Player spawn location problem

Die_In_Fire · Jun 11, 2013

In some stages. when player loses a life, it respawns inside walls or over the walls...
how can I prevent this?

it doesn't work for me...

Mmm.. I tested the script and works.
delete this code

Code:

	@script
		void self = getlocalvar("self");
		int p = getentityproperty(self, "playerindex");
		int animpos = getentityproperty(self, "animpos");

		if ( animpos == 1 ) {
        		float x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
        		float z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
        		float a = getentityproperty(self, "a");

            		setglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_x", x);
            		setglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_z", z);
            		setglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_a", a);
			setglobalvar("last_player_spawned", self);
		}
	@end_script

no longer need to write that code anymore.
if u take an error, can u post Whole log file?

I deleted it, but the crash continue, always after I select a game mode aka loading a stage. this is the log:

Mmm...
I tested spawn.c again and it works!!
My openBOR ver is OpenBOR v3.0 Build 3949.
Yours?
Oh then try to disable temporary your animation script.
In this way my script works?

White Dragon · Jun 23, 2013

does it crash at the beginning or after a death?

Die_In_Fire · Jun 23, 2013

It crashes while loading the stage.

I'm at work, so when I go home I will see which openbor build I have. It could maybe a problem that I'm using an older build. That said, I will download 3949 if I'm not already using it

However, your previous script was working fine

EDIT: Just tried build 3949, but same error, same log. it crashes after I select a game mode, before the select screen

White Dragon · Jun 24, 2013

try to disable temporary your animationscript.
we need to understand what it depends

EDIT: tested script on another game and it works.

Die_In_Fire · Jun 24, 2013

so somehow is conflicting with some other script...
I send you a pm with the mod. Is not a big of a deal as I can always go back to your previous script ;D

problem solved!! check pm

ABK · Jul 4, 2013

Problem becomes interesting when i want to spawn character on platform moving left/right. ;D

White Dragon · Jul 4, 2013

in that case u need to add script.
for example, during a Death get the floating Platform entity (if u stay on a Platform)
Then when u respawn get Platform coords and change position on it ^__^

Die_In_Fire · Jul 4, 2013

BWWd, you could create a custom respawn animation on which the character floats in the air for a limited time or until player press some button. Many old platformers do it that way.

ABK · Jul 4, 2013

yea its made like this in rayman, i thought about this, maybe ill try it

aL BeasTie · Jun 6, 2015

You can check if player exists first,

Code:

void p1 = getplayerproperty(0, "entity");
void p2 = getplayerproperty(1, "entity");

if(getentityproperty(p1, "exists")) {

 
}

aL BeasTie · Jun 7, 2015

You could check the other player's position and spawn on that position +10 pixels for example. Not sure about WD's script thou.

Did you try bWWd's script method in respawn anim?

Code:

	@script
    	void self = getlocalvar("self");
    	int x = getindexedvar(0); //Get respawn x coordinate
    	int z = getentityproperty(self,"z"); //Get character's z coordinate
    	int a = getindexedvar(1); //Get respawn a coordinate

    	if(x==NULL()){
      	x = getentityproperty(self, "x");

    	}

    	if(a!=NULL()){
      	if(frame == 0){
        changeentityproperty(self, "position", x, z, a+100);
      	 }
    	}
	@end_script

O Ilusionista · Jun 7, 2015

Maggas, maybe you can prevent the other player to join while your character is climbing to avoid this.
I made a code for that: http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/index.php?topic=1911.0

Bloodbane · Jun 8, 2015

I think bWWd's respawn script is similar to mine
One thing I usually do is set respawn point again after player has reached certain scrollpos or waits
