Enable/Disable Spawners and problems

[Slyk]

Ok, using this feature AGAIN in my latest map. What I have: Allied and Axis spawners tied to the OBJ switch. When the switch is flipped by the opposite team the spawns are disabled (this works). If the original team can 'reactivate'/flip the switch, SOMETIMES the spawners turn back on, but most of the time they don't. Any ideas/thoughts?? This feature is used in the Omaha objective map for the Allies and it is pretty straight forward. Is there an issues 'in-game' that can't be beat here???

I think there may be something wrong in your script. Can you post substantial parts here?

Here's the part for the allied spawner.....

//----------------------------------------------------------
// TAKE CONTROL OF OBJECTIVE 1 - - ALLIES SPAWNER
//----------------------------------------------------------
obj1:
if( parm.other.dmteam == allies )
{
if( $obj1.ControlledBy != 1 )
{
//Flip the switch
thread moveobj1

//Take the objective
$obj1 TakeOver 1
iprintln "The Allies have control of their HEADQUARTERS"
iprintln "The gallent defenders are receiving reinforcements!"

//Update team current objectives
thread set_objectives

waitthread Check_End_Match

}
}
else if( parm.other.dmteam == axis )
{
if( $obj1.ControlledBy != 0 )
{
//Flip the switch
thread moveobj1

//Take the objective
$obj1 TakeOver 0
iprintln "The Axis have control of ALLIED HEADQUARTERS"
iprintln "REINFORCEMENTS have been cut off to this sector!!"
iprintln "The Allies must regain their HQ to receive more assistance!!"

//Update team current objectives
thread set_objectives

waitthread Check_End_Match
}
}
end


//--------------------------------------------------------------
// Move the switch handle - OBJ1 - - ALLIED SPAWNER
//--------------------------------------------------------------
moveobj1:
$obj1_switch_trigger nottriggerable
$obj1switch bind $obj1_switch_origin
if( level.obj1switch_up == 1 )
{
$obj1_switch_origin speed 1.0
$obj1_switch_origin rotatezdownto 180
$obj1_switch_origin waitmove
$obj1_switch_origin playsound switchbox
level.obj1_switch_up = 2

$alliedspawner disablespawn

$obj1allies hide
$obj1axis show
}
else
{
$obj1_switch_origin speed 1.0
$obj1_switch_origin rotatezupto 0
$obj1_switch_origin waitmove
$obj1_switch_origin playsound switchbox
level.obj1_switch_up = 1

$alliedspawner enablespawn

$obj1allies show
$obj1axis hide
}
$obj1_switch_trigger triggerable
end

[jv_map]

if( level.obj1switch_up == 1 )

isn't that supposed to be

if( level.obj1_switch_up == 1 )

?

You would be correct..........

NOW, new issue on different map..........

was working perfectly, but obviously I screwed something up without knowing it. Here's the situation... Axis control 4 of 5 objectives, BUT as soon as you enter the game, the Axis automatically win, keeps doing this over and over every 5 seconds. I have all the objectives set up correctly. If I tweak the allied spawner 'setcurrent' it won't spawn ANY player for ANY team. I'm so tired of it and probably blind to the issue.

Here's that script:

main:
level.script="maps/obj/MP_GunAssault_TOW.scr"

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none"

level.gametype = int( getcvar( g_gametype ) )

//Exec our helper scripts
exec global/tow_dm.scr
exec global/ambient.scr MP_GunAssault_TOW


//gametype 5 = Tug of War
if( level.gametype == 5 )
{
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Defend the Transports!"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "Capture the Estate House"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "Capture the Old Ruins"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext4" "Control the Bunker"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext5" "Control Radio Room"

setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" "Hold the Old Ruins"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext4" "Control the Estate House"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext5" "Destroy Allied Transport"
}
else
