[Tutorial] Verruckt player spawns/randomized spawns in Scripting

In radiant, place four script_structs, give TWO of the four either:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

"script_noteworthy" "north_spawn"

Code Snippet

Plaintext

"script_noteworthy" "south_spawn"

Next, open up _zombiemode.gsc(If it isn't in your IWD then i'd add it at this point). In it find the function:

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];
	}
}

and replace its contents(code) 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++ )
	{		
		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;
		}	
	}

So it looks like this:

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++ )
	{			
		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;
		}	
	}
}

Done! Launch it in coop with a few friends and give it a try. If you have any issues feel free to post below.
