i`m was using superspawns for supply boxes and one thing that bugged me was that boxes were spawning on top of the map, or on a tree... so what i ended up doing, was setting seperate min and max coordinates for every map.

DjSoftero sad same here xD no solution
is there anyone willing to help me i think i have to find some other method to achieve this
sometime players spawn middle of the wall/behind the box/top
check screenshot

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <hamsandwich>
#include <superspawns>

public plugin_init()
{
   GetSpawnPoints()
   register_clcmd("say /spawn","spawn_player");
   RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn, "player", "fwdPlayerSpawnPost", 1);
   }
   
GetSpawnPoints()
{
    SsInit(3500.0);
    SsScan();
}

public fwdPlayerSpawnPost(id)
{
    if(is_user_alive(id))
    {
        static Float:origin[3];
        for(;;)
        {
            if(SsGetOrigin(origin))
            {
                entity_set_vector(id, EV_VEC_origin, origin);
                break;
            }
            GetSpawnPoints();
        }
    }
}

public spawn_player(id)
{
 ExecuteHamB(Ham_CS_RoundRespawn,id);
} 


This is B side and behind the box

Thanks everyone

aron9forever, already told you why this happens and I'm pretty sure there is almost no way to avoid this with random spawn generator... Best solution is to use predefined spawn positions. So, you can add an admin command which get current player origins, writes it to a file and when you want to spawn a player on random position, simply take random position from that file. You have to play a bit more with reading/writing data in files, but this gonna work better for your needs.

So best way is by making manual spawn points or if you stile wanting this idea use superspawns

[aron9forever]

by the way CSDM also uses defined points, they are not auto-generated, but it comes with settings for common maps

you can fix blocked points by checking that there is enough space for the player to actually spawn

have a look at map spawns editor, especially the part with block safety. It has a feature that it will not let you make a spawn if it's too close to walls, ceiling floor or other spawns. You could "borrow" the code from there and apply it every time you check for a spawn


mind this, if you want this for a server with lots of respawns like csdm or gungame, I would suggest generating some spawns at load and saving them in memory, if u get a random one every time someone spawns and then check if its valid, that's a lot of cpu usage, because these sorts of checks rely on while loops to iterate through the world and see if you hit anything (like is_user_outside stock in weather plugins)

aron9forever Thank you so much for the advice i will look into csdm and will use
KiLLeR. Thanks i will try to use file as aron said it will consume more cpu as its going to calculate everytime you spawn
D3XT3R Thanks

yeah, i just told you the solution. set the maximal height for each map seperately

but how ?
Thanks

To check if the spawn point is in the playable area you would need to use pathfinding, with the starting point somewhere in the map. If you want to make it only generate spawn points once and save them, instead of generating a new one each time someone spawns, you could use Black Rose's A* to do it.

Anyway, it shouldn't be difficult and shouldn't take more than a few minutes per map if you create a plugin with a nice interface for adding spawn points.

create a file which would hold that data, and on plugin launch, read it.
