Teleport player on trigger

Hi there.

I wrote the script.
When a player touches the triggers will be teleported.
Below is the script.

PHP Code:

---

trigers_spawn()
{    
    player = self;
    trig = spawn("trigger_radius", (1242,2269,284),1,60,60);
    
    while(true)
    {
        trig waittill("trigger", player);
        player iprintlnbold("^2`^7Trigger^2.");
            self setorigin(1237,1110,250);
    }
} 


---

PHP Code:

---

trigers_spawn()
{    
    player = self;
    trig = spawn("trigger_radius", (1242,2269,284),1,60,60);
    
    while(true)
    {
        trig waittill("trigger", player);
        player iprintlnbold("^2`^7Trigger^2.");
        player setorigin(1237,1110,250); // changed this line only
    }
} 


---

Try it that way, should work

You should always check that the player:

1. is alive;
2. isn't a spectator;
3. is touching the trigger.

PHP Code:

---

trigers_spawn()
{    
    trig = spawn( "trigger_radius", (1242,2269,284), 1, 60, 60 );
    
    while( true )
    {
        trig waittill( "trigger", player );
        
        if( isPlayer( player ) && isAlive( player ) && player.sessionteam != "spectator" && player isTouching( trig ) )
        {
            player iprintlnbold("^2`^7Trigger^2.");
            player setorigin( 1237,1110,250 );
        }
    }
}

        {

            player setorigin( 1237,1110,250 );
        }
    }
}

1. true
2. If alive (or checking sessionstate == "playing"), then spectator check should not be necessary
3. trigger_radius will always be touched upon activating it

2. Spectator's are "alive", since their sessionstate is not "dead". If an entity is not "dead" then they are classed as "alive":

Quote:

---

IsAlive( <entity> )

1 : <entity> An entity object that might be alive or dead

---

Hence, there is a need to check their sessionteam to not do damage and not trigger triggers since all "alive" entities can do both.

3. Checking if a player is actually touching a trigger radius prevents the trigger being triggered through walls (if the trigger is near a wall and the radius is big enough to intersect a wall).

Spectator ISN'T alive, since spectator doesnt got HP,
if you don't belive, do if(isAlive(self) && self.sesstionteam == "spectator") self iprintlnBold("ALIVE");

And you know better than the developers do you? They saw the need to do 3 checks in CTF gametype:

PHP Code:

---

if(isPlayer(other) && isAlive(other) && (other.pers["team"] != "spectator")) 


---

Why would they need to check the team if all that was needed was the alive check?

Alive and dead are absolute states: if you aren't dead, you are alive. And spectators are not dead - the sessionstate of "dead" is not placed on any entity other than "dead" players. Hence the developers - i.e. those that actually wrote the engine - saw the need to return no damage against a sessionteam check and not a simple "alive" check (check out the callback player damge function). Same for all death threads (check out the callback player killed function). The engine will run such things on all but "dead" entities - including spectators.

Thats why i was talking about checking sessionstate for "playing" instead of checking for alive && !spectator. (unsure what sessionstate for intermission is, but def not "playing")

I have no experience on the triggers through walls part, so it might indeed be necessary, but i cannot wrap my head around how you can trigger a trigger_radius without actually touching it or how istouching() could magically prevent you from triggering it through walls...

I see. So, let me get this straight - a failure in your imagination determines truth or falsity? As you said, you lack experience with triggers. Gain more experience, and you might be able to "get your head around it".
