Hi. Is there a callback that detects when a ship respawns? Trying to make a python module so that it prizes people when they spawn. I'm sort of new to ASSS and I don't really have a reference for callbacks.

If there is not a callback, could someone help me on a piece of python code that will do this? I tried looking at the Hyperspace Core, but I cannot understand any of it

Thanks.

tag them when they die, and wait for the next move packet

atleast that's how I do it on Merv, I assume the packets received is similar

Yeah, I do a similar thing in HSCore. I mark the time when they die, then wait for a position packet after the respawn time. That way you don't get false positives for a delayed packet right as they die.

Kay, I am kind of new to ASSS, so how would I do that in python?

Er, anyone?

Not many use python these days. Smong was the expert, but I haven't seen him around in many moons.

Darn.

Ah, might as well try C++
I know a little bit, but I can't really read it

Anyway, could someone help me with something simple?
