Using table to create spawn points

[knightscript]

Hello, i was using a script that would let me add 3 spawn points but not more, and i would like to add more, i have the following table:

  
local spawns = 
    { 
        { 816.59997558594, -7209.2998046875, 32.799999237061 }, 
        { 707.20001220703, -7272.6000976563, 32.700000762939 }, 
        { 710.5, -7412.8999023438, 32.799999237061 }, 
        { 798.70001220703, -7654, 32.5 }, 
        { 816.09997558594, -7471.3999023438, 30 }, 
        { 812.40002441406, -7321.6000976563, 32.799999237061 }, 
    } 
 local random = math.random ( #spawns ) 
  

but after this, i have no idea what to do,

my current code is this:

  
function onWasted(totalAmmo, killer, killerWeapon, bodypart, stealth) 
  if not( isGuestAccount (getPlayerAccount(source)) ) then 
     number2 = {216, 220, 222, 226, 230} 
       numberskin2 = number2 [ math.random ( #number2 ) ] 
       skins = {} 
     fadeCamera (source, true) 
     setTimer (spawnPlayer, 1000, 1, source, 2036.1735839844, -1413.0563964844, 16.9921875, 0, numberskin2, 0, 0, getPlayerTeam(source)) 
     setTimer (setCameraTarget, 1250, 1, source, source) 
     setTimer (fadeCamera, 2000, 1, source, true) 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), onWasted) 

I tried using the same structure as my random skin function, but it doesnt work.

Almost there.

local randomSpawn = spawns[math.random( #spawns)] 
local sX, sY, sZ = unpack(randomSpawn)

Hello, i did this and it sent me into the water, could you please send me the whole snippet please? thank you.

[knightscript]

Excuse me, vx89, i tried many ways and i had no success with using your code, can you tell me wherethat would go? Thank you

[vx89]

Show me what you tried

Overwrite spawn function or just change name to this...

  
function spawnPlayer(thePlayer) 
    local spawns = 
    { 
        { 816.59997558594, -7209.2998046875, 32.799999237061 }, 
        { 707.20001220703, -7272.6000976563, 32.700000762939 }, 
        { 710.5, -7412.8999023438, 32.799999237061 }, 
        { 798.70001220703, -7654, 32.5 }, 
        { 816.09997558594, -7471.3999023438, 30 }, 
        { 812.40002441406, -7321.6000976563, 32.799999237061 }, 
    } 
  
    local lucky = math.random ( #spawns ) 
    spawnPlayer(thePlayer,spawns[lucky][1],spawns[lucky][2],spawns[lucky][3]) 
  
    return true 
end

That'll cause a infinite loop, since you named your new function like the native MTA function.

[MisterQuestions]

True.. Forgot save original function.

  
local _spawnPlayer = spawnplayer 
function spawnPlayer(thePlayer) 
    local spawns = 
    { 
        { 816.59997558594, -7209.2998046875, 32.799999237061 }, 
        { 707.20001220703, -7272.6000976563, 32.700000762939 }, 
        { 710.5, -7412.8999023438, 32.799999237061 }, 
        { 798.70001220703, -7654, 32.5 }, 
        { 816.09997558594, -7471.3999023438, 30 }, 
        { 812.40002441406, -7321.6000976563, 32.799999237061 }, 
    } 
  
    local lucky = math.random ( #spawns ) 
    _spawnPlayer(thePlayer,spawns[lucky][1],spawns[lucky][2],spawns[lucky][3]) 
  
    return true 
end

What are you trying to achieve XeroxMTA? Overriding a function "globally" overrides it only in his resource, which means he could just call his function - no need to override the spawnPlayer.

Well... Idk, i just named the function like that .

He can simply change function name and thats it.

Im getting this error on my debugscript:

ERROR: [gamemodes]/knightsv1/broph.lua:183: attempt to call upvalue '

_spawnPlayer' (a nil value)

The code I have:

  
local _spawnPlayer = spawnplayer 
function spawnPlayer(thePlayer) 
    local spawns = 
    { 
        { 816.59997558594, -7209.2998046875, 32.799999237061 }, 
        { 707.20001220703, -7272.6000976563, 32.700000762939 }, 
        { 710.5, -7412.8999023438, 32.799999237061 }, 
        { 798.70001220703, -7654, 32.5 }, 
        { 816.09997558594, -7471.3999023438, 30 }, 
        { 812.40002441406, -7321.6000976563, 32.799999237061 }, 
    } 
  
    local lucky = math.random ( #spawns ) 
    _spawnPlayer(thePlayer,spawns[lucky][1],spawns[lucky][2],spawns[lucky][3]) 
  
    return true 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), spawnPlayer)

      numberskin2 = number2 [ math.random ( #number2 ) ] 
       skins = {} 
      local theWeapon = getPedWeapon (source) 
      local weaponAmmo = getPedTotalAmmo (source) 
      fadeCamera (source, true) 
      local randomSpawn = spawns[math.random( #spawns)] 
      local sX, sY, sZ = unpack(randomSpawn) 
      setTimer (spawnPlayer, 1000, 1, source, sX, sY, sZ, 0, numberskin2, 0, 0, getPlayerTeam(source)) 
      --setTimer (setCameraTarget, 1250, 1, source, source) 
      --setTimer (fadeCamera, 2000, 1, source, true) 
      setTimer (giveWeapon, 2000, 1, source, 24, 100, true) 
      setTimer (giveWeapon, 2000, 1, source, 25, 100, true) 
      setTimer (giveWeapon, 2000, 1, source, 30, 100, true) 
 end 
 addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), onWasted) 
  

I commented out SetCameraTarget and fadeCamera because it didnt solve my problem, what do you think?

Thank you, i solved the problem, i had my "SetCameraTarget" timer way to high (15000)... Thanks guys.
