Team Spawns?

[vanishSHC]

Hello, I have a script where I have 3 teams.

1. Police

2. Medical

3. Repo

Now I am using p-spawn for the initial spawn, Teamless people are homeless and spawn in grove street

However, I want to make it so that in my function for the join team i.e joinpolice it kills the player and spawns them elsewhere( i.e. police station) . Now that part is the easy part... the question is... when they die... i dont want them being sent to grove street. (because p-spawn has a function for that...) However, I dont really want to destroy the p-spawn script.

So i was wondering if there was a easy way to attach an if then statement with getPlayerFromTeam or similar function to make it so if the police die they go right back to where i initially spawned them when they joined the team. If the player isnt on a team, p-spawn will kick in and send them to grove street.

Here is my current code.

First script, Server Sided, makes the team. the end:

  
function createTeamsOnStart () 
createTeam ( "Police", 0, 0, 255 ) 
createTeam ( "Medical", 255, 0, 0 ) 
createTeam ( "Vehicle Repossession", 255, 255, 0 ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), createTeamsOnStart  ) 
  

Second script, join command handlers takeaway weapons and then give specific weapons for that team and sets the skin and what not:

  
--Teamless Weapons aka hobo 
    local hoboWeapon = 30 
    local hoboAmmo = 2000 
    local hoboOtherWeapon = 24 
    local hoboOtherAmmo = 2000 
    --Police Weapons 
    local copWeapon = 25 
    local copAmmo = 2000 
    local copOtherWeapon = 22 
    local copOtherAmmo = 2000 
    local copStick = 3 
    --Medical Weapons 
    local medWeapon = 23 
    local medAmmo = 2000 
    local medOtherWeapon = 14 
    --Repo Weapons 
    local repoWeapon = 32 
    local repoAmmo = 2000 
    local repoOtherWeapon = 5 
     
    --Add more vars 
  
  
function joincops(source) 
setPlayerTeam" class="kw6">setPlayerTeam" class="kw6">setPlayerTeam (source, getTeamFromName("Police")) 
  
setElementModel(source, 280) 
takeAllWeapons (source) 
giveWeapon(source, copWeapon, copAmmo) 
giveWeapon(source, copStick) 
giveWeapon(source, copOtherWeapon, copOtherAmmo) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("joinpolice",joincops) 
  
function joindocs(source) 
setPlayerTeam" class="kw6">setPlayerTeam (source, getTeamFromName("Medical")) 
  
setElementModel(source, 275) 
takeAllWeapons (source) 
giveWeapon(source, medWeapon, medAmmo) 
giveWeapon(source, medOtherWeapon) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("joinmedical",joindocs) 
  
function joinreposs(source) 
setPlayerTeam" class="kw6">setPlayerTeam" class="kw6">setPlayerTeam (source, getTeamFromName("Vehicle Repossession")) 
  
setElementModel(source, 50) 
takeAllWeapons (source) 
giveWeapon(source, repoWeapon, repoAmmo) 
giveWeapon(source, repoOtherWeapon) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("joinrepo",joinreposs) 
  
function quitteam(source) 
setPlayerTeam" class="kw6">setPlayerTeam (source, nil) 
setElementModel(source, 230) 
takeAllWeapons (source) 
giveWeapon(source, hoboWeapon, hoboAmmo) 
giveWeapon(source, hoboOtherWeapon, hoboOtherAmmo) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("quitteam",quitteam) 
  
  

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to go about this painlessly

P.S. i didnt add the kill player and spawn points yet.

P.S again: Don't know whats up with that kw6 shit being added so ignore it

use setElementPosition? after he spawns you will be moved to correct "spawn point".

[SDK]

Did you try using spawnPlayer? That should work even on alive players iirc.

function quitteam(source) 
    spawnPlayer (source, hoboSpawnX, hoboSpawnY, hoboSpawnZ, hoboSpawnRotation, 230) 
    giveWeapon(source, hoboWeapon, hoboAmmo) 
    giveWeapon(source, hoboOtherWeapon, hoboOtherAmmo) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("quitteam",quitteam)

Okay so here is the updated code with SDK's suggestion... SetElementPosition would be a viable option as well and might incorporate it with other events rather than the initial spawn. I disabled P-spawn to program my own initial gui team selection screen, and to allow the script below to function, however. it doesnt function.

    --Teamless Weapons aka hobo 
    local hoboWeapon = 30 
    local hoboAmmo = 2000 
    local hoboOtherWeapon = 24 
    local hoboOtherAmmo = 2000 
    --Police Weapons 
    local copWeapon = 25 
    local copAmmo = 2000 
    local copOtherWeapon = 22 
    local copOtherAmmo = 2000 
    local copStick = 3 
    --Medical Weapons 
    local medWeapon = 23 
    local medAmmo = 2000 
    local medOtherWeapon = 14 
    --Repo Weapons 
    local repoWeapon = 32 
    local repoAmmo = 2000 
    local repoOtherWeapon = 5 
     
    --Spawn Grouping 
    local hoboSpawnX = 2494  
    local hoboSpawnY = -1666 
    local hoboSpawnZ = 14 
    local hoboSpawnRotation = 0 
     
    local copSpawnX = 1554.05 
    local copSpawnY = -1791.14 
    local copSpawnZ = 13.3 
    local copSpawnRotation = 270 
     
    local medSpawnX = 2038.23 
    local medSpawnY = -1411.24 
    local medSpawnZ = 17.1 
    local medSpawnRotation = 0 
     
    local repoSpawnX = 1604.40 
    local repoSpawnY = -1791.14 
    local repoSpawnZ = 13.3

Seems like the Dead Players do not spawn instead they revert to the initial play/freeroam spawn. If i can get this working i can incorporate it into a gui hopefully somehow But thats a different story. Anyone got any idea why this wouldnt work? No output errors in the console.

Thanks for all your help!
