Author Topic: VCE Being slow  (Read 792 times)

     So I'm testing an auto turret for a TDM and set up the Slayer Spawn so that when a certain team touches it variables get set.  For whatever reason, after respawning it takes about 5 seconds before the variable can actually get set.  If I touch the brick before then nothing happens.  After 5 seconds, I can touch it and the variable works.  Doing onActivate instead of onPlayerTouch gives the same problem; works 5 seconds after I spawn.
     I also experienced this slowness on Glass' fortwars when I made a VCE door.  After I spawned, it would only work after a few seconds of waiting.

There is an "immune time" when you spawn.

You can use this add-on to change it: http://rtb-archive.host22.com/add_ons/Server_GamePreferences.zip
It will create an RTB preference for something like "OnTouch Immune Time" or "Player Immune Time". Set it to 0.


If that fails then just require them to exit the spawn through a door and set the variable there.

Yea so after testing Server Preferences, it seems that onActivate immune time and onPlayerTouch immune time are stuck at 5 seconds.  The mod doesn't seem to affect the time at all.  Ill probably just use a door later on though.

Use my old onMinigameSpawn event to set the variable: http://mods.greek2me.us/storage/Event_MinigameSpawn.zip

Then use the Slayer VCE variables with that to determine what team the player is on. The VCE variables are listed in the Help tab of the Slayer GUI.

So apparently VCE just doesnt work for the first five seconds after I spawn.  I used the Slayer Variables (<var:cl:teamName>) and if I spawn and stand in my zone that checks for the teamName, it works after five seconds and then works forever after until I die and repeat the process.

Also if I spawn and immediately commit Self Delete inside the zone, VCE suddenly works before 5 seconds is up.
