TDM spawnpoints

[edzits]

Hey,im new to MTA Server managmenting,and i recently made some maps and upgraded my server with some nice resources,but i cant figure out a basic thing.How do i make the spawns in tdm(red vs blue) to be like this:Red team spawns in their HQ,and Blue team in theirs.Currently,they spawn randomly on one of the spawnpoints i made.

In the editor, with the TDM definition loaded, I think the spawnpoints have a "team" property (F3) where you set a corresponding team element.

Searched the whole spawnpoint menu with F3.Cant find anything on team.

EDIT:I checked out some other gamemodes,and for example CTF has this ''team" thing,where you create the team(Color,name ect.) and then when you create the spawnpoint,you can choose for which team is it.

*bump*?I would be grateful to know how to make solid spawns in TDM.

tdm is just not supposed to do so, use tdma instead

[edzits]

Hmm i see,but TDMA doesnt have any definitions,or should i somehow what use the TDM spawnpoints?

[Dark Dragon]

uhm well, didn't know about that. someone should probably create an edf file for tdma then

i think unless someone creates an edf you'll have to manually edit the .map file

[edzits]

Alright,i opened the .map file,i see all the props i made and spawnpoints.What should i do there to get the teams straight?Red spawns in that place,and blue in the other one??

most tdma-maps have a syntax like this

<base team="Police" red="0" green="0" blue="255" >
	<weapon model="3" ammo="1"/>
	<weapon model="23" ammo="60"/>
	<weapon model="31" ammo="500"/>
	<weapon model="29" ammo="300"/>
	<weapon model="34" ammo="15"/>
	<skin model="285"/>
	<skin model="286"/>
	<skin model="287"/>
	<spawn posX="974.30" posY="-761.07" posZ="112.06" rot="124" randx="5" randy="5" randz="0"/>
</base>
 
<base team="Terrorist" red="255" green="0" blue="0" >
	<weapon model="5" ammo="1"/>
	<weapon model="24" ammo="20"/>
	<weapon model="30" ammo="500"/>
	<weapon model="28" ammo="300"/>
	<weapon model="34" ammo="15"/>
	<skin model="121"/>
	<skin model="111"/>
	<skin model="124"/>
	<spawn posX="866.911" posY="-861.42" posZ="77.48" rot="356" randx="5" randy="5" randz="0"/>
</base> 

looking at this you should be able to figure out how to make them work correctly. pickups, objects, vehicles and markers should work without any changes

(the rand x y z values in "spawn" mean how many units the spawn points can vary, this is useful cause it will prevent the massive spawn at the beginning to be all in the same spot and everyone is stuck)

Thanks!I will try it now,hope it works out!

EDIT:Hey uhm,this might be strange,but where do i put the code you posted?

EDIT2:I figured it out,the BASE code has to be in the .map file.Now that i know how to make solid spawn points,i noticed a new isue.

The player is automaticly moved to one of the teams.No choice.How do i edit that?
