Hi there,
I just started working on a Mod for quake3 (yes i am a newbie)
and I was wondering if I could change spawning point for powerups
via the code? I have a feeling spawning points are decided within
the map and that I cannot change them. I am trying to create techs
that would popup around the map at random. Thanks in advance for
your help |

This is easy
to do. And the powerups need not even be predefined in the map
either.
In fact just look at how the give cmd works.
It spawns
the requested item right at your current location. All you need to
do is, after the worldspawn has spawned, spawn a few powerup
spawners that randomly (or not so randomly) spawn powerups with
random origins. Just make sure that the random point is not in a
solid brush. You'll also need to set the spawnflags properly for the
powerups so that they will fall (if that is what you want them to
do) |
