Wrong script

[iPot]

I got this code here wich gives an error where I can't find the solution for. Anyone that can help is thankful.

Here's the error btw:

 [19:26:43] SCRIPT ERROR: ...Program Files/MTA DM/server/mods/deathmatc s/Headcrab/spawn.lua:13: unexpected symbol near ')' [19:26:43] INFO: Loading script failed: ...Program Files/MTA DM/server hmatch/resources/Headcrab/spawn.lua:13: unexpected symbol near ')' 

And here's the code:

function startMap(startedMap) 
local mapRoot = getResourceRootElement(startedMap) 
local players = getElementsByType("player") 
  
fadeCamera ( thePlayer, false, 1.0, 0, 0, 0 )       
for key, player in pairs(players) do 
local spawn = spawns[math.random(1, #spawns)] 
local posX = getElementData(spawn, "posX") 
local posY = getElementData(spawn, "posY") 
local posZ = getElementData(spawn, "posZ") 
local angle = getElementData(spawn, "angle") 
spawnPlayer(player, posX, posY, posZ, angle)) 
end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onGamemodeMapStart", getRootElement(), startMap

Try

function startMap(startedMap) 
local mapRoot = getResourceRootElement(startedMap) 
local players = getElementsByType("player") 
  
fadeCamera ( thePlayer, false, 1.0, 0, 0, 0 )       
for key, player in pairs(players) do 
local spawn = spawns[math.random(1, #spawns)] 
local posX = getElementData(spawn, "posX") 
local posY = getElementData(spawn, "posY") 
local posZ = getElementData(spawn, "posZ") 
local angle = getElementData(spawn, "angle") 
spawnPlayer(player, posX, posY, posZ, angle) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onGamemodeMapStart", getRootElement(), startMap )

There's another 1

[20:24:07] INFO: Loading script failed: ...Program Files/MTA DM/server/mods/deat

I used the exact code as you said.

[iPot]

Now I feel like an idiot

[20:52:03] ERROR: .../server/mods/deathmatch/resources/Headcrab/spawn.lua:7: 
empt to get length of global 'spawns' (a nil value) 

[CJGrove]

I can't see it now im sorry...

Here are all my code's now :

Meta for gamemode:

<meta> 
    <info author="Underworld" name="Bla" version="1" type="gamemode"/> 
    <config src="help.xml" type="client" />  
<script src="spawn.lua" /> 
</meta> 
  

Spawn script:

function startMap(startedMap) 
local mapRoot = getResourceRootElement(startedMap) 
local players = getElementsByType("player") 
  
fadeCamera ( thePlayer, false, 1.0, 0, 0, 0 )       
for key, player in pairs(players) do 
local spawn = spawns[math.random(1, #spawns)] 
local posX = getElementData(spawn, "posX") 
local posY = getElementData(spawn, "posY") 
local posZ = getElementData(spawn, "posZ") 
local angle = getElementData(spawn, "angle") 
spawnPlayer(player, posX, posY, posZ, angle) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onGamemodeMapStart", getRootElement(), startMap ) 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meta for the map:

<meta> 
    <info author="Underworld" description="map" version="1" type="map" gamemodes="Bla"/> 
    <map src="Bla.map"/> 
</meta> 

And here, the map:

 <map> 
    <spawnpoint posX="2495.1257324219" posY="-1686.6124267578" posZ="13.513834953308" angle="3.4530944824219"/>

</map>

Well it's basically saying 'wtf is spawns?' You haven't told it what it is yet you're trying to use it.

You probably want:

  
spawns  = getElementsByType("spawnpoint') 
  

[szlend]

Try this

function startMap(startedMap) 
local mapRoot = getResourceRootElement(startedMap) 
local players = getElementsByType("player") 
local spawns = getElementsByType("spawnpoint") 
      
for key, player in pairs(players) do 
local spawn = spawns[math.random(1, #spawns)] 
local posX = getElementData(spawn, "posX") 
local posY = getElementData(spawn, "posY") 
local posZ = getElementData(spawn, "posZ") 
local angle = getElementData(spawn, "angle") 
spawnPlayer(player, posX, posY, posZ, angle) 
fadeCamera (player, false, 1.0, 0, 0, 0 )   
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onGamemodeMapStart", getRootElement(), startMap ) 

Edit: bah eAi was faster

[iPot]

Well thank you I guess i deleted some wrong stuff
