Team respawn issues and a few questions

[Hutchpe]

Thanks to the help of some wonderful members I got team spawning working nicely. Now I have come across another problem. Whenever someone on a team dies they don't respawn and the camera just stays hovering above their body until they either reconnect or change teams. Here is the current team spawn scripts.

addCommandHandler("joinmexicans", 
function(thePlayer, commandName) 
    spawnPlayer(thePlayer, -1502,-146,14.1484375, 0,173,0,0,teamMexicans) 
    outputChatBox("You are a Mexican.",thePlayer) 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler("joinbordercontrol", 
function(thePlayer, commandName) 
    spawnPlayer(thePlayer, -1346,-213,14.1484375, 0,71,0,0,teamBorderControl) 
    outputChatBox("You are the Border Control.",thePlayer) 
    end 
) 

I've had a shot at writing a respawn script but my very limited knowledge in Lua has meant that it's a failure

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, 
function playerWasted () 
local team = getPlayerTeam (source) 
if (team == teamBorderControl) then 
spawnPlayer(thePlayer, -1346,-213,14.1484375, 0,71,0,0,teamBorderControl) 
end 
end 
) 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also my last questions are is it possible to write a script that checks to see if anyone on a team is alive and if no one is then reload the resource?

and

Is it possible to have players show up on the radar in the MTA:SA game mode?

Sorry if some questions are a bit of topic. Any help is much appreciated.

'thePlayer' isn't defined, you must use 'source'. It looks like you just missed it, happens often to me as well

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, 
    function playerWasted(ammo, killer, weapon, bodypart, stealth) 
        local team = getPlayerTeam (source) 
        if (team == teamBorderControl) then 
            spawnPlayer(source, -1346, -213, 14.1484375, 0, 71, 0, 0, teamBorderControl) 
        end 
    end 
)

For the alive team members, try this. This is just an example by the way.

Commands

• /teammates - Outputs alive team members, if none found, outputs none

Server-side

function getAlivePlayersInTeam(player) 
    result = false 
    outputChatBox("Alive players in your team:", player, 255, 180, 0, false) 
    for i,v in ipairs(getPlayersInTeam(getPlayerTeam(player))) do 
        if not isPedDead(v) then 
            outputChatBox(" " .. getPlayerName(v), player, 255, 180, 0, false) 
            result = true 
        end 
    end 
     
    if result == false then 
        outputChatBox(" No alive players in your team.", player, 255, 0, 0, false) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("teammates", 
    function(player, cmd) 
        if getPlayerTeam(player) then 
            getAlivePlayersInTeam(player) 
        end 
    end 
) 

For the check only, use this:

Server-side

for i,v in ipairs(getPlayersInTeam(teamPolice)) do -- Get the players from team 'teamPolice' 
    if not isPedDead(v) then 
        return true -- Is the player alive? 
    else 
        return false -- Is the player dead? 
    end 
end 

--

For the players to show on radar, as in, blips. You could use the 'playerblips' resource, which comes from the default resource package (download the latest package here »).

Ok I this is what used the code you helped me fix but whenever I start the server I get a message saying

WARNING: Loading script failed: Mexihunt\script.lua:88: '(' expected near 'playerWasted'

This is what the code currently looks like

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, 
    function playerWasted(ammo, killer, weapon, bodypart, stealth) 
        local team = getPlayerTeam (source) 
        if (team == teamBorderControl) then 
            spawnPlayer(source, -1602.9626464844, 660.72479248047, 7.1875, 0, 71, 0, 0, teamBorderControl) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, 
    function playerWasted(ammo, killer, weapon, bodypart, stealth) 
        local team = getPlayerTeam (source) 
        if (team == teamMexicans) then 
            spawnPlayer(source, 364.96685791016, 2507.6645507813, 16.496768951416, 0, 71, 0, 0, teamMexicans) 
        end 
    end 
) 

Can anyone see what's wrong with the code?

addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, 
    function (ammo, killer, weapon, bodypart, stealth) 
        local team = getPlayerTeam(source) 
        if (team == teamBorderControl) then 
            spawnPlayer(source, -1602.9626464844, 660.72479248047, 7.1875, 0, 71, 0, 0, teamBorderControl) 
        elseif (team == teamMexicans) then 
            spawnPlayer(source, 364.96685791016, 2507.6645507813, 16.496768951416, 0, 71, 0, 0, teamMexicans) 
        end 
    end 
)

Thanks so much myonlake and TAPL. It's all working great now.
