How would I check to see when a player spawns?

Can you set runspeed on a player like you can with scale and gravity?

I need to wipe off the modding rust

Glueing a trigger to a player and waiting for it to be triggered is an option... might be easiers ways but I'm not aware of a fully functioning one.

Runspeed can be set via weaponcommand (runspeed is a weapon property)

Isn't this going to be triggered all the time?

it depends what trigger it is

[lizardkid]

can;t you do this?

Code: Select all

spawn_listener:

for($player[local.i] = 1; $player[local.i] < 32; $player[local.i]++)
{
local.curPlayer = $player[local.i]

local.curPlayer waittill spawn
// code
}

? or is the player array something totally different?

[jv_map]

I don't think waittill spawn works for players

Jv, you are wrong. This doesn't work. You're using this in your bots and notice that the bots start spawning right after you choose the team, not after choosing the weapon and spawning physically. That's because the trigger is activated right after choosing the team and there's a direct jump from stage 2 to stage 3.

I badly need to know when a player spawns! Has anyone got an idea how to figure this out?

[Elgan]

well triggers at spawn points is what i used but i thought maybe have a trigger like jv said then have spawnednearly = 1

then when state land is reached they have spawned right?

Could you expand this a bit? What's this spawnedearly? How to use it?

Check the scanner scripting in The Canna LIB, especially player_scanner and the detect_player_status functions that jv_map helped me with.

[Rookie One.pl]

No, Bjarne, this is exactly the same issue as I described in my previous post - it will be triggered before you choose the weapon.

Elgan, expand it, please...

No I am not wrong the bots start spawning as soon as either team has any players, but that doesn't mean a trigger has been fired or a bug has been found ... the player triggers aren't used there...

However for the bots the trigger 'trick' is primarily responsible for making sure bots don't attack or folllow spectators.

[Rookie One.pl]

Whoops... I must have misread something... Well it appeared to me that the bots will spawn after somebody has physically spawned. Dangit, must look into it more carefully...
<EDIT>Nah, I tell you, this doesn't work! Here's my thread:

Code: Select all

waitTillJoinGame:
   while (self.dmteam == "spectator" || !isAlive(self))
      waitframe
   local.trigger = spawn trigger_multiple origin self.origin
   local.trigger setsize ( -16 -16 -16 ) ( 16 16 16 )
   local.trigger waittill trigger
   self thread global/enemyterritory/class_handler.scr::determineClass
   self thread waitTillDeath
end

The determineClass thread reads the weapon the player's carrying and gives him a new, class-specific loadout, but it's called right at the moment of choosing a team... Aaargh!!! </EDIT>
