[Frank-De-Ruiter]

hi all,

Im requesting an simple gamemode that can load an map and spawn players at the maps spawnpoint.

If it's so simple then why can't you do it?

Was that suppose to be funny? Because half of your posts are dumb requests and the rest is flaming people that tried to help you.

If it's so simple, why don't you show him ?

Edit : To be constructive. Look at this post I've made. It is what you want (almost) - a basic dumb freeroam mode. It doesn't use a map for spawn points however, but should get you started.

Who ever said it was simple for me?

omfg, the only thing i mean with simple that it only has to have the basic stuff to run it, so i can implant my scripts into it!

hey, ive got some problems with this gamemode, its all working now, you do spawn, but i have some problems with the teams, ive got the TeamBalance but i want that on Spawn player gets random put in Team1 or Team2, ive looked trough some functions but i can't seem to get it working.

My GM:

   
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
    function() 
    local joinedPlayerName = getClientName ( source ) 
        joinHandler(source) 
        outputChatBox ( "Welcome " .. joinedPlayerName .. " to the official Arena Deathmatch server!!" , source, 255, 255, 255 ) 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted",getRootElement(), 
    function() 
        setTimer(joinHandler,5000,1,source) 
    end 
) 
         
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getRootElement(),  
    function(res) 
        if res == getThisResource() then 
            for _,player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
                joinHandler(player) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function joinHandler(player) 
    fadeCamera(player,true) 
    spawnPlayer(player,math.random(10) * 3,math.random(10) * 3,5) 
end 
  
function onGameResourceStart() 
      team1 = createTeam("Team1", 255, 0, 0) 
      team2 = createTeam("Team2", 255, 255, 0) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), onGameResourceStart) 
   
function balanceTeams ( thePlayer ) 
        local team1 = getTeamFromName ( "Team1" ) 
        local team2 = getTeamFromName ( "Team2" ) 
        local team1Count = countPlayersInTeam ( team1 ) 
        local team2Count = countPlayersInTeam ( team2 ) 
        if team1Count == team2Count then  
                setPlayerTeam ( thePlayer , team1 ) 
        elseif team1Count > team2Count then  
                setPlayerTeam ( thePlayer , team2Team )  
        elseif team1Count < team2Count then 
                setPlayerTeam ( thePlayer , team1Team )  
        end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), blanceTeams) 
  

Can someone help me with what?

I changed your code to this :

  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
    function() 
        local joinedPlayerName = getClientName ( source ) 
        joinHandler(source) 
        outputChatBox ( "Welcome " .. joinedPlayerName .. " to the official Arena Deathmatch server!!" , source, 255, 255, 255 ) 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted",getRootElement(), 
    function() 
        setTimer(joinHandler,5000,1,source) 
    end 
) 
        
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getRootElement(), 
    function(res) 
        if res == getThisResource() then 
             
            team1 = createTeam("Team1", 255, 0, 0) 
            team2 = createTeam("Team2", 255, 255, 0) 
  
            for _,player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
                setTimer(joinHandler,1000,1,player) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function joinHandler(player) 
    fadeCamera(player,true) 
    spawnPlayer(player,math.random(10) * 3,math.random(10) * 3,5) 
    balanceTeams(player) 
end 
  
function balanceTeams ( thePlayer ) 
        if countPlayersInTeam(team1) > countPlayersInTeam(team2) then 
                setPlayerTeam ( thePlayer , team2 ) 
        else 
                setPlayerTeam ( thePlayer , team1 ) 
        end 
end 
  

A few things:

1. You miss-spelled the call to balanceTeams() in the addEventHandler(). This should have come up as an error in the server console for you to find.

2. You weren't handling the team assingment when somebody was already connected on game mode start.

What's odd is that it didn't work when I started the game mode while connected but did when I joined (with it running). This is the reason for adding another timer into the onResourceStart() bit for player spawning - without it, it appears that using the newly created teams directly after seems to fail ?

Edit: You may need to clear the play team on wasted so that when he player goes through the balance process again, he's not already in a team e.g.

  
setPlayerTeam(player,nil) 
  

If you don't want to do that (which may swap a players team on death), you could just check to see if the players in a team and only assign them one if not e.g.

  
function balanceTeams ( thePlayer ) 
    if not getPlayerTeam(thePlayer) then 
        if countPlayersInTeam(team1) > countPlayersInTeam(team2) then 
                setPlayerTeam ( thePlayer , team2 ) 
        else 
                setPlayerTeam ( thePlayer , team1 ) 
        end  
    end 
end

What's the mapfile name?

[[Ska]Vladmo]

<map src="filename.map" /> 

RIght click your meta.xml and click edit then put that code line above with your other lines.

But does this automaticly load the map into de mode? and how to tell the script to use the .map Spawnpoints inplace of the Random spawn?

Yes, it should load the spawnpoints. If you then want to spawn a player at a random spawnpoint, swap:

  
spawnPlayer(player,math.random(10) * 3,math.random(10) * 3,5) 
  

for

  
call(getResourceFromName("spawnmanager"),"spawnPlayerAtSpawnpoint",player)

Thanks tma for your help!
