EDF Files

[DarkLink]

Okay guys I am here asking for EDF files documentation, beside this one:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Edf

Is there any other info teaching scripters how to use this?

I am trying to do something that cant understand how..

I want that mappers when place spawnpoint element, need to choose for which team will be.

So I want to make custom teams beside the map, all maps of this gamemode will have that team X and Y, and everytime they place spawnpoints need to say for which team will be.

And on map file would appear something like this, so I can handle on my lua files :

  
<team name="Police"> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (14)" skin="0" posX="923.24896240234" posY="2407.8386230469" posZ="26.800882339478" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (14)" skin="0" posX="932.21612548828" posY="2454.58203125" posZ="10.8203125" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (15)" skin="0" posX="967.66394042969" posY="2455.8859863281" posZ="10.8203125" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (16)" skin="0" posX="950.62976074219" posY="2449.9562988281" posZ="10.8203125" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (17)" skin="0" posX="944.82995605469" posY="2457.4929199219" posZ="10.8203125" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
    </team> 
    <team name="Emigrants"> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (8)" skin="0" posX="-518.18017578125" posY="2587.4965820313" posZ="53.4140625" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (9)" skin="0" posX="-226.75570678711" posY="2601.5900878906" posZ="62.703125" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (10)" skin="0" posX="-28.101783752441" posY="2332.1057128906" posZ="24.140625" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (11)" skin="0" posX="-510.70172119141" posY="2599.6372070313" posZ="53.415428161621" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
        <spawnpoint id="spawnpoint (12)" skin="0" posX="-215.47108459473" posY="2597.8271484375" posZ="62.703125" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0" /> 
    </team>

Anyone? I need some help :c

Thanks in advance!

My problem is, I guess I didnt explain good

so here it is:

is there a way to have the teams already created when a mapper load the defitions of my gamemode and start mapping?

Then when he tries to place spawnpoints he can already choose which team to choose, and then will be parent of that team, on .map file.

I guess I explained myself better now

Thanks alot!

I'm not sure if it's possible. I know the rcg (rollercoaster generator) resource uses element parents when creating the map, but I believe that's because it's a running script together with the mapeditor.

Edit: Tip: if you don't know how, look somewhere else. Take a look at the edf file of the ctf gamemode, it uses in combination with team elements.

I notice that its not so easy like I though, wojak explained me, I need exported functions.. and a script running when map editor runs.

I will just use team data notes when creating a spawnpoint, much easier, I guess.

Thanks anyway SDK
