If any of you lua wizards would be so kind, there's a map I've been wanting to make for a while, and I believe some lua functionality was recently added that will make it fully functional.

I would need:

On spawn, buff health to 125%.

On kill, refill clips and buff health to 125%

It's going to be a map with multiple arenas, so I would also need some sort of functionality so that when you die in a certain arena you respawn at one of the random spawn points in that specific arena.

Am dumb plz help.

Just fyi, the health tics down like the Medic over heal. You can increase the value of 1.25 if you want to start with more health. As far as the spawn points go I'm going to need more information about your map. You Can send me a PM when you get close to finishing.

Code:

function player_spawn( player )

        local player = CastToPlayer ( player )

        local MaxHealth = (player:GetMaxHealth() * 1.25) - player:GetMaxHealth()

        

        player:AddHealth(MaxHealth, true)

end



function player_killed( player, damageinfo )

        -- suicides have no damageinfo

        if not damageinfo then return end

        

        local player = CastToPlayer( player )

        local attacker_entity = damageinfo:GetAttacker()

        local attacker = CastToPlayer(attacker_entity)



        if not attacker then return end

        

        if IsPlayer( attacker ) then

                if player:GetId() ~= attacker:GetId() then

                        local MaxHealth = (attacker:GetMaxHealth() * 1.25) - attacker:GetMaxHealth()

                        

                        attacker:ReloadClips()

                        attacker:AddHealth(100, false)

                        attacker:AddHealth(MaxHealth, true)

                end

        elseif IsSentrygun(attacker) then

        elseif IsDetpack(attacker) then

        elseif IsDispenser(attacker) then

        else

                return

        end        

end

Thank you very much. Yeah the overheal decay is a desired effect. I'll send you a pm soon.

FDA, Here's the second part to the lua for spawn point control you asked for.
The starting spawn point should be named spawn0. All the others in different arenas should be named spawn1, spawn2, ect. The players can switch between arenas with the '!arena [number]' chat command. For example !arena 3 will put them in arena 3 and continue to spawn them there until they change their arena. If you have more or less than 6 arenas then change the ARENA_NUM variable to how many you have. If you have any issues, send me a PM.

Code:

player_table = {}

ARENA_NUM = 6 -- Increase this number if you want more spawn points.



function player_connected( player )

        player_table[player:GetId()] = { arena = 0 }

end



base_spawn = info_ff_teamspawn:new({ arena_number = 0, validspawn = function(self,player)

        return player:GetTeamId() == Team.kRed or player:GetTeamId() == Team.kBlue and self.arena_number == player_table[player:GetId()].arena

end })



-- For setting a spawnpoint Use spawn1, spawn2, ect.

-- Use Spawn0 as the inital spawn point.

for i = 0, ARENA_NUM do

        _G["spawn"..i] = base_spawn:new({ arena_number = i })

end



function player_onchat( player, chatstring )

        local player = CastToPlayer( player )



        -- string.gsub call removes all control characters (newlines, return carriages, etc)

        -- string.sub call removes the playername: part of the string, leaving just the message

        local message = string.sub( string.gsub( chatstring, "%c", "" ), string.len(player:GetName())+3 )

        

        for i = 1, ARENA_NUM do

                if message == "!arena "..i then

                        ChatToPlayer(player, "Sending you to Arena "..tostring(i))

                        player_table[player:GetId()].arena = i

                        ApplyToPlayer(player, { AT.kRespawnPlayers })

                        return false

                end

        end

        return true

end

You're the best, very much appreciated.
