I've tried a few things and I figured that the code below would work, but it isn't. Could someone help me out here?

Code: Show/Hide if p.freq == 0:    game.WarpTo(p.arena, 376, 512) elif p.freq == 1:    game.WarpTo(p.arena, 640, 512)

can you get more in depth. is it if they go in an area, they get warped. is it spawn location, is it a command. etc.

i figured it out.. and if its not p.arena i get an error. Now i have another question. I have placeball in my code.. and when i use one command to start the game i warp the players and then the ball is placed. the error i get is "TypeError: arg is not a 'balldata' "

[tcsoccerman]

one of the arguements is not part of balldata, which i'm guessing means there is not the right number of arguements, or not the right variable/arguement

[xsp0rtsfanx]

Code: Show/Hide balls.PlaceBall(arena, 512, 512)

thats the code. I had it at p.arena and removed arena. neither worked.

Does this help?

Code: Show/Hide def c_centerball(cmd, params, p, targ):     bd = balldata()     bd.state = BALL_ONMAP     bd.x = bd.y = 8200     bd.xspeed = bd.yspeed = 0     bd.carrier = None     bd.time = current_ticks()     ball.PlaceBall(p.arena, 0, bd)     chat.SendMessage(p, "Ball centered.")

[xsp0rtsfanx]

so use that for where i wanna put it? like if i have it put to 3 different spots i just run back to that same definition to get there? also i'm getting door errors on one command.. it says cfg is not a valid thing. its cfg.SetInt(stuff in here) and cfg = get_interface(I_CONFIG) up top right..?

i dont wanna make it a command.. i want to place the ball after a certain team scores a point to a certain location and another when the other scores

If you're still trying to warp entire frequencies, let me show you how I do it in C:

Code: Show/Hide     pd->Lock(); // Lock, necessary when cycling through players     FOR_EACH_PLAYER_P(tempPlayer, zData, playerKey) // Cycles through each player, I use this to set playerdata and warp.     {         zData->died = FALSE;         if (tempPlayer->p_freq == 0) // If human...         {             t.u.p = tempPlayer;             game->WarpTo (&t, eData->humanSpawnX, eData->humanSpawnY); // Warp to human spawn.         }         else if (tempPlayer->p_freq == 1) // Repeat for Zombies.         {             t.u.p = tempPlayer;             game->WarpTo (&t, eData->zombieSpawnX, eData->zombieSpawnY);         }     }     pd->Unlock(); // End cycle and lock

You don't have to use FOR_EACH_PLAYER_P, though, since you're not using playerdata, FOR_EACH_PLAYER will be fine. Basically, the idea is to cycle through all the players, check their freq, and warp them accordingly. I thought there would be a better way to do it, but this is the best I could come up with(well, D1 actually sent me this code).

But also, the first parameter in WarpTo is a Target, which is why you can use an arena, I guess, but that's going to warp the whole arena. The critical part of the code I showed you was "t.u.p = tempPlayer". You just use whatever player you pass into FOR_EACH_PLAYER, and put it into t.u.p. I never actually even figured out what t.u.p was, but it works for me. This shouldn't be too hard to convert to python. Hope this helps.

Python is a little different when it comes to using Target. To warp an entire freq you can do:

Code: Show/Hide game.WarpTo((arena, freq), x, y)

It's only worth using a loop to warp freqs if you're also doing other things inside the loop like setting player data.

If you didn't manage to adapt BD's code you can paste this function into your code to easily move a ball.

Code: Show/Hide # xy are in tiles # bid is ball id (0-7, depends how many balls are in the arena) def move_ball(arena, bid, x, y):     bd = balldata()     bd.state = BALL_ONMAP     bd.x = x * 16     bd.y = y * 16     bd.xspeed = bd.yspeed= 0     bd.carrier = None     bd.freq = -1     bd.time = current_ticks()     balls.PlaceBall(arena, bid, bd)

Make sure you are using enough parameters in your SetInt call.

All you have to do is modify the x and y location of the ball. Use an if statement to see where it needs to go.
