Title: Respawn times
Post by: Theblackfury on March 03, 2010, 03:06:07 AM
Hello everybody,

I just want to know if there is a console command to change the respawn times on my server.
Because I like to do the "capture the flag" game type but I find that the players respawn too fast...

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English.

There are 2 server's cvar for that : g_weaponRespawn and g_weaponTeamRespawn

Example : weapons respawn after one second

Code:
...
set g_weaponRespawn "1"
set g_weaponTeamRespawn "1"
...

If set to zero weapons respawning should be immediate.

Thx for your answer but I want to know if there are the same kind of commands to change the respawn times of the players instead of the weapons. ^^

Not that i have heard of. Only know there is a command for maximum dead time (so actually the opposite lol).

The cvar should be "cg_forcerespawn "

Example : cg_forcerespawn 5 to force a player respawning after 5 seconds if he/she has not pressed the +attack button yet.

Theblackfury is saying that the players respawn too soon. Using cg_forcerespawn doesn't stop players clicking +attack straight away.

I think he wants to enforce a greater minimum time that players must wait before being allowed to come back into play. I don't know if there is a command for that.

Ok ... now I understand ... he would like to have a behaviour like in UrT ( with a countdown to respawn ) ... it should not difficult to add such this feature , but as now it's not available in OA.
