Spawn Zones

[darkid]

So... i'm trying to make a map where you don't spawn at your base. However, when I join, I always spawn on the base. I'm using:

Code: Select all

zone Purple_Spawn_Area
 pos 159 159 22
 size 90 45 1
 team 4
 rot 135
end

for the spawn area.
Any ideas anyone?

I believe that when you join you ALWAYS spawn on the base... I could be wrong.

Add this to your map:

Code: Select all

# world object
world
        # players will not spawn on the base
        freeCtfSpawns
end

Alright... thank you. New question.
Here is some very simple code which I am running:

Code: Select all

world
 size 500
end

material
 name clear
 diffuse 0 0 0 0
end

box
 name 1
 pos 0 0 0
 size 10 10 10
 drivethrough
 matref clear
end

If you run a server (use your favorite localhost port) with this box, you will be UNABLE TO DRIVE THROUGH IT, despite the drivethrough line. Any ideas?

it's a known bug. Use meshbox instead of box.

basicly, if you apply a matref and drivethrough to box, it won't work for some reason or another.
using meshbox will fix it.

the box object originally didn't allow matrefs anyways, and I guess the implementation is a little buggy. Just use meshbox for all boxes with materials.
