Player dies --> Spawn ammo box [Spearhead]

[nene81]

Hi everyone,

I've typed a new script which spawns a Rifle_ammo_box when player dies (I have deactivated droppable).

main:
	level.actual = 0
	level.boxes = 0

	thread check_players

end


check_players:

	while (1)
	{	
		for (local.i = 1; local.i <= $player.size; local.i++)
		{
			local.player = $player[local.i]

			if ( local.player != NULL && local.player != NIL && isAlive(local.player) )
			{
				//do nothing
			}
			else
			{
				if ( level.actual != local.player )
				{
					waitThread SpawnAmmo local.player
				}
			}
		}
		wait 0.2
	}
end


SpawnAmmo local.player:

	local.X = level.boxes

	local.BulletBox[local.X] = spawn models/items/item_rifle_ammobox.tik
	local.BulletBox[local.X].origin = local.player.origin
	local.BulletBox[local.X].angles = ( 0 0 0 )
	local.BulletBox[local.X].scale = 1
	local.BulletBox[local.X] light 0 1 1 050
	local.BulletBox[local.X] set_respawn_time 6000 // respawn time
		
	level.boxes++
	level.actual = local.player
end

When Ammobox spawns and some player picks up it, the Ammobox respawns in the same position after a few seconds.

I'm trying to avoid with red line (6000 seconds) (possible server overload?, when there are a lot of spawns positions...)
It might have a lot of deaths = spawn positions...

I wouldn like to make it by other way... Some idea?

there is a cvar , sv_drophealth or something like that , i can't remember

If you want to disable respawning altogether, just use:

local.BulletBox[local.X] set_respawn 0

oh i just noticed ur talkin about ammos

so

here's a fixed version of ur script , it has some flaws

main:



	while (1)

	{	

		for (local.i = 1; local.i <= $player.size; local.i++)

		{

			local.player = $player[local.i]



			if !( local.player != NULL && local.player != NIL && isAlive(local.player) && !local.player.ammodroped) //use the not (!) operator 

			{

				waitThread SpawnAmmo local.player

			

			}

		}

		wait 0.2

	}

end





SpawnAmmo local.player:

	

	//this array (local.bulletbox) won't work as u want it , the variable is removed/deleted once the thread reaches it's end command , it'll be filled with NILs and the last element will be current local.bulletbox , so you need to make it normal variable or level variable

	local.BulletBox = spawn models/items/item_rifle_ammobox.tik

	local.BulletBox.origin = local.player.origin

	local.BulletBox.angles = ( 0 0 0 )

	local.BulletBox.scale = 1

	local.BulletBox light 0 1 1 050

	local.player.ammodroped = bool 1

	wait 10 // ten sec's are enough ?

	local.BulletBox remove

	local.BulletBox = NULL

	local.player.ammodroped == bool 0

end

this doesn´t work:

SpawnAmmo local.player:

	local.X = level.boxes

	local.BulletBox[local.X] = spawn models/items/item_rifle_ammobox.tik
	local.BulletBox[local.X].origin = local.player.origin
	local.BulletBox[local.X].angles = ( 0 0 0 )
	local.BulletBox[local.X].scale = 1
	local.BulletBox[local.X] light 0 1 1 030
	local.BulletBox[local.X] set_respawn_time 6000 // Tiempo de reaparición

	if ( local.X >= 3 )
	{

		local.DEL = local.X - 3

		local.BulletBox[local.DEL] remove
		local.BulletBox[local.DEL] = NULL
		
	}
		
	level.boxes++
	level.actual = local.player
end

"remove & NULL" doesn't delete previous spawn positions...(0,1,2,3...)

I have tested:

local.BulletBox[local.DEL] delete

but nothing, spawn position reappears.

How could I delete it?

If I type

local.BulletBox[local.X] set_respawn_time 0

means BulletBox stays forever.

[nene81]

Definitely, I can't delete a spawn object during the match.

Is there any way to make it dissapear?

A greeting!

[RyBack]

local.object delete

or

local.object remove

or

local.object immediateremove

but i'd prefer the second one

[RyBack]

or if you want to hide it and show it later in the match

local.object hide

local.object notsolid

and

local.object show

local.object solid
