn points come into play till others spawn. Just a thought I maybe way off track.

I've put in several deathmatch,axis and allied spawn points into maps I do. That way I have random spawn points for any type of play.

instead off putting info/player/start inside info/player/allied

put info/player/deathmatch inside info/player/allied
