ForumsCog Forum → Spawning with different weapons
Spawning with different weapons
2001-10-21, 1:34 PM #1
To accomplish that I edited Kyle.cog.
Everything works fine, except for the host: he loses every weapon apart from the ones you are supposed to spawn with in that level.
It only affects the host, is there a solution?
Or was it even the wrong way to do it?
2001-10-21, 2:00 PM #2
I would think i would just make a start up cog, but im just a newbie so dont mind me [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Editing the kyle.cog is ok. Post the changed parts, and we'll take a look.

Whenever someone respawns, the host will be reset to the rail det and 10 rails.
2001-10-23, 2:24 PM #5
That doesn't happen with the default setting, i.e. Bryar and 50 energy cells, so why does it happen with a rail?

(Or is Kyle.cog the wrong approach?)

I took an unmodified kyle.cog and in init_multi gave the player the raildet and 10 rails. Didn't have any problems when I tested it in multiplayer. IE, I had 30 raildets before and after the other player respawned.

Did you change anything else in the kylecog? And do you have other cogs that reset weapons and such?

No more changes that I can remember, I now took the default .cog as well and just need someone to test it with.
2001-10-24, 12:26 PM #10
Hm, I assigned the Kyle.cog to a level, maybe that is why it does work in this way?
I took an unmodified one and it is still the same result, host loses everything except start weapons when someone spawns.
2001-10-25, 4:33 PM #11
Assiging it to the level, probably got all the "player" value mixed up. So when other player respawns, the "player" value is still pointing to the host, so it sets the hosts weapons rather than the clients.

To overcome, you should explicity address the "player" value in the newplayer message.

Place "player = GetSenderRef()" in the newplayer message right below "newplayer:".

Should fix.
