Team-based bipeds

[Kavawuvi 7,026]

So I see SAPP has an EVENT_PRESPAWN callback.

I'm working on addressing the problem with collision models. Apparently it's not very usable in multiplayer, otherwise. I've used EVENT_PRESPAWN countless times already. Edited December 9, 2014 by 002

Some changes:

• Added SAPP support. It uses the new 1.7.0.0 scripting API, which means that there are no collision model or hitbox issues.
• Dropped Phasor support. The older Phasor script is available in the spoiler below, but I will not bother solving any issues with it. The event used isn't compatible with the Phasor API, and a workaround would be more complicated than it is worth, so one would have to make a new script.

002 makes too many of these proof of concept videos.

Phasor Script: https://gist.github.com/Halogen002/c8afd0252858077d7f68

Substitute elitetag_path with whatever variable you want.

To people who will probably say "zomg but sapp has scripting": SAPP does have scripting and it has a player spawning event, but it's timed after clients are notified that they have spawned, which means that only players who have joined after the respawn will see changes. I've suggested an event to occur before players are notified, and sehé said "Ok I'll add it.", so it should (assuming it was implemented the right way) be possible in the next version of SAPP, which then I will provide a script for SAPP.

ok so I have this problem running this script. Sometimes the teambipeds work and yet on other games it reverts back to the normal bipeds assigned to the map

 

1) I am running CTF mode

2) I have blue team set as a "Pirate Biped"

3) screencap of my bipeds in map (below)

Hi Down Under,

 

Did you ever get this script - or one like it - working?

 

I'm trying to run it on a Bigass CTF and having the same problem you did.

 

Thanks.
