Spawn Point
 

like i said, i did gs1, so i still use if (playerdead).
can someone help? heres script.

setlevel2(); is clientside.

You should check for the event of when the player's dying. Like onPlayerDies().

Then you should trigger the server to set the level.

Also, setlevel2's syntax is:

setlevel2(level name as String, x as float, y as float);

:P

Also, you can't do...

That was a GS1 event, in GS2 it's a null temp variable and won't work that way. Also, setlevel2() is used wrong as well. The first parameters for the function should be the level name and then the x and y to place the player at. It also needs to be serverside. I would suggest reading the wiki to try and find a few good tutorials on scripting as well as trying to findout which functions and things are serverside only as such.

Ya...
Would assume the player is dead when the NPC is created. Even in GS1, there is the if (playerdies) event for something like this. Other than what's already been repeated... I can't really see what else there is to add.
I suggest studying up on clientside/serverside as well as what are events, booleans and so on.

simple as that.

No it's not, again, the player has to have already been dead when the NPC is created.

function onCreated(){
if (player.hp <= 0 ) {
setlevel2("hospital.nw",x,y);
}
}
doesnt work

there is a gs2 function for dieing...

function onPlayerDies(){
//this is the gs2 way
}

That should work without much lag. If there is lag, then use this:

I know, hence my comment "event in GS1".

Okay then, use this on that I posted above xD:

setlevel2 won't work on the clientside, it did work before gs2, but no longer..

I thought NPC-Server would have caused the change: not the language :confused:

It was definitely made serverside on the release of the NPC-Server.

I distinctively remember having to trigger to serverside when I scripted warp rings for an old project I was working on BEFORE the release of GS2.

The first one won't work because that's serverside, and usually when a serverside script is initialized it is not in the scope of the player.

Isn't onPlayerDies clientside only? If it is that won't work either becauset setlevel2() is serverside only.

Not tested, don't hurt me if it doesnt work ;[

I remmeber back way I made some clientside stuff if you say something I just did setlevel2 to warp them to a secret place ;o

onPlayerDies is both, however, they act differently.

On clientside, it triggers when the actual player dies. On serverside, it triggers when anybody dies :P

It'll set the level but I doubt you want to go to the hospital when someone else dies.

As I said, check for when the player dies, trigger to serverside and then set the level.

if you're creating the script on a single level, that's fine. if you want to automatically warp the player to the hospital whenever he/she dies in any level, one way of doing this is by adding it to players as a weapon script, which is added to all players when they log in.

how i'd personally do this is incorporate it inside a weapon script file. basically what i have is a custom GUI and it handles 3 things: updating GUI, checking player's heart count and warp them to OSL if their heart count is 0 and display event warper when an event is going on.

Examples in this thread have been horrendous.

Weapon:

And for a single level:

Looking back at this thread since the recent posts.
I forgot to use //#CLIENTSIDE stuff xD Also I recently, like, 2 weeks ago found out setlevel2() was serverside :\ I R STOOPID.

You made a good point Tig, they were kind of that..
although you could letup on the less advanced scripting peoples
than yourself :p

if (playerenters) {
toweapons -spawn;
}

if (playerdies){
sleep 0.1;
setlevel2 levelname.nw,x,y;
}

that's what i use for re spawning but my world is offline and i don't have a npc server so it may not work for you

Isnt triggeraction always asking for atleast 4 arguments?

yes @ crow

Hah, I so knew it :p

1) That isn't setup right.
2) There's no distinct client/server side to this script.

He said he is using it offline...

triggeraction(x + 0.5, y + 0.5, "Died", null);

sorry

You dont have to be sorry, that happens alot :o

Oh I didn't see that...

Edit:
No, he said his SERVER is offline and has no NPC Control. He said he USES it.

Ok Switch, again, slowly, just for you. He said his world is offline. He also said he doesnt have an npc server. So if you add those two, what does that mean? Right! He has no playerworld, he makes things offline, in the editor! I never said he doesnt use it btw...

No, I'm saying he said he uses it on servers. Atleast that's how he posted it.

"that's what i use for re spawning but my world is offline and i don't have a npc server so it may not work for you"

Offline world...no NPC-Server....sounds like a level editor world to me. Read his statement carefully, Switch.

Wrong. Fail. Read again.
