Moving spawn point with a vehicle

(Mean Mr. Mustard) #1

Is it possible to attach a team_spawnflag to a vehicle/scriptmover? (and have it move along a spline path?)

I’ve tried a few things, but it doesn’t look like you can make a team_spawn flag as part of an entity such as a script mover. I also just tried attaching the team_spawn flag to a tag on a truck. No luck.

So, am I wasting my time? Had an idea for a map that could use this concept. If it isn’t possible, oh well.

hmmmzz… what if you made a pile of spawn points along the spline path and just switched to the spawn depending on the position of your vehicle? sounds like a lot more scripting to do it but…

Yeah, that was a thought also…

The scripting would just involve alerting the spawn entities, I think (when the vehicle was at a spline point), which is doable

But you know us mappers, always want the easier way… :smiley:

does sound like an intresting idea though… as your vehicle progresses, so does your spawn, it its done in a HUGE map, it would be nice. at least huge in the way of distance.

It should be possible afaik, don’t have any map around to show it off right now, but i did have spawn points following a moving object once.

Cool! Now that I know it can be done… I’ll keep trying to figure it out.

:banana:

Hmm… sounds cool. Although, if you attached to a tag, you’d only get 2 spawn poinst on the truck before people start spawning in / on each other I’d imagine.
