Controling respawns in MP?

Post by **Bjarne BZR** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 11:13 pm

Is it possible to control respawning in any more axact way than activating/deactivating spawns during play?

What I want to do is:
1) Force players to respawn within X seconds.
2) Prevent players from respawning within Y seconds.

isn't respawn time set when you start a mp game ?

I think you can set

g_forcerespawn 1

Hmm... yes... forcerespawn rings a bell

So if I set that from my script I should all be set then... is there a

Code: Select all

g_forcerespawnwithin X

..as well?

cant u do something like

local.respawn == 1
wait 2
local.respawn == 0

if(local.respawn == 1){
dm_respawning 1
else
dm_respawning 0
}

well, that kind of idea, i bet that scripting is wrong.

Yeah you can do that too, but it's hard to get it to work correctly.. especially as you need at least 2 players for testing all the time

A thought: Coulden't you set forcerespawn and then just freeze the player X seconds at respawn by using the thread parameter on all info_player_XXX spawnpoints to call a timed freeezing thread when respawning?

Nope, I don't think the 'thread' property of spawn positions works

That figures...
