Question- mainly for Nil

Post by Fortune » Fri Jan 22, 2010 2:56 pm

So i remember seeing the random teleporter mod. Had to do with memory modding and i was thinking- is there a way to create a random spawn generator, just like the random teleporter?

No. what i mean is around the map, like a red spawning on the cliffs while a blue spawns on the hill by red base.
And actually its not all that random. Some spawn points see, to be more used than others in smaller matches.

I haven't actually tried it so I can't be totally sure but I think it would be possible, just a bit more difficult. You'd have to find the memory address for each spawn point. The biggest problem is that you can't determine the height of the terrain so what you have to do is spawn them at the height of the tallest hill and then take out fall damage (I had to do that with the tele thing as well).

It's probably just as effective to move the spawn points around to more obscure places with swordedit. I think there are enough of them to make it a bit random.

It's possible, I may do it if I have the time / feel like doing it for Demo.

Just move the spawn points around the map. it's CSS and it would be very unusual to play.

In the Demo, for CTF games at least, you will tend to spawn right next to your teammates.

Changing the spawn points in the map is probably the easiest way to go about it.
I am no longer active to Halo or MGM, and don't guarantee a response on the forums or through email. I will however linger around the discord room for general chatting. It's been fun!
