How to spawn player 2 before end of round 1 (zombies)

Skipping cutscene at the same time doesn't work.
Using map_restart or fast_restart just leaves the map on a black screen.
Same with dying out to restart.

Is there documentation anywhere on how to setup a GSC on Plutonium?
Or for a similar workaround?

Lupercal GSC's can be loaded onto dedicated servers (which can be hosted on your computer).
T6 Dedicated Server Guide
Loading GSC on a Dedicated Server Guide

To have all players spawn on round 1, you can use this simple GSC in your script.

Add this into your script anywhere.

spawn_if_round_one() //force spawn player
{
	wait 5; //waits for blackscreen to load
	if ( self.sessionstate == "spectator" && level.round_number == 1 )
	{
		self [[ level.spawnplayer ]]();
		if ( level.script != "zm_tomb" || level.script != "zm_prison" || !is_classic() )
			thread maps\mp\zombies\_zm::refresh_player_navcard_hud();
	}
}

Then add this

player thread spawn_if_round_one();

under your OnPlayerConnect function, like so.

onPlayerConnect()
{
	level endon( "end_game" );
        self endon( "disconnect" );
	for (;;)
	{
		level waittill( "connected", player );
		player thread spawn_if_round_one();
	}
}

Hope this helps

Cahz theres is some problem with !is_classic();

Cahz

szoroscsirke21 the is_classic() function is held in _zm_utility.gsc which means you're missing the include for it.

Add this include to the top of your _clientids.gsc file.
#include maps/mp/zombies/_zm_utility;

Thank You! Cahz
It fixed the error message, but the scipts still not works. I think im stupid. My friend only revive after round 1 finished. I cant make it work.

Cahz

szoroscsirke21 You need to make sure you're doing the steps correctly. Yes, you copied the script, but you must not have the player thread spawn_if_round_one(); in your _clientids.gsc file.

MrMrE

on the host console just use command:
fast_restart
this set map to all initial positions and if all players are present the command starts over the map with all present and alive round 1

it is worth while setting up a dedicated server on one of the lan machines you and friend are playing on, which ever is most powerful, xpartygo on my pc runs a lil laggy but dedicated host and client simultaneously actually has a smother outcome. AND then you can use fast_restart on dedicated

Lupercal

@MrE-Ronski85
I am already using a dedicated server on my machine....
And the fast_restart or map_restart commands used to crash server.
Now those commands don't even work.

And when the game ends, the lobby crashes with error:
"CG_Spawn: no free fake entities"

Same error will then occur on every lobby join until I restart the server.

Cahz I try to add this code to my script, but it doesn't work. I've already remade my GSC code (It even worked with codes that didn't work) but this specific script doesn't work.

And to make matters worse, I still don't know much about programming
