Is there a way to either

A. Have the player randomly spawn on at the start of a game but make sure to not have another player spawn at the same place with him

OR

B. Add like 5-6 spawns total that each player could randomly spawn at each game

Replace the contents of

(in_zombiemode.gsc)

Code Snippet

Plaintext

coop_player_spawn_placement()
{
	structs = getstructarray( "initial_spawn_points", "targetname" ); 

	flag_wait( "all_players_connected" ); 

	//chrisp - adding support for overriding the default spawning method

	players = get_players(); 

	for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
	{
		players[i] setorigin( structs[i].origin ); 
		players[i] setplayerangles( structs[i].angles ); 
		players[i].spectator_respawn = structs[i];
	}
}

with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	flag_wait( "all_players_connected" );
 
	players = get_players(); 

	//spawn points are split, so grab them both seperately
	north_structs = getstructarray("north_spawn","script_noteworthy");
	south_structs = getstructarray("south_spawn","script_noteworthy");

	side1 = north_structs;
	side2 = south_structs;
	if(randomint(100)>50)
	{
		side1 = south_structs;
		side2 = north_structs;
	}
 
	//spawn players on a specific side, but randomize it up a bit
	for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
	{
 
		//track zombies for sounds
		players[i] thread player_zombie_awareness();
		players[i] thread player_killstreak_timer();

 
		if(i<2)
		{
			players[i] setorigin( side1[i].origin ); 
			players[i] setplayerangles( side1[i].angles );
			players[i].respawn_point = side1[i];
			players[i].spawn_side = side1[i].script_noteworthy;
		}
		else
		{
			players[i] setorigin( side2[i].origin);
			players[i] setplayerangles( side2[i].angles);
			players[i].respawn_point = side2[i];
			players[i].spawn_side = side2[i].script_noteworthy;
		}	
	}

This will give the same randomization affect as in verruckt. Change the struct KVP's as needed.

Ok I got it working, if you would like split spawning in your map like vurrukt replace

Code Snippet

Plaintext

coop_player_spawn_placement()
{
	structs = getstructarray( "initial_spawn_points", "targetname" ); 

	flag_wait( "all_players_connected" ); 

	//chrisp - adding support for overriding the default spawning method

	players = get_players(); 

	for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
	{
		players[i] setorigin( structs[i].origin ); 
		players[i] setplayerangles( structs[i].angles ); 
		players[i].spectator_respawn = structs[i];
	}
}

with this function instead

Code Snippet

Plaintext

coop_player_spawn_placement()
{
	flag_wait( "all_players_connected" );
 
	players = get_players(); 

	//spawn points are split, so grab them both seperately
	north_structs = getstructarray("north_spawn","script_noteworthy");
	south_structs = getstructarray("south_spawn","script_noteworthy");

	side1 = north_structs;
	side2 = south_structs;
	if(randomint(100)>50)
	{
		side1 = south_structs;
		side2 = north_structs;
	}
 
	//spawn players on a specific side, but randomize it up a bit
	for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
	{
 
		//track zombies for sounds
		//players[i] thread player_zombie_awareness();
		//players[i] thread player_killstreak_timer();

 
		if(i<2)
		{
			players[i] setorigin( side1[i].origin ); 
			players[i] setplayerangles( side1[i].angles );
			players[i].respawn_point = side1[i];
			players[i].spawn_side = side1[i].script_noteworthy;
		}
		else
		{
			players[i] setorigin( side2[i].origin);
			players[i] setplayerangles( side2[i].angles);
			players[i].respawn_point = side2[i];
			players[i].spawn_side = side2[i].script_noteworthy;
		}
	}
}

NEXT:

In your mapname.gsc go to "zones you want activated at map start" and add the 2 zones that the players can start in

then the spawn structs in radiant add to 2 of them "script_noteworthy - north_spawn" then add on the last 2 spawn structs "script_noteworthy - south_spawn"

...

You never said anything about zones. My answer is the best answer.

I already have my zones activate from the start, your answer gave me a bad syntax till I edited the vurrukt spawning

Because you didn't do it right. I said to paste the contents(i.e. the code INSIDE the function) into your Coop_player_spawn_placement();

I did, but this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players[i] thread player_zombie_awareness();
		players[i] thread player_killstreak_timer();

gave an error too, so I removed that myself, and I made my answer best answer because I did a made it a mini tutorial in case anyone else who wanted to have split spawning came here
