et.GSpawn ?

Sort of relevant thread.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, I only touched on it and didn't persist in a solution.

i'm actually curious on that one too... haven't looked yet, but just so I have a place to look, how did you do it.

maybe its not that what u want...
i do this but its a bit a mess but for what i want it works

Code: Select all

function et_RunFrame&#40; levelTime &#41;
	for j = 0, &#40;mclients - 1&#41; do
    attacker = et.gentity_get&#40;j, "ps.persistant", 5&#41;
	if j ~= attacker then         -- the persistant return starts @ 0 if u have slot 0 theres a prob
      if &#40;attacker >= 0&#41; and &#40;attacker < 64&#41; then    -- falling dmg has 1022
	   if et.gentity_get&#40;attacker,"inuse"&#41; then

after that u can look up what weapon attacker is atteched to

You can spawn at default spawns and move a player after respawn to whatver u want location. This is tricky but works.

try this:

Code: Select all

tname = "set1_allies_8"	-- targetname of spawn

et_respawn&#40;&#41; -- pseudo code
&#123;
setspwn &#40;3, tname&#41;
&#125;

function setspwn &#40;point, name&#41;

for entnum = 64, 1021 do
    
        if et.gentity_get&#40;entnum, "targetname"&#41; == name then		
           oldspawnval = et.G_GetSpawnVar&#40; entnum, "spawnflags" &#41;
           newspawnval = point
           et.G_SetSpawnVar&#40; entnum, "spawnflags", newspawnval &#41;      
           spawnval = et.G_GetSpawnVar&#40; entnum, "spawnflags" &#41;
       end
    end
  
end

after all i was using this code to move the obj with specified ent num to new origin place (norigin is the array of x,y,z):

Code: Select all

function entgoto &#40;ent_num, norigin&#41;

   local origin = et.gentity_get&#40;ent_num,"origin"&#41; --a vec3 value
   et.gentity_set&#40; ent_num, "origin", norigin &#41;
   
end

There is somewhere here mine topic about this problem

, check TJ mods for more code.

       end
    end
 
end

You have to know some mapscripting in order to get targetnames of spawns. Did You debug this function for example:

if et.gentity_get(entnum, "targetname") == name then
print("found entnum ["..entnum.."]" for targetname)

smth like this? Try setspwn (0, tname), 1.2.3.4.5. It was working for me, but i got good mapper :p
