My first attempt to make MAP gamemode

[Taalasmaa]

Hey, I'm making basic gamemode with votemaps and so on and I failed

function tvhMap(startedMap)
mapRoot = getResourceRootElement(startedMap)
end
addEventHandler("onGamemodeMapStart", getRootElement(), tvhMap)

function humanityChosen()
local spawn = getElementsByType("humanitySpawn", mapRoot)
local x,y,z
for key, value in pairs(spawn) do
	x = getElementData(value, "posX")
	y = getElementData(value, "posY")
	z = getElementData(value, "posZ")
spawnPlayer(source,x,y,z)
setCameraTarget(source,source)
end
end
addEvent("humanity",true);
addEventHandler("humanity",getRootElement(),humanityChosen)

These are just parts of it, but it debugs an error about

ERROR: Infite/Too long execution (mapmanager)

ERROR: Aborting; infite running script

What's wrong, it doesn't even start the map what i made. And trust me there's these humanityspawns on map file and the gamemodes for map file is set OK, like

<meta>
<info type="map" gamemodes="TestMode"/>
<map src="junkyard.map"/>
meta>

and in my gamemode:

<info author="Taalasmaa" type="gamemode" name="TestMode" version="0.0.1"  />

Well, thanks.

Best Regards

ERROR: Infite/Too long execution (mapmanager)

you messed something with votes it think (as this is mapmanager infinite run, not your gamemode whatever its called)

and..

local spawn = getElementsByType("humanitySpawn", mapRoot)
local x,y,z
for key, value in pairs(spawn) do
     x = getElementData(value, "posX")
     y = getElementData(value, "posY")
     z = getElementData(value, "posZ")
spawnPlayer(source,x,y,z)
setCameraTarget(source,source)
end

what you tried to do by that?

it will spawn at last spawnpoint anyway ..

     x = getElementData(value, "posX")
     y = getElementData(value, "posY")
     z = getElementData(value, "posZ")
spawnPlayer(source,x,y,z)
setCameraTarget(source,source)
end

no it wont, pairs() is outputing everything in random order

[dzek (varez)]

pairs() is outputing everything in random order

rly? that's weird..

anyway, looping through all spawnpoints, and spawning player at these place, and stop spawning after last random spawn -- not so good idea.. better is to choose one (random) and spawn.. and thats all

[karlis]

i agree in tha point of view, but in wiki somewhere is script example exatcly like this

[Taalasmaa]

So, any help?

EDIT; It gives an error

bad arguement #1 to 'pairs'

So it seems that this gamemode doesn't detect any suitable maps, what's wrong?

Help would be good

try removing 2nd arg at getElementsByType, and check is the name right, then try again
