Starting a gamemode on another dimension

[GamingTim]

Okay so, i'm not too sure on how to start a gamemode on another diemension, like for example, in the main world there's a lobby, also there's a race gamemode on another dimension and stunts in another dimension.

I'm currently looking on this function setElementDimension, what other fucntions, events shall i use?.

You must have different servers for different gamemodes and use redirectPlayer()

redirectPlayer() 

[Bonsai]

You gotta create the gamemodes by urself. You can't use existing gamemodes like race for that.

They all gotta have a different parent. Players who join a gamemode get childs of it.

[GamingTim]

Well i thought of a multi gamemode but a simplified version, nothing advance etc and not redirecting to another server it's like multi gamemodes in one server

I wanted to make gamemodes start on a different dimension that's all i just need the functions/ events needed.

[Bonsai]

Redirecting to another server is the simplified version.

Everything on one server will never be simple.

[GamingTim]

I just need the functions/events needed for this to work.

Knowing the events and functions is not enough to create such a complex script. Infact, you need to create a lot of your own custom events and functions. I'm speaking from personal experience. Others might have a different perspective.

I wouldn't call it complex at all. You can even make a system like that in five minutes or less depending on your needs. Simply put, you create a system that divides gamemodes into dimensions.

If you want to use the default gamemodes in it, that's not a problem, you just have to check the player's gamemode and only trigger events and functions for those that are in that specific gamemode. There's nothing more to that really.

@Bonsai: Well, since you're the expert - how did FFS got it to work with the default race script? Because they did, and there was no need to make their own.

@Bonsai: I wonder how FFS got it to work with the default race script. Because they did, and there was no need to make their own.

I wanna call fake here, default race will tp you and make you play, it is by force, edited.

Ok so first, it didn't take you only 10 minutes, then your code is just the begining, because you need to modify the gamemodes that you want to make them work in only one world. Additionnaly, I would use only one event for the world selection.

I know, i did example to him.

And yes, i did it with 10 minutes, i took some functions from my own gamemode.

@Hypex: I think it's obvious, that it's edited. But Bonsai says the following:

You gotta create the gamemodes by urself. You can't use existing gamemodes like race for that.

Which is wrong, because all the race servers use the default race gamemode (some don't, because they wanted to revamp everything to correspond their own methods of making things), which obviously is edited. But the point is, you don't need to make your own, you just have to place enough stuff around to make it work with your own system.

@Citizen: His example was just to show how easy it is to make one. The rest is simply just edits to the gamemodes so that they only fetch the players within that gamemode, which on the other hand is just dimension or element data or whatever you use to do that. It's nothing "complex", as mentioned above...

[NeO_DUFFMAN]

Like i said, others might have a different perspective. I find it pretty complex. Perhaps cause i have a different method of dealing with something like this. But honestly, i guess segregating the different gamemodes among the players and creating a simple system to manage and handle all these gamemodes definitely seems like a better alternative. Wish, someone would have brought this topic up a month back lol.

Using existing gamemodes like race and do all the editing seems way more complicated to me than just creating your own one.

Of course there are functions you can take from there without much editing, but basically just doing edits without knowing exactly what is done in every line and why, because you didn't write it, will cause much more trouble.

However, I only know the race gamemode, and its in my opinion not worth to be used for that, since there is a lot of weird stuff inside which can be handled much easier.

I wouldn't call it complex at all. You can even make a system like that in five minutes or less depending on your needs. Simply put, you create a system that divides gamemodes into dimensions.

@Bonsai: Well, since you're the expert - how did FFS got it to work with the default race script? Because they did, and there was no need to make their own.

Yep. That will definitely work. NOT. But what do I know about multigamemodes anyway...

I'm not sure if you are trolling or actually serious about what you are saying.

Therefore, I won't pay attention to this topic anymore.

Not like I haven't made three lobbies in my life.
