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

but this is for normal levels, not 2d levels, with direction right, left or both.
before the player was spawned over the wall, but now is being spawned inside the walls, I don't know why. I dont know if changing build did alter this behaviour.

I've solved this problem by recording coords on safe moments!!
Then on spawn/respawn I take these coords and I set those coords for the player.
A bit of code:
Now in your script call:
set_coords_predeath(self);
set_coords(self);
Your chara will respawn exactly on prev position!!
Then I wrote also a func to respawn in the right position if your chara spawn for the first time while some chara is in game/level yet.
But this func is a bit complex.
If you join later:
Call this func in your script with: check_respawn(self,15);
By this way your chara will join in right position.
The func will perform a spiral around last player spawned as long as there is a right position.
Only thing you HAVE TO SET a globalvar:
@cmd setglobalvar "last_player_spawned" getlocalvar("self")
You HAVE to set this globalvar at the second frame on your spawn/respawn animation.
It's all!!
Ps. param threshold (15) is the distance from last player spawned
Then on spawn/respawn I take these coords and I set those coords for the player.
A bit of code:
Code:
int set_coords(void player) {
if ( getentityproperty(player, "animationid") == openborconstant("ANI_RESPAWN") ) {
float x,z,a;
int p = getentityproperty(player, "playerindex"); // non puoi ricavarti il player con getentityproperty(getplayerproperty(p, "entity")) poichè non esiste ancora
int t;
x = getglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_x");
z = getglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_z");
a = getglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_a");
if ( x != NULL() && z != NULL() && a != NULL() ) { // se sono nulle allora non è mai stato nel livello il personaggio. Verrà eseguita l'animazione RESPAWN
changeentityproperty(player, "position", x, z, a);
}
}
}
int set_coords_predeath(void player) {
int frames = 2, mem_frames = 150; // 150
int refresh_time = openborvariant("elapsed_time")%frames;
int anim_id = getentityproperty(player, "animationid");
if ( refresh_time == 0 && anim_id != openborconstant("ANI_SPAWN") && anim_id != openborconstant("ANI_RESPAWN") ) {
float x = getentityproperty(player, "x");
float z = getentityproperty(player, "z");
float a = getentityproperty(player, "a");
float base = getentityproperty(player, "base");
int p = getentityproperty(player, "playerindex");
if ( ( anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_IDLE") || anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_RUN") || anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_WALK") || anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_LAND")
|| anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_GET") || anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_BLOCK") || anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_UP") || anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_DOWN")
|| anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_JUMPLAND") )
&& checkhole(x,z) == 0 && (a == base) ) {
setglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_x", x);
setglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_z", z);
setglobalvar("p"+(p+1)+"respawn_a", a);
}
}
}Now in your script call:
set_coords_predeath(self);
set_coords(self);

I can't. I have some levels that have small walls that interact with player and enemies.utunnels said:

Maybe you can place your character from the start with this I think:
If it doesn't work for you, you can copy the two .txt files I have for spawning and respawning. You may need to make new .txt files and rename them in the following.
1spawn.txt:
Respawn.txt:
Here's an example of a stage I have for respawn and 1spawn in a level. Spawning them is tricky. You need to know/understand about the number of scrollpos (at) for location in order where the entities are going to be spawned, but with total distance.
Here's a character spawn and respawn anims as example:
Bloodbane helped me on the set for the spawns.
Please excuse the 1spawn.txt 'cause I think it's 1 player. I think if you remove the P1 under that when you want all players to spawn where you are, you can modify or change it. You can change the name from '1spawn' to 'spawn' 'cause I have it for 1 player. I don't know about yours. You can try to figure it out I think.

To use my code use script event to call these func:
1) create spawn.c and write my funcs.
2) Then write in chara.txt -> script data/scripts/spawn.c to call the script on script event
3) Then in spawn.c write in the main:
set_coords_predeath(self);
set_coords(self);
check_respawn(self,15);
4) Write @cmd setglobalvar "last_player_spawned" getlocalvar("self") ABOVE the SECOND frame of your spawn/respawn anim.

White Dragon, here's my question. How can I get to respawn characters without killing himself or dying of respawning after going back near the beginning of the stage from an ending part for ending a level? It's because when I walk from ending a level to near the beginning of level and I fall down to a pit, the character keeps killing himself every time I press start to continue and I keep losing credits after falling. I already set the offscreenkill value to 17000 or 30000, but my character keeps doing it (I guess). I think I have a respawning problem.

Mmm.. tell me, have you used my script?
because I check for a hole...
If u use my script you'll respawn at last SAFE position ^__^

Update:
Intstead of @cmd setglobalvar "last_player_spawned" getlocalvar("self")
Use this code into a spawn/respawn anim:
Example:
Intstead of @cmd setglobalvar "last_player_spawned" getlocalvar("self")
Use this code into a spawn/respawn anim:
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_scriptExample:
Code:
anim SPAWN
@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");

White Dragon, what is the difference using this new updated method?

latest script a bit buggy.
Now the script works on walls and on platforms and no longer need to set @cmd setglobalvar etc...

}To use this new code:
1) Copy all prev script and write it in spawn.c file.
2) Then in your chara.txt write
script data/scripts/spawn.c
Ps. I advice you to clearglobalvar(); at the beginning of a level with:
Code:
levelscript @script
void main() {
clearglobalvar();
}
