How To: Respawn a player

I have seen many people struggle with this and am myself one of them (this effort was actually for the respawn portion of my CTF). I decided to finally figure out the perfect way to spawn a player in pawn and here is what I have come up with.

Code:

#include <fun>
#include <fakemeta>

//Call This
public respawn_player(id)
{
    if(is_user_connected(id))
    {
        //Make the engine think he is spawning
        set_pev(id,pev_deadflag,DEAD_RESPAWNABLE);
        set_pev(id, pev_iuser1, 0);
        dllfunc(DLLFunc_Think,id)

        //Move his body so if corpse is created it is not in map
        engfunc(EngFunc_SetOrigin,id,Float:{-4800.0,-4800.0,-4800.0})

        //Actual Spawn
        set_task(0.5,"spawnagain",id)
    }
}

public spawnagain(id)
{
    //Make sure he didn't disconnect in the 0.5 seconds that have passed.
    if(is_user_connected(id))
    {
        //Spawn player
        spawn(id)
        dllfunc(DLLFunc_Spawn,id)

        //After 1.0 the player will be spawned fully and you can mess with the ent (give weapons etc)
        //set_task(1.0,"player_fully_spawned",id)
    }
}

Better way, for CS at least:

ExecuteHamB(Ham_CS_RoundRespawn,player)

offtopic: honestly HAM is a blessing but I really don't want to use it because 50% of the servers I play in use 1.76d.

Re: How To: Respawn a player

All you need to respawn a player is this:

Code:

set_pev( id, pev_deadflag, DEAD_RESPAWNABLE )

You get your default weapons back as well, the only draw back to this is if you call it instantly ie when a player dies straight away.
I think 3 seconds was the delay else you have to set the above flag and call:

Code:

dllfunc( DLLFunc_Spawn, id )

Regardless its not really logical to respawn a player instantly as soon as they die so just setting the pev_deadflag is sufficient with a task greater than 3 seconds from DeathMsg event.

Re: How To: Respawn a player

Code:

stock fm_user_spawn(id)
{
 if(!(1 <= id <= global_get(glb_maxClients)))
  return;
 
 if(!is_user_alive(id))
 {
  set_pev(id, pev_deadflag, DEAD_RESPAWNABLE);
  dllfunc(DLLFunc_Think, id);
 }
 else
  dllfunc(DLLFunc_Spawn, id);
}

I remember that setting the flag to DEAD_RESPAWNABLE and then use DLLFunc_Spawn didn't work properly, so DLLFunc_Think is just fine.

Yeah your right, your think flag gets cleared upon death. I think it gets set to -1.0 if I remember rightly.

Does that mean you can respawn instantly using that technique Alka?
DEAD_RESPAWNABLE
THINK

I know when I discovered this many moons ago, I had it worked out you could just call: DEAD_RESPAWNABLE after 3 seconds of death else you had to use DEAD_RESPAWNABLE and SPAWN. I know that was the technique we used in Soccer/Football Mod.

Re: How To: Respawn a player

Would be usefull to explain how to set properly the hud then, i remember that when i tried to make an amx version of gungame i had lot of problems with that, some times players have no knife and no crosshair.

fakemeta_util :

Code:

stock fm_cs_user_spawn(index) {
    set_pev(index, pev_deadflag, DEAD_RESPAWNABLE);
    dllfunc(DLLFunc_Spawn, index);
    set_pev(index, pev_iuser1, 0);

    return 1;
}

Are you taking the piss or is that really in FM_Util? If it is why does it have CS prefix :grrr:

Also it seems it should be: dllfunc( DLLFunc_Think, index ) not DLLFunc_Spawn
