How do you make a on spawned event work correctly.

[Azjherben]

You have the parent function outside of any actual function and instead in the package, which will cause syntax errors.

Using GameConnection::onConnected will not work as it's a protected function and cannot be packaged or replaced. Use GameConnection::autoAdminCheck instead.

So....

Code: [Select]

$dscale = "0.5";
$spawnyes = 1;


function setscaleofguy(%client)
{
echo("Okay.");
%client.player.setplayerscale($dscale);
}

package kat {

function GameConnection::autoAdminCheck(%this)
{

if($spawnyes == 1){
$ST = schedule(500,0, setscaleofguy,%this);
}
}

};



activatepackage(kat);

....will work? Checking now,

You didn't parent it.

[Azjherben]

You didn't parent it.

Can someone show me where the parent goes?
And what the "parent" will be for that code?

Code: [Select]

package kat
{
function GameConnection::autoAdminCheck(%this)
{
if($spawnyes == 1)
{
$ST = schedule(500,0, setscaleofguy,%this);
}
Parent::autoAdminCheck(%this)
}
};
activatepackage(kat);

Why are you setting the scale of the player during the auto admin check? Is this possible since there's no control object even created yet? Or is there? :o

[Space Guy]

That is true...

Do it in GameConnection::createPlayer or something. Then you could probably scale them with no delay or schedules necessary.

[Truce]

If it was autoAdminCheck though, I believe you have to return the parent.

[lilboarder32]

Now, on the original idea, how would you make it so when a player spawns onto a brick, it processes an onSpawn input event? Cuz, from what I have experienced, when you spawn, it doesn't seem to trigger onPlayerTouch right away. Or would that have something to do with server lag?

[Ephialtes]

That's inbuilt protection to stop starfishs making killing spawntraps. It gives a chance for people to get off the bricks doing the killing.

Damn noobs ruin everything.

The minigame spawn functions return a transform, not a brick ID - you can't get the brick players have spawned on without hacky raycasts or badly overwriting the entire spawn code which isn't very good.

If we had something like "Minigame Events" a onPlayerSpawn event would be handy as then any abusiveness could be stopped by leaving the minigame. (or server if it's one of those forced ones)
