I have asked this question on other forums with either no answer, or being told it can't be done, which drives me crazy. I figure if I can ever get a 100% answer it's here. I'm working on a special game/map variant and I need to have 1 particular player to spawn on 1 particular point on the map and never anywhere else, if they die, they spawn back at this one spot. Now it's a team variant so that makes it very difficult. Is this possible in anyway known to mankind? Thanks
I need more info on the gametype, like: - Exactly what gametype you are using (team slayer, CTF, etc) - How many people spawn per team? - Does this one person have any special traits? - How often does that one person die and need to spawn? - How often does the rest of that person's team spawn? Etc... maybe I could come up with an interesting way to implement what you wanted...
Well I'm trying to make a "jailbreak" type game where one team member is in prison and his team has to break him out and get him to a goal point to score while the other team tries to prevent this. If he is killed he will spawn back in the prison. I've tried VIP as the prisoner which works great for every detail except I cannot make the VIP spawn in the prison only and no where else. Any ideas is greatly appreciated.
You could try several things... you could give the VIP a high gravity characteristic, and the rest of the team normal grav, and then set the escape out of reach for high gravity players. You could take away the ability to pick-up weapons as the VIP, and then put an infinite spawning portable grav lift that allows you to reach an alternate exit that is normally not reachable. Any special things that you NEED the prisoner to do?
No nothing special for the prisoner, they start with only a pistol and no overshield. They can try to escape themselves, but the other team is overpowered in comparison and would require alot of cunning, or they can wait for the other team to break them out. It's really frustrating because I'm 99% finished, I just need to get this little thing to work and then I'm done. Argh!
Well then give a try to one of the 2 methods I posted... maybe it will help. The purpose would be to let the VIP's team get out of Jail no problem, but the VIP to stay stuck until his team saves him (or her).
Problem is that if the spawn is ever open... since they are on the same team it will spawn the first person t odie there. it only works like that if the VIP is standing over the respawn point.
