Is there some way to make a delay?
Jetpuff:
I did and I said it didn't do anything. Neither codes worked gentlemen. I guess I could try Chrono's in a second again though, might have put it in wrong.
Ok I executed from a file this time, neither truly work.
Even though the echoes are correct, I see some things wrong with both:
Chrono - I think spawnPlayer is built for if the player is not an object.
Truce - Like Chrono said, the schedule doesnt exist anymore after the first spawn.
Jetpuff - You are bad at scripting.
So here is what I thought of, make another schedule to kill the object then spawn the object. I am too lazy to try right now, but could anyone tell me if they would agree with that? (Also thanks for all the help you guys have put toward this question.)
Chrono:
Spawn player deletes any existing player before doing the rest of the function. I know because I use it in the console all the time when I want people to stop bothering me.

hmm, i've been using instantrespawn, spawnplayer works? i thought that i had tried it before
Uristqwerty:
In this case, you would want to repeat finding the player at the time that it is respawned, so the code you want is either a function that schedules itself, or perhaps something like this:
--- Code: ---for(%i=0; %i<120; %i++)
schedule(1000 * %i, 0, eval, "findclientbyname(\"jet\").player.instantRespawn();");
--- End code ---
But the better way to do it would be
--- Code: ---function whatever(%i)
{
if(%i < 1)
return;
if([conditions])
findclientbyname("jet").player.instantRespawn();
schedule(1000, 0, whatever, %i - 1);
}
--- End code ---
because then you can easily add conditions to it, or other fancy things.
Finally, it should be rewritten like this:
--- Code: ---function whatever(%i)
{
if(%i < 1)
return;
%client = findclientbyname("jet");
if(isObject(%client) && isObject(%client.player) [&& optional extra conditions])
%client.player.instantRespawn();
schedule(1000, 0, whatever, %i - 1);
}
--- End code ---
because that way it doesn't give errors if the client or player don't exist.
Chrono:
In that last bit, you only need isObject(%client.player), not isObject(%client)
Because if the client doesn't exist, then .player sure wont.
