Tank Spawn Rotation

Post by Zechariah »

Is there a way to make tanks spawn facing a particular direction? I have four zones and I would like to have tanks all spawn facing the center of the map.
I searched the forums but didn't see anything on this.

Thanks!

You would need to write a plugin to do that. There's an event in the bzfs API that would let you alter the spawn parameters.

Plugin made specifically for this map. Spawn facing the center. Could be used for other maps. Thanks L4M3R.

Take a look at my Defender game mode concept.

Thinking is not an automatic process. A man can choose to think or to let his mind stagnate, or he can choose actively to turn against his intelligence, to evade his knowledge, to subvert his reason. If he refuses to think, he courts disaster: he cannot with impunity reject his means of perceiving reality.
