sdk question

[hexploit]

in hammer, when u create a info_player_terrorist object, just 1, do all of the terrorists start in that area then? is it the same with counter-terrorists if they do?

 

[Exavior]

you need one for each player

 

[hexploit]

well what if i put 2 on, there is 4 players, 2 on each team, then someone else joins?? do i just put loads of them on? like 20 in the same area?

...you need one for each player


you want 20 players, you need 20 spawn points.

 

[hexploit]

what if i put 20 on there (10 on each team) and 21 join, would it just say that the team is full?? or what if i add 20, and 19 ppl are playing 9 on t and 10 on ct, what happens to the spare one on terrorists does that just remain empty until someone joins??

i know i must seem stupid but hey, im new and i'll learn.

As far as I know, if you have 20 players and 20 spawn points, a 21st person would not be able to connect, or at least not join as anything other than a spectator.

Spawn points are just points where characters are spawned, so an unused spawn point will be no different than a used spawn point. If you have 19 people the 20th spawn point will only be used when person 20 joins.

i get it now, thanks

doesn't matter

So it doesnt double up like in the Q3 engine?

 

[Eclipso]

typically your spawn point is touching a brush or an entity, good rule of thumb is move it around 5-10 units away from walls and a few units above the ground and 99.9% of the time it will solve this problem.

Thanks but I didn't have a problem with spawns, just wanted to know if the Source engine will assign two people to a spawn point if they're all taken. It does this in the Q3 engine for example.
