Turbosphere spawning in LMS?

[Fuzzball]

I've got an issue- (hint hint dodgeball doom-)
On one of the maps I wish to spawn in a Turbosphere at the start, the 2 more ever 1050 tics.
I've got a mapspot 9001 with the correct TID (33) but the turbospheres are not spawning at all! D;
Tested with a message and that shows (yeah ignore that message... xD)- so the script is being activated...but NO SPHERES!

Code: Select all

//Spawn turbo
Script 06 OPEN 
{
delay (50);
print(s:"Turbo *****");
SpawnSpot ("Turbosphere",33);
delay (1050);
SpawnSpot ("Turbosphere",33);
delay (1050);
SpawnSpot ("Turbosphere",33);
}

No idea what is going on...

I know why you're having a problem, your script doesn't have a Restart flag at the end of it's line. You should have something that looks like this.

[spoiler]//Spawn turbo
Script 06 OPEN
{
delay (50);
print(s:"Turbo *****");
SpawnSpot ("Turbosphere",33);
delay (1050);
Restart;
}[/spoiler]

See if that solves the problem.

Nonono it's not spawning in the first place, regardless. :p

[Fuzzball]

Yeah...however that will be useful to add once it DOES work- having them spawn forever would be fun.. :P
But yeah..they are not even spawning in the first place. It's not to do with testing or flags- I can summon one ingame via console "Summon Turbosphere" and that will spawn one as normal...but script? Nop

Try using Thing_Spawn. http://zdoom.org/wiki/Thing_Spawn
That should let you summon the sphere you want.

[Fuzzball]

That didn't work either...

Code: Select all

//Spawn turbo
Script 06 OPEN 
{
delay (50);
Thing_Spawn (33,5030,0,0);
delay (1050);
restart;
}

Then I have no idea. It may require experimenting with the other Spawning actions for the script, I'm not really understanding why this isn't working either.

=/ Well it isn't the end of the world just yet...but it would be a nice addition to one of the maps...
Ah well will have to mess about with it another time x.x
Thank you for the advice though!

[Mr.Man]

...did you include skulltag_actors.pk3?
Thats all i can think of...

EDIT: or maybe they dont have enough room to spawn?

Try using SpawnSpotForced.

Oh wow do people still play DodgeBall Doom?

I saw a 5v5 game of it going on just earlier today.

And I saw 7v7 match this week. I remember playing that mod back in 2008, it was so popular back then...

SpawnSpotForced is unfortunately out of zandronum range... again. Try using function Spawn and specify the X/Y/Z coordinates. There might be a problem that it doesn't want to spawn due to hitbox collisions.
