Problem with vehicle respawning? or what - Jay. - 20.07.2011

Hey,

I have made this little gangwar minigame. You enter it by typing /gangwars.
It has cars, objects(set only in world2).

Theres a little problem that I can't seem to figure out.
The problem is (sometimes) when I enter (/gangwars) the cars are like this:

This doesn't always happen sometimes I join and everything they are like this:

Thats what they are supposed to look like.
And as I mentioned above if you enter it's (sometimes) fine but then if you type /exit and re-join it again , /gangwars. They are like the first picture I showed.

This is really annoying and I can't seem to figure out what it's wrong, I only thing I know is, maybe it's related to vehicle respawning time.

I will give you some more info , including codes:

pawn Код:

new gcar1 = AddStaticVehicle(492,2481.76928711,-1655.14123535,13.23549938,89.00000000,86,86); //Greenwood
    new gcar2 = AddStaticVehicle(492,2490.54248047,-1655.33972168,13.23549938,88.99475098,86,86); //Greenwood
    new gcar3 = AddStaticVehicle(492,2504.81640625,-1651.08117676,13.23549938,142.99475098,86,86); //Greenwood
    new gcar4 = AddStaticVehicle(492,2472.94335938,-1655.05871582,13.23549938,88.99475098,86,86); //Greenwood
    new gcar5 = AddStaticVehicle(487,2503.71435547,-1668.32397461,13.62807465,0.00000000,86,44); //Maverick
    new gcar6 = AddStaticVehicle(413,2473.96093750,-1695.36181641,13.66538715,0.00000000,86,1); //Pony
    new gcar7 = AddStaticVehicle(492,2483.19116211,-1686.29833984,13.23549938,88.99475098,86,86); //Greenwood
    
    SetVehicleVirtualWorld(gcar1,2);
    SetVehicleVirtualWorld(gcar2,2);
    SetVehicleVirtualWorld(gcar3,2);
    SetVehicleVirtualWorld(gcar4,2);
    SetVehicleVirtualWorld(gcar5,2);
    SetVehicleVirtualWorld(gcar6,2);
    SetVehicleVirtualWorld(gcar7,2);

Thats the cars code and they are set in world 2 like I said.
And this is the exit.

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/exit", true) == 0)
    {
        if(InWar[playerid] == 1 || InGangWar[playerid] == 1)
        {
            if(InWar[playerid] == 1)
            {
               InWar[playerid] = 0;
               SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"You have left the deathmatch");
               SetPlayerWorldBounds(playerid,20000.0000, -20000.0000, 20000.0000, -20000.0000);
               SpawnPlayer(playerid);
               SetCameraBehindPlayer(playerid);
            }
            else if(InGangWar[playerid] == 1)
            {
               InGangWar[playerid] = 0;
               SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"You have left the minigame");
               SetPlayerVirtualWorld(playerid,0);
               SetPlayerInterior(playerid,0);
               SpawnPlayer(playerid);
               SetCameraBehindPlayer(playerid);
            
            }

        }
        else
        {
            SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "You are not in a minigame or deathmatch.");
        }
        return 1;
    }

Other info:

I have objects at the same place and vehicles, in world 0.

Anyone know the problem? If you want more information just ask me , including code. I don't mind I would just like this to be fixed.

Thanks.

To combat this there are a number of methods, one would be move the player there and change their virtual world a few moments later to ensure the world spawns before the vehicles.

pawn Код:

if(listitem == 0)
             {
             
                gTeam[playerid] = TEAM_GROVE;
                InGangWar[playerid] = 1;
                SetPlayerColor(playerid,TEAM_COLOR_GROVE);
                SetPlayerVirtualWorld(playerid,2);
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_GREEN,"You have selected The Grove!");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"Objective: Kill other gangs");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"finds drugs, rob banks or just cruise with your homies");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"Use /gcommands for all commands.");
                switch(random(4))
                {
                    case 0:
                    {
                       SetPlayerPos(playerid,2496.4500,-1708.5156,1014.7422);
                       SetPlayerInterior(playerid,3);
                    }
                    case 1:
                    {
                       SetPlayerPos(playerid,2492.5818,-1700.5641,1014.7661);
                       SetPlayerInterior(playerid,3);
                    }
                    case 2:
                    {
                       SetPlayerPos(playerid,2492.5183,-1702.5121,1018.3438);
                       SetPlayerInterior(playerid,3);
                       
                    }
                    case 3:
                    {
                       SetPlayerPos(playerid,2497.7595,-1678.0848,13.3507);
                       
                    }


                }
                switch(random(3))
                {
                    case 0: SetPlayerSkin(playerid,105);
                    case 1: SetPlayerSkin(playerid,106);
                    case 2: SetPlayerSkin(playerid,107);
                }

             
             }

Perhaps?
I tried moving

pawn Код:

SetPlayerVirtualWorld(playerid,2);

Under the second to last bracket( a little later).
But the problem is still occurring.

