entity_edict.cpp question [How to respawn a player]

I just looked at entity_edict.cpp (
hg/src/core/modules/entity/entity_edict.cpp) and there are these lines at the very end:
Syntax: Select all
CLASS_METHOD_TYPEDEF(DispatchSpawn,
&DispatchSpawn,
"Dispatches a message to spawn the entity."
)
Can we use that one to respawn a player? Something like
Syntax: Select all
from events import Event
from players import EasyPlayer
@Event
def player_death(GameEvent):
player = EasyPlayer(GameEvent.GetInt("userid"))
player.DispatchSpawn() # respawns the player

I don't believe so because CCSPlayer has its own Respawn function you're supposed to call. I think DispatchSpawn is meant more for spawning entities into the map that you created via CreatEntityByName.

Ah, thanks. Is this own respawn function available in the current revision?

I tried using DispatchSpawn on player entities that died on a player_death event when I originally tested the code out, and all it did was remove the ragdolls and seemingly move the entity to a valid spawn location, but did not respawn the player fully.

hhhmmm, okay thanks for the answer
I think we should wait until a fully functional method is being developed.

Couldn't it be that this command does something like es_spawnplayer did? So you had to set the Props:
'CCSPlayer.m_iPlayerState' 0
'CBasePlayer.m_lifeState' 512
and then use DispatchSpawn?

Yeah, that's right. es_spawnplayer and es_spawnentity are using DispatchSpawn.
http://master.build.eventscripts.com/eventscripts/eventscripts2/file/6936a4bee74c/mattie_eventscripts.cpp#l3656I'm pretty sure that it would work, if you set these props.

I'd be curious to see someone test this out.

Yup, the following works on the newest unreleased version:
Syntax: Select all
from events import Event
from players import EasyPlayer
@Event
def player_say(GameEvent):
userid = GameEvent.GetInt('userid')
player = EasyPlayer(userid)
player.SetPropInt('CCSPlayer.m_iPlayerState', 0)
player.SetPropInt('CBasePlayer.m_lifeState', 512)
player.DispatchSpawn()

Well then I hope the new release will come pretty soon! Thank you for testing it by the way

someone might want to rename this thread to "how to respawn a player" for easier finding in the future ^^
