I need a ball plugin that will make the ball spawn in one particular area that i choose. please help me

[Cerium]

Cant you do that with arena settings? I remember reading about some pseudo-undocumented arena settings that let you specify where the ball spawns or something.

In any event, have you attempted to make the bot yourself first? Its really not that hard, just need to have the bot jump in a ship, pickup the ball move to where you want it to spawn and spec. Hell you could have a spawn radius with 1 or 2 extra lines of code and a 5th grade understanding of geometry.

Also, your name would be much cooler if it were simply 'blacula'.

You can only specify the ball's spawn separately on asss.

I was trying to work with Black on doing this, but another way of doing this is far complicated and isn't effective as ASSS is.

I was using the ballmover plugin for MERV and eliminating squares from the map for where the ball will not go. Then the bot can just simply pick up the ball and place it at the desired coord. A little bit of work, but that seems like the only alternative.

Its not hard to make the ball spawn at a different location using a bot.
All the bot coder needs to do is to have a plugin detect if a goal has been scored (check for the arena message), then wait until the ball appears then have the bot move the ball to the desired location.
However, you need a bot in order for all this to work.

Oh cerium already said this. Oh well...

Code: Show/Hide void botInfo::MoveBall(int ident, int x, int y) {    tell(makeFollowing(false));//makes the bot stop following people    tell(makeFlying(true));//makes the bot stop sending it's own position     tell(makeSendPosition(false));    tell(makeShip(SHIP_Warbird));//sc to ship 1    tell(makeGrabBall(ident));//ball's ident    me->move(x*16,y*16);//tells the bot the coords you want    tell(makeSendPosition(true));//makes the bot actually go there           tell(makeShip(SHIP_Spectator));//ball is dropped }

Code: Show/Hide // #include "time.h" // to get an area for ball to be placed in. this range would be in 450-550 x 500-600    srand(time(NULL));    rand();         int coordx = (int) (100 * ((float)rand()/RAND_MAX)) + 450;         int coordy = (int) (100 * ((float)rand()/RAND_MAX)) + 500;
