.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Yes, that method will work in roundbased and objective for that matter.

For TDM and FFA this will work too -

I did a test using Rindogs script - I replaced the dummy with an orb tik so i could see it work. the origins were placing the block at foot level - So i moved them all up 40 units - and now they effectivley block spawning.

here all but one of the spawns are blocked in mohdm6 and trigger removes the blocks when players are near.

call from above waittill prespawn

i got it to work a long time ago. i made a ground only stalingrad

ya just

Code: Select all

exec global/global_spawn.scr::spawn_block_trigger  ( ORIGIN OF SPAWN )

you could also use wait exec
i dont see y you couldnt get it to work it worked fine for me

of course you need to have ringdogs thing save back in its original scr (global/global_spawn.scr)

and raising the trigger up a little wont do much to make it better only if you have your spawn origin set wrong you will need to raise that up.

i dont really get why your steeling it out of his script and what your trying to do with it

considering it works fine if you do it right.

i pulled it out because it wasnt working for me. I was executing the global and I spawned everywhere. I had previously made it local and still spawned everywhere. wasnt till i raised the origins did it work for me. and the spawn origins are the same in the bsp no matter what u do.
maybe a moh version thing??

gotcha

if you look inside the spawnspots pk3 their is a scr of all the spawnspots for each map. take the thread disable tdm and disaable ffa spawns and all the execs in their should work. ya then dont need to get the locations yourself

ah, but that is where i got them and i compared them to bspview - all same. Like i said maybe its a version thing allows spawning near solid objects.

so i put them in spawn player center and it worked.

Thanks Rindog! great idea!

The idea of blocking spawns only at the beginning of the round I've implemented in FT and CTF. Rindog's mod was originally based off my old CTF code that blocked spawns in Stalingrad to keep enemy players from spawning near a team's base. For FT and RBM I block spawns on mohdm1, mohdm4, modhm6, and mohdm7 at the beginning of the round to keep players from opposite teams from spawning next to each other.

You should be spawning an invisible and solid object on the spawn you want to block, then just remove it or make it non-solid after X seconds into the round. The key is to keep the spawn blocks in an array so that you can access them later to remove them.

Or just give them targetnames. Thread it after waittill spawn and add a wait period.
