multiplayer spawn issue

Archive: 3 posts


I looked everywhere....I think. I am trying to have a top down multiplayer tank level. I want each player to spawn from their own checkpoint set to specific locations and spawn directly into their tank. when they die I want to respawn them from THEIR assigned checkpoint into a spawned copy of THEIR tank. The ability for them to choose between several different models and choose their vehicle of choice before respawning would be awesome, but I would be content with some help with logic to ensure I can spawn player 1 from checkpoint 1, player 2 from checkpoint 2, and so on. I swear I scoured LBPC LBP2 Tutorials and nada. I want to spawn them from different checkpoints right from the start of the game. Please help!

Thanks in advance

Well, it's impossible to have players spawn from specific Checkpoints - people either spawn from the active checkpoint, or random checkpoints based on your level type.

However, for what you're trying to do, my advice is - don't kill the players. Have your Players in their respective controlinators, and keep those Controlinators unglued from their tanks. Place Remote Control Controlinators on invisible Hologram or Sticker Panel, and place corresponding Reciever Controlinators on the tanks.
Place a Tag on the tank, and when the Transmitting Controlinator detects that Tag is no longer present, have the Controlinator move to a Tag that indicates a spawn point, then emitt a replacement. In other words - you're creating your own spawn system from scratch.

Perhaps looking up a tutorial for Sackbot checkpoints will be beneficial - I realise you're not actually using Sackbots, but the fundamentals of these two systems are very similar.

I wasn't planning on killing the players initially. I was going to have them hold on spawning once they die until only one player remained then have them all spawn at the scoreboard. I will give the sackbot spawn tutorial a read and see if it can help me understand the logic of what im trying to do. Thanks 2012-07-11 22:52:00
