spawn Info_player_allied/axis

Is there anyway of spawning a
Info_player_allied/axis into a map.
I would like to add somes spawns to a compiled map. I can do it threw the bsp, but this involves removing something to add something.
Is it possible to spawn them before the
prespawn maybe like the way you would with a mg42, crate, etc....
Thanks

Any ideas of the working script?
would this work or do you know what needs changing?
local.player1 = spawn info_Player_allied
local.player1.origin = ( 111.00 111.00 111.00 )
local.player1.angles = ( 90 )
Could'nt seem to get anything to work last night.

Should be info_player_allied (or maybe _allies), for all that matters do not type player with a capital
Also angles should be a vector, i.e. (0 90 0)

Hi there Jv.
Here is what I use:
// For Allies
local.allied = spawn info_player_allied origin "xxx xxx xxx" angle x
// For Axis
local.axis = spawn info_player_axis origin "xxx xxx xxx" angle x
Make sure its before this line or else you may want to call it with a thread.
level waitTill prespawn

Remember, its just a game!! LOL

Both methods will work. The thing you must realize though, is that there are two different properties of an entity (angle and angles). Angles represent pitch, yaw and roll; whereas angle just represents Yaw. Since yaw is the only one that really applies to a spawn point, I prefer to use angle like WarTech did, but if you use angles then it has to be in vector form like JV_Map suggested.
Here's an example taken from Malta. Basically what I have is 3 different scenerios for Mefys Capture the Flag and based on the flag positions I change the spawn locations. It actually creates an array of spawn spots for each team and I used the indy crate to block the original spawns.
In the main script file for Malta I have the line:
Code: Select all
waitthread maps/dm/mapfixes/mp_malta_dm_fix.scr::main local.nextbase
And in the file maps/dm/mapfixes/mp_malta_dm_fix.scr
Code: Select all
main local.nextbase:
switch (local.nextbase)
{
case 0 : Waitthread spawn0
break
case 1 : Waitthread spawn1
break
case 2 : Waitthread spawn2
break
}
end
new_spawnspot local.team local.origin local.angle:
switch(local.team)
{
axis:
local.axis = spawn info_player_axis
local.axis.origin = local.origin
local.axis.angle = local.angle
break
allied:
local.allied = spawn info_player_allied
local.allied.origin = local.origin
local.allied.angle = local.angle
}
end
new_model local.model local.origin local.angles:
local.models = spawn script_model
local.models.model = local.model
local.models.origin = local.origin
local.models.angles = local.angles
local.models show
local.models solid
local.models nodamage
end

Great info Rindog
also great to see you posting here again

jv in your new botpack you managed to spawn pathnodes for the bots. could you do this same method to spawn spawnpoints? since this is AA and not SH or BT i figured it would be near impossible to do.
Posted: Sat May 01, 2004 6:54 am
by jv_map
Well it is very simple actually... just spawn the pathnodes or spawnpoints
before level waittill prespawn and you should be fine

here is the line i have right before prespawn and i still cannot get the spawnpoint to come up in the map for DV
local.allied = spawn info_player_allied origin "96.64 1037.86 22.57" angle -180
this is for AA. you sure it works?

Yes... I think that should work...
Posted: Sun May 02, 2004 8:12 pm
by MPowell1944
Well, it does not seem to be working for me. Possibility of you getting a single spawn in there and showing me how you get it to work? Would be appreciated.

Thanks for the warm welcome JV
I've been around, but I usually spend more time searching and reading than I do posting.
MPowell1944, Sitting_Duck has a mod at
http://wave.prohosting.com/uberduck/spawnmod.htm . Although written for SH, it has spawn spots added to DV.

Try this:
local.allied = spawn info_player_allied
local.allied.origin = ( 97 1038 23 )
local.allied.angle = 180
Here is a cute little script that will move players to a new location, right after they spawn in a sp map, depending on which team they join. It probably is not what you are looking for, but it shows you can spawn teleport triggers at the exsisting spawn points and move the spawner to a new spot.
Code: Select all
main:
level waittill prespawn
//*** Precache Dm Stuff
exec global/DMprecache.scr
exec global/ambient.scr mohdm7
thread tele1
thread tele2
thread teleport
level waittill spawn
end
teleport: //Teleport Player
local.tele = spawn trigger_multiple targetname "tele_trigger"
local.tele.origin = ( -8 -896 -56 )
local.tele setsize ( -32.00 -32.00 -4.00 ) ( 32.00 32.00 8.00 )
while (1)
{
$tele_trigger waittill trigger
local.player = parm.other
if (local.player.dmteam == "allies")
{
local.player tele $teled1
}
if (local.player.dmteam == "axis")
{
local.player tele $teled2
}
if (local.player.dmteam == "spectate")
{
end
}
wait .1
}
end
tele1: //Teleport dest 1 Allies
local.teledest = spawn func_teleportdest targetname "teled1"
local.teledest.origin = ( 416 32 -56 )
local.teledest setsize ( -32.00 -32.00 -4.00 ) ( 32.00 32.00 8.00 )
end
tele2: //Teleport dest 2 Axis
local.teledest = spawn func_teleportdest targetname "teled2"
local.teledest.origin = ( -416 32 -56 )
local.teledest setsize ( -32.00 -32.00 -4.00 ) ( 32.00 32.00 8.00 )
end
