Title: Have a spawn "area" instead of a spawn "point"
Post by: Lomir on January 01, 2005, 08:32:08 pm

Many is a time when I\'ve been glitched dead cause of spawning inside of someone (or something like that).  If there was a small area, like around the fountain, instead of that single spot... methinks it may solve a few bugs.

There\'s no crashes caused by spawning inside someone. People have been spawning inside eachother since the dawn of PS. If this was true, it would be fixed already.

Crashes?  No.

Annoying bugs?  Yes.

No... wait... earlier today, when I spawned, I was forced down out of the game and it crashed.

So... uh... yeah.

Well, but it would, indeed, look better with a spawn area... Instead of seeing 12 people standing inside each others, see 12 different people that looks like they are chatting or something! Wouldn\'t that be good?

I agree, it would be cool to just put people randomly somewhere in that plaza.  Any random spot that is within the outer edge and outside the inner circle where the statue is.  The code to generate coordinates like this would not be very difficult.

Good idea? Yes? Need to be discussed for the thousandth time? NO! Please moogie, close this thread. No new discussion should or will be posted here.  Great Idea guy, but USE THE SEARCH BUTTON.

What the hell?  Gimme a ****ing break.  Yeah, there are a few spawn topics going round, but I didn\'t see any relating to what I\'m asking.

Hey chill out kid, we answered your question. It isn\'t our fault if your too stupid to understand us. Glitching inside of someone DOESN\'T cause a bug. It\'s impossible because there is no colision detection between models. They simply don\'t exist to your Client. The spawn point however soon will not exist as the developers and many others feel it is not a very good presentation for planeshift as a game to have a very sloppy instrument like a spawn point put into a public release. Chill out, read everyone\'s post and feel good that anyone responds at all when you make replies like that.  ;)

On a side note:

Can an enemy spawn inside a character?
