it saves people from using a billion vstrs for their scripts that do spawntiming. Its still done manually just like all the scripted/external ones out there.

So it`s their problem tbh. U just need brain to calculate it

So after it we will see mortar script,cuz it`s easier and faster to build into etpro?

I can't see a spawntimer really being a problem at all. All good clans already either use a spawntimer script, external spawntimer or just watch the respawn clock and remember what time the enemy spawn

either way it isn't a big change, but it does help level the playing field for those who don't know how to use one of the current spawntimers available

Counting downwards, or just saying the spawntime to the mates?
Syntax? 00:30 or 00/30...

it just counts down

iv used it during test i though it was /settimer <time in secrs>

/resettimer (resets the timer back to the full <time in secs>)

the division over the spawntimer is pretty deep

Well, if that setting can be controlled by the server/league admin, then it's no ground for complaining...

there's no way for server/league admins to block spawntimer scripts or external spawntimers. the etpro spawntimer doesnt do anything more than a script would do, so it hardly seems worth the effort when you arent going to stop anyone

if there's a problem with spawntimers, it should be fixed by addressing why spawntimers are bad, rather than trying to block them (which is impossible). fix it by making spawntimers pointless.

That spawntimer thing is just stupid. After several new etpro releases we will not be using our brain at all...

I think most players have concern that with built-in timer teams get enemyspawntime for free. Currently you have to scout spawntime first which is important task in tactics.

saebbysorglos · Post by **saebbysorglos** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 2:57 am

its not stupid.
because its not possible to stop it completly.
u can always use a spawntimer script.
i think its good, so everybody can use it or not.
nothing changes.
i was spawntimescipts in et
it is and it will be

some people i think dont know much about competition in et or have no idea which scripts are possible for et.

sry for my bad english

Tell me more about scripts please...

Maybe your brain is not fast enough to calculate t+30, or your very competitive clan does not use voice comm?

(sorry for flaming, but i just give some facts the same way you do
