Spawnmanager: What am I doing wrong?

[Gamesnert]

I don't understand how the spawnmanager works... I'm trying to make a spawn code for 3 spawnpoints, all 3 specified in the map.

call(getResourceFromName("spawnmanager"), "setSpawnpointTeam", getElementByID("sp1"), team1 ) 
call(getResourceFromName("spawnmanager"), "setSpawnpointTeam", getElementByID("sp2"), team1 ) 
call(getResourceFromName("spawnmanager"), "setSpawnpointTeam", getElementByID("sp3"), team1 ) 

The spawnpoints:

<spawnpoint id="sp1" posX="283.339" posY="1972.488" posZ="17.64063" rot="270" skin="287"/> 
<spawnpoint id="sp2" posX="279.5817" posY="2013.327" posZ="17.64063" rot="270" skin="287"/> 
<spawnpoint id="sp3" posX="338.7903" posY="2012.863" posZ="20.63943" rot="270" skin="287"/> 

The reason I need this is that I'm making huge changes on my server, and with the previous version it didn't work either.

Error messages say that the spawnpoints are invalid, they return a bool instead of an element. Why?

Thanks in advance,

Ok obviously, there are a few things wrong in spawnmanager itself... I'll give you an example of the setSpawnpointTeam script:

function setSpawnpointTeam ( spawnpoint, team ) 
    if not isElement ( spawnpoint ) then outputDebugString("setSpawnpointTeam: Invalid variable specified as spawnpoint.  Element expected, got "..type(spawnpoint)..".",0,255,128,0) return false end 
    if getElementType ( spawnpoint ) ~= "spawnpoint" then outputDebugString("setSpawnpointTeam: Bad spawnpoint element specified",0,255,128,0) return false end 
    if not isElement ( team ) then outputDebugString("setSpawnpointTeam: Invalid variable specified as team.  Element expected, got "..type(team)..".",0,255,128,0) return false end 
    if getElementType ( team ) ~= "team" then outputDebugString("setSpawnpointTeam: Bad team element specified",0,255,128,0) return false end 
    skin = math.ceil(skin) 
    setElementData ( spawnpoint, "team", skin ) 
    return true 
end  

Obviously, if you look at the end you see a few errors. First thing: "skin = math.ceil(skin)". Skin isn't specified anywhere. What you need it for anyway in a teamscript? Then, the last error, but still a serious error: "setElementData ( spawnpoint, "team", skin )". Setting a team to a skin ID might not be the best idea?

After changing this, (and checking with getSpawnpointTeam) I've got it working. Unfortunatly, I still had to change my code to make the player spawn at a team spawnpoint... Well, atleast this function is supposed to work now. And hopefully this is automatically fixed in DP3 and so on.
