multiple spawns idea, color dependant

[Leeizazombie]

would it be possible to create a command that can set color spawns eg: /setspawn red so that people with a red colored name would spawn at it when they are dead, idk if its out there but i thought it would be a good thing to use for making tons of games

Yes that is possible. You said you know how to code a little in another post of yours so I'll just go over it briefly to give you some direction.

You can save the spawn point when they set a spawn, for example in a text file; something like:

Code: Select all

// Called when the players uses /setspawn [message] where the message is split into string[] spawnPoint
// i.e. /setspawn red 12 64 23 - You could call the SaveSpawnPoint method with the string "red" for the team, and the string[] { "12", "64", "23" } for the position to save.
public void SaveSpawnPoint(string[] spawnPoint, string team)
{
   File.WriteAllText("extra/spawning/" + team + ".txt", spawnPoint[0] + " " + spawnPoint[1] + " " + spawnPoint[2]);
}


Meanwhile, take advantage of the Player.ExtraData Dictionary to store the players team. So when they respawn, you can check what team they're on, and check where their spawn point is;

Code: Select all

// The key to use for the dictionary
public const string TeamKey = "PlayerTeam";

// Sets the player to a certain team
public void SetPlayerTeam(Player p, string team)
{
   if (!p.ExtraData.ContainsKey(TeamKey))
   {
       p.ExtraData.Add(TeamKey, team);
   }
   p.ExtraData[TeamKey] = team;
}

// When the player spawns, send them to the team's spawn point
public void SpawnTeamPlayer(Player p)
{
   string[] spawnPos = File.ReadAllText("extra/spawning/" + (p.ExtraData[TeamKey]).ToString() + ".txt").Split(' ');
   unchecked
   {
       p.SendPos((byte)-1, (ushort)spawnPos[0], (ushort)spawnPos[1], (ushort)spawnPos[2], p.rot[0], p.rot[1]);
   }
}


I hope that might help you.

I'm going to look trought it thank you so much

So if i wanted my 1st spawn in the middle of a 128 128 128 map its code should be like this? spawnPoint[0] + "64 65 64 "

It all depends on how you're going to code it. If you want to save it to the text file like I showed in the example, then you'd have to call the method from your command with the correct arguments. So if you wanted a spawn point for the red team, at the centre of the map, you could call the method like:

Code: Select all

string[] redSpawn = { "64", "64", "64" };
string team = "red";

SaveSpawnPoint(redSpawn, team);

Hey there, when I mentioned I know a bit about coding I meant that I can read it and understand how it works I know HTML and I have an idea on javascript, I'm new to C# completely, and I am interested in it, but I have no idea how to use the spawns code and put it in a command, compile error? or it has to be with a command?

ok in this code I left you a lot of little notes; If you need any other help just feel free to post it on here :p.

This is amazing help thanks, altough i get this error code during /compile

Code: Select all

Another question, umm what program do you use? I use notepad and i predict its not the best thing to use lol

[ismellike]

For the first response, update your mcdzienny_.dll version

2nd response, use microsoft visual studio c#.

It's free but it takes some time to download .

[Leeizazombie]

Um how do I ugrade the dll? where do i download it?
Dang, no hope with that on an Android Hotspot lol, il get notepad++ for the time being
