entity_edict.cpp question [How to respawn a player]

[BackRaw]

I just looked at entity_edict.cpp (hg/src/core/modules/entity/entity_edict.cpp) and there are these lines at the very end:

Syntax: Select all

CLASS_METHOD_TYPEDEF(DispatchSpawn,
    &DispatchSpawn,
    "Dispatches a message to spawn the entity."
)

Can we use that one to respawn a player? Something like

Syntax: Select all

from events import Event
from players import EasyPlayer

@Event
def player_death(GameEvent):
    player = EasyPlayer(GameEvent.GetInt("userid"))

    player.DispatchSpawn() # respawns the player

I don't believe so because CCSPlayer has its own Respawn function you're supposed to call. I think DispatchSpawn is meant more for spawning entities into the map that you created via CreatEntityByName.

Ah, thanks. Is this own respawn function available in the current revision?

I tried using DispatchSpawn on player entities that died on a player_death event when I originally tested the code out, and all it did was remove the ragdolls and seemingly move the entity to a valid spawn location, but did not respawn the player fully.

hhhmmm, okay thanks for the answer I think we should wait until a fully functional method is being developed.

Couldn't it be that this command does something like es_spawnplayer did? So you had to set the Props:

'CCSPlayer.m_iPlayerState' 0
'CBasePlayer.m_lifeState' 512

and then use DispatchSpawn?

[Ayuto]

Yeah, that's right. es_spawnplayer and es_spawnentity are using DispatchSpawn. http://master.build.eventscripts.com/eventscripts/eventscripts2/file/6936a4bee74c/mattie_eventscripts.cpp#l3656
I'm pretty sure that it would work, if you set these props.

I'd be curious to see someone test this out.

Yup, the following works on the newest unreleased version:

Syntax: Select all

from events import Event
from players import EasyPlayer

@Event
def player_say(GameEvent):
    userid = GameEvent.GetInt('userid')
    player = EasyPlayer(userid)
    player.SetPropInt('CCSPlayer.m_iPlayerState', 0)
    player.SetPropInt('CBasePlayer.m_lifeState', 512)
    player.DispatchSpawn()

Well then I hope the new release will come pretty soon! Thank you for testing it by the way