Anymore methods?

Thanks

Well a timer?
Trouble is i'd need alot of them for each of my teams.

Also is there any other solutions ? /:

Change the vehicle "spawn" time ?

I will be honest and say im not sure what you mean. or how I would do this.
I don't want to use lots of timers as I have different teams.
And is there a different way ? You said there is more

Can you tell me them?

Thanks

Below: If you don't mind can you tell me the other ways ? I would like to know.

Re: Problem with vehicle respawning? or what - Jay. - 20.07.2011

Well I tried this:

pawn Код:

if(dialogid == 13)
    {
         if(response)
         {
         
             if(listitem == 0)
             {
             
                gTeam[playerid] = TEAM_GROVE;
                InGangWar[playerid] = 1;
                SetPlayerColor(playerid,TEAM_COLOR_GROVE);
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_GREEN,"You have selected The Grove!");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"Objective: Kill other gangs");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"finds drugs, rob banks or just cruise with your homies");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"Use /gcommands for all commands.");
                switch(random(4))
                {
                    case 0:
                    {
                       SetPlayerPos(playerid,2496.4500,-1708.5156,1014.7422);
                       SetPlayerInterior(playerid,3);
                    }
                    case 1:
                    {
                       SetPlayerPos(playerid,2492.5818,-1700.5641,1014.7661);
                       SetPlayerInterior(playerid,3);
                    }
                    case 2:
                    {
                       SetPlayerPos(playerid,2492.5183,-1702.5121,1018.3438);
                       SetPlayerInterior(playerid,3);
                       
                    }
                    case 3:
                    {
                       SetPlayerPos(playerid,2497.7595,-1678.0848,13.3507);
                       
                    }


                }
                switch(random(3))
                {
                    case 0: SetPlayerSkin(playerid,105);
                    case 1: SetPlayerSkin(playerid,106);
                    case 2: SetPlayerSkin(playerid,107);
                }

             
             }
             if(listitem == 1)
             {
                gTeam[playerid] = TEAM_BALLAS;
                InGangWar[playerid] = 1;
                SetPlayerColor(playerid,TEAM_COLOR_BALLAS);
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_PURPLE,"You have selected The Ballas!");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"Objective: Kill other gangs");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"finds drugs, rob banks or just cruise with your homies");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"Use /gcommands for all commands.");
             
             
             
             }
             if(listitem == 2)
             {
                gTeam[playerid] = TEAM_VAGOS;
                InGangWar[playerid] = 1;
                SetPlayerColor(playerid,TEAM_COLOR_VAGOS);
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"You have selected The Vagos!");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"Objective: Kill other gangs");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"finds drugs, rob banks or just cruise with your homies");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"Use /gcommands for all commands.");



             }
             if(listitem == 3)
             {
                gTeam[playerid] = TEAM_POLICE;
                InGangWar[playerid] = 1;
                SetPlayerColor(playerid,TEAM_COLOR_POLICE);
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_BLUE,"You have selected The Poilce!");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"Objective: Bust /wanted gangs.");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_WHITE,"or just cruise around looking for trouble.");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"Use /gcommands for all commands.");


             }
             SetTimerEx("WorldSetDelay",3000,0,"d",playerid);
         
         
         }
    
    
    
    
    }
    return 1;
}


forward WorldSetDelay(playerid);
public WorldSetDelay(playerid)
{

    SetPlayerVirtualWorld(playerid,2);
    SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"Success");

}

You can see I added the timer. But it's still not working.
so I thought to myself about what else could be a problem.

And yes - I have like 3 spawns that are in a interior(grove street house) and when I come out (when the timer loaded "success" I see the vehicles fall into place, the bad place. Not my positions.

So yeah, I don't know if the interior can be a problem?

EDIT:

I did some tests:

I removed 3 of my spawns and left the 1 that spawns outside.
I tried it again and then (not in interior this time)

I spawned outside and the normal vehicle positions loaded.
Then I removed the timer and tried again , it worked! - so that is/was not needed anymore.

So I think this is the problem , the interior. Grove street house.
I will just create spawns outside if thats the case.

But I would like some answers from you ****** , or some other advanced scripter.
about why this was happening(with the interior ) or even better, if I can bypass this.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped on this thread and especially ****** for huge help.
And yeah , I would like someone to tell me why.

Erm, i didn't quite understand.

I spawned in an interior then went outside and the cars were in world 2.

No, now all my spawns are outside and everything works fine.
Thanks
