Skin Spawning?

[Lloyd Logan]

How can i make it so that there are 2 spawn points, and depending on which skin you have, you are spawned at one of the spawn points?

[uhm]

how would the player choose which skin he wants?

I suggest a GUI: click on some button, then you can use the OnClientGUIClick event to do the spawning, which has a parameter for setting the skin

check out Remps GUI creator for easy designing and for generating the code

Create an array, set index as skin ID and create another array for its value with the positions. Then get positions for a specific skin ID calling that array's index.

Array? I'm sounding quite the noob here

[Jaysds1]

example:

local spawn = { [0]={0,0,3}, [218]={3,0,3} }--creates 2 arrays and a table in an array 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn",root,function() 
     local skin = getElementModel(source) 
     if skin == 0 or skin == 218 then 
          local x,y,z = unpack(spawn[skin]) 
          setElementPosition(source,x,y,z) 
      end 
end)

example:

local spawn = { [0]={0,0,3}, [218]={3,0,3} }--creates 2 arrays and a table in an array 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn",root,function() 
     local skin = getElementModel(source) 
     if skin == 0 or skin == 218 then 
          local x,y,z = unpack(spawn[skin]) 
          setElementPosition(source,x,y,z) 
      end 
end) 

OKay, so i have a skin selector and i have made it so when you select a skin it spawns you to a point. Its not a gui tho, anyways it is Team DM and i was wonder in you were in the "RED" team you could have certain skins to choose from then spawn to the RED base?

An array is a table.

Just add this to your gamemode:

local g_pSkins =  
{ 
    [218] = { 0, 0, 0 }, 
    [219] = { 0, 0, 0 }, 
    [220] = { 0, 0, 0 } 
}; 
  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerSpawn", root, 
    function( _, _, _, _, _, nSkin ) 
        if ( g_pSkins[nSkin] ) then 
                local   pTeam, nRotation,  
                    nInterior, nDimension = getPlayerTeam( source ), getElementRotation( source ), 
                                getElementInterior( source ), 
                        getElementDimension( source ); 
                          
        spawnPlayer( source, 
                 g_pSkins[nSkin][1], g_pSkins[nSkin][2], g_pSkins[nSkin][3],  
                             nRotation, nSkin, nInterior, nDimension, pTeam ); 
        end 
    end 
); 

I didn't test the code, there might be an error.

P.S. Don't look at the identation, it's impossible to do anything with Notepad

Thanks I'll try!!

[Anderl]

Okay, and don't forget to change skin IDs and respective spawn positions in "g_pSkins" table.

Thank You

No problem.

Have you tested it?

[Lloyd Logan]

No problem.

I am extremely stuck with this, i want it so that if you have id 7, you will spawn at... 2745.5830078125, -1608.7109375, 290.84722900391, but absoulutley nothing happens when i select id 7?

[3NAD]

Put your last Code : )

[Anderl]

Did it work before you add my code? Do you get any errors?

[Lloyd Logan]

Not before i added your code, but here it is, with this i honestly have no idea what i'm doing....

local g_pSkins =  
{ 
    [7] = { 0, 0, 5 }, 
    [219] = { 0, 0, 0 }, 
    [220] = { 0, 0, 0 } 
}; 
  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerSpawn", root, 
    function( _, _, _, _, _, nSkin ) 
        if ( g_pSkins[nSkin] ) then 
                local   pTeam, nRotation,  
                    nInterior, nDimension = getPlayerTeam( source ), getElementRotation( source ), 
                                getElementInterior( source ), 
                        getElementDimension( source );                    
        spawnPlayer( source, 
                 g_pSkins[nSkin][1], g_pSkins[nSkin][2], g_pSkins[nSkin][3],  
                             nRotation, nSkin, nInterior, nDimension, pTeam ); 
        end 
    end 
); 

I am not sure about the rotation, but the posistion is a i sead before and the dimension is 0

[Baseplate]

[7] = { 0, 0, 5 }, -- change 0, 0, 5 to the X Y Z that you want to be set that Skin ID 7 
    [219] = { 0, 0, 0 }, -- change 0, 0, 0 to the X Y Z that you want to be set that Skin ID 219 
    [220] = { 0, 0, 0 } -- change 0, 0, 0 to the X Y Z that you want to be set that Skin ID 220 

[Lloyd Logan]

[7] = { 0, 0, 5 }, -- change 0, 0, 5 to the X Y Z that you want to be set that Skin ID 7 
    [219] = { 0, 0, 0 }, -- change 0, 0, 0 to the X Y Z that you want to be set that Skin ID 219 
    [220] = { 0, 0, 0 } -- change 0, 0, 0 to the X Y Z that you want to be set that Skin ID 220 

I done that but nothing, could this be messing it up?

local spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ = 2745.5830078125, -1608.7109375, 290.84722900391 
function joinHandler() 
    spawnPlayer(source, spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to One In the Chamber", source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler) 
  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerWasted", getRootElement( ), 
    function() 
        setTimer( spawnPlayer, 2000, 1, source, 2745.5830078125, -1608.7109375, 290.84722900391 ) 
    end 
)

It might be, comment these lines with "--[[" for start and "]]" to finish and then restart the whole script.

Example:

--[[local g_bLikePoneys = true; 
if ( g_bIsOpen ) then 
    outputChatBox( "Game menu is open." ); 
end]] 

Anything commented won't be run, this way you don't need to delete the code but it also won't be run.

Right it is working, but how will i make it so that when the player passes the Login screen the gui will show?

I tried onPlayerLogin, but i couldn't get it

function CreateSelectorWindow() 
wdwselector = guiCreateWindow(0.438,0.880,0.15,0.10,"Skinslector v1.0",true) 
guiWindowSetMovable(wdwselector,false) 
btnLeft = guiCreateButton(0.0,0.4,0.200,0.350,"<-",true,wdwselector) 
btnRight = guiCreateButton(0.76,0.4,0.200,0.350,"->",true,wdwselector) 
btnSelect = guiCreateButton(0.30,0.4,0.400,0.350,"Select",true,wdwselector) 
guiSetVisible(wdwselector, false) 
end 
  
function selectorenable () 
CreateSelectorWindow() 
 addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", btnLeft, clientSkinLeft, false) 
 addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", btnSelect, clientSkinSelect, false) 
 addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", btnRight, clientSkinRight, false) 
            if (wdwselector ~= nil) then 
                 guiSetVisible(wdwselector, true) 
                 triggerServerEvent("FrontCamera", getRootElement()) 
            end  
            showCursor(true) 
    end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", rootElement, selectorenable)

onPlayerLogin is server-side only.

Add it server-side, create a client-side code to show the GUI and call it from server-side login event.

I am now confused as to what i am doing

Show your code.
