Boundary and spawn

[hth]

Was wondering how to set boundaries on a map, also wondering how to set spawn location, I'm make a small map less than 300x300

I believe Pyspades can limit boundaries (never tried it)

Maps are always 512X512. You could, perhaps, set a smaller map within a larger body of water and turn on water damage.

I'm still having difficulty understanding the spawn and intel location, can someone please help?

Thanks in advance

Thats weird, I'm not suppose to spawn in water (level 0), but the game still does it :/ the main level of my map is suppose to be level 25

With the PySpades map script you would need something like this:

Code: Select all

def get_entity_location(team, entity_id):
    if entity_id == BLUE_FLAG:
        return (92, 357, 42)
    if entity_id == BLUE_BASE:
        return (93, 360, 52)
    if entity_id == GREEN_FLAG:
        return (396, 101, 42)
    if entity_id == GREEN_BASE:
        return (398, 102, 52)


This bit for example sets the location of the Blue Flag to x: 92, y: 357, z:42 (Z being the height):
if entity_id == BLUE_FLAG:
return (92, 357, 42)

The first line you set what entity/object you want to set, and the second is the location.

if you are making a smaller map, you will also need to set the player spawn location.

Not sure what your map looks like, but the game will spawn you in water if nothing of a higher elevation is available.

Something else to take note of is that the intel will spawn in the exact same place everytime, in the same order from round to round. It's location seems to be based upon something in the map itself. Kind of takes the random placement factor out of custom map games a bit but no big deal.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I'm having issues setting up custom spawns in pyspades. Here's my code:

Code: Select all

from pyspades.constants import *
from pyspades.server import ServerConnection

def get_spawn_location(connection):       
    if connection.team is connection.protocol.blue_team:       
   x, y, z = ServerConnection.get_spawn_location(connection)       
   return ServerConnection.set_location_safe(connection, (204, 256, 50))
    if connection.team is connection.protocol.green_team:       
   x, y, z = ServerConnection.get_spawn_location(connection)       
   return ServerConnection.set_location_safe(connection, (308, 256, 50))

def get_entity_location(team, entity_id):   
    if entity_id == BLUE_BASE:             
   return (204, 240, 1)
    if entity_id == BLUE_FLAG:             
   return (204, 277, 1)
    if entity_id == GREEN_BASE:                       
   return (308, 273, 1)
    if entity_id == GREEN_FLAG:                       
   return (308, 235, 1)

The intel and bases spawn where I want them, but players don't spawn at all! The game just stays on the weapon select screen! And pyspades give me some error about "Nonetype not having position property" or something. And it's not just my script, the official example doesn't work either. So how am I supposed to fix this?

I haven't the foggiest notion. I see you posted this in the pyspades help section which is good. I'll point it out on the #pyspades channel on quakenet IRC.
