game_entities

Here's a link to what I'm referring to: http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?doc=1047683808-21957700

I tried following the examples and I had wierd problems. When I set the teams to scientists vs grunts I always end up with Barneys and gordons. Also when I try to give starting equipment and then check for errors it causes an error. Both of these problems occurred even after I downloaded the example rmf. Has anybody had success setting up these entities?

Well 10 bucks says the guy was winging it from the name of the entity, and example rmf?????? where was that??? Are you using steam? because I remember that tut was written before steam of even thought of. But try running the map in OP4, that has more code for team play.

Have you got a recent half-life FGD?

Also with the teams, I suppose that wouldn't work if you had the map set for 'hgrunt;scientist', but the multiplayer options had 'allowed teams' set to 'barney;gordon'.

I'm using them for my forthcoming map, and they seem pretty easy to use?

If you post the entity setup (with entity names as well) you are using, i'll take a look - as well as what youre trying to do?

Dont try running the map in op4, the teamplay is a whole different kettle of fish as far as im aware, and mostly to do with CTF (it was specifically coded by gearbox)..

We need more information before we can help :smile:

FGD version
Errors, description of errors
Entity setups, including worldspawn and all your game_ entity information.

Might it be a server setting too? I remember the days of admin yore, I think we used to have to specify which teams were allowed, those 2 are default and others have to be added.

do you have the right teamnames?

The models you have available by default are: gina, gordon, helmet, hgrunt, and scientist. Later Half-Life patches also add barney, robo, and zombie player models.

• i expect you have to follow those names to the exact letter :smile:

also have you set your test server to be operating as teamplay? "you either need to set both the "deathmatch" and "mp_teamplay" console variables to 1"

or if you create a game using the menus, go into the Advanced options and put an x next to Teamplay

Ok I think I have it now. I didn't realize you had to set which teams are allowed on the server (I don't see why they added this). The only problems I'm having now is that the scientists are supposed to start with crowbars and full hev's and instead they are starting with gluon guns for some crazy reason. The other problem I'm having, which may be related, is that when I check for problems after adding keys in smartedit in the game_playerequip entity it is giving an error: "entity has unused keyvalues".

The 'unused keyvalues' thing means you haven't set the angle or some other setting that isn't relevant to this entity, ignore it.

You should always ignore this error anyway unless you know what you're doing.

man these gluons are driving me nuts! Here's my setup:

worldspawn(map team list): scientist;hgrunt

game_team_master(master): scientist (team index): 0

game_team_master(master): hgrunt (team index): 1

game_player_equip(team master): scientist (weapon_9mmAR): 1

game_player_equip(team master): hgrunt (weapon_9mmhandgun): 1 (weapon_grenade): 1

when I start at the hgrunt start I am gordon and I get a 9mm handgun and AR (but no grenades). The other poeple are the right models but they have gluons. I'm really puzzled by this.

On a side note does anybody know how to enable zoom for the crossbow in dm?
