Help changing axis spawn points in The Hunt

[G3mInI]

I am trying to create a server side mod where the axis spawn points are changed to all being spawned in the church. I have created a script which puts all the origins in the church area but still the axis are spawning in the usual spots. What more do I need to add to this script to make it work. Do I need to block the original spawn points ? Here is what I have now...

Code: Select all

// THE HUNT
// ARCHITECTURE: NED/STEVE
// SCRIPTING: NED and lots of help from ZIED

main:


	setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "- Find and destroy" 
	setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "the Flak 88 cannon"
	setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""

	setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "- Defend the Flak 88"
	setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "cannon"
	setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" " "

	setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "objdm1"

It just does not seem to be working and I am not sure why.

Well, you arent moving them, you are just spawning new spawns, thus getting a bigger chance of the axis spawning in the church...

But fear not, I've already made a sever side mod that moves the player spawns in The Hunt ( /forum/viewtopic.php?t=7208 ). It does not put them in the church, but it combines moving the front 4 axis spawns into the graveyard, and all Allied spawns a bit further up the road ( this creates about the same effect as you are after I guess ). Just modify my code if you want to put them in the church ( but I think that is a bit to radical, and may just hand the unfair advantage over to the allies, making the map unbalanced again ).

Thank you very much!

And yes all I was trying to do was equal out the map... as we all know axis has way too much of an advantage as is. And yes the 4 front spawns moved will do just fine...once again thanks!

Try removing the original ones ($spawn_axis1 disablespawn) and creating your spawn points as entities. Then enable your spawn points after you create the origins. ($spawn_axis1 enablespawn)

Well, I dont think you can, because the spawns are dont have any targetname "spawn_axis1", so $spawn_axis1 will return a NULL entity
