This function spawns the player at an arbitary point on the map.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: setCameraTarget must be used to focus on the player. Also, all players have their camera initially faded out after connect. To ensure that the camera is faded in, please do a fadeCamera after.

Syntax

bool spawnPlayer ( player thePlayer, float x, float y, float z, [ int rotation = 0, int skinID = 0, int interior = 0, int dimension = 0, team theTeam = getPlayerTeam(thePlayer) ] )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: player:spawn(...)


Required Arguments

  • thePlayer: The player you want to spawn.
  • x: The x co-ordinate to spawn the player at.
  • y: The y co-ordinate to spawn the player at.
  • z: The z co-ordinate to spawn the player at.

Optional Arguments

  • rotation: rotation of the player on spawn.
  • skinID: player's skin on spawn. Character Skins
  • interior: interior the player will spawn into. Interior IDs
  • dimension: The ID of the dimension that the player should be in.
  • theTeam: the team the player will join.

Returns

Returns true if the player was spawned successfully, false otherwise.

Example

This example spawns all the players in the middle of the game map. 

-- Get a table of all the players
local players = getElementsByType ( "player" )
-- Go through every player
for _, player in ipairs(players) do
	-- Spawn them at the desired coordinates
	spawnPlayer ( player, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0, 90.0, 0 )
	fadeCamera ( player, true)
	setCameraTarget ( player, player )
end

This example spawns a player when he logs in. 

spawnTeam = createTeam ("Teamname", 255, 0, 0) -- Create team to spawn.
function spawnOnLogin (prevA, curA )
	outputChatBox ("Welcome to ...", source, 255, 0, 0, false)
	spawnPlayer (source, 0, 0, 5, 0, math.random (0,288), 0, 0, spawnTeam) -- spawns player with random skin
	fadeCamera (source, true)
	setCameraTarget (source, source)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root, spawnOnLogin)
