I understand now, but there are a lot of things I am still confused about as the tutorials show only C and C++ which I don't even know anything about. Such as DEFAULT_PLAYER_RESPAWN and SetRespawn. Where do I place these in my Pawn script?

Where is the "tutorial" that only shows C/C++? It's just documentation of functions. You place calls inside callbacks or functions you wrote yourself. Sorry, but I really see no difficult thing about it. It's no different than i.e. SA-MP except for a different set of functions and callbacks.

DEFAULT_PLAYER_RESPAWN is a constant. SetRespawn is a function. Place and use them whereever you think it's appropriate in your script. There is no such thing as "where to place in a script". This is programming. Check the example standard.pwn script or code snippets like https://www.vaultmp.com/showwiki.php?...ript+Fallout+3 - I can't help more than that.

Yes but when I want to define the DEFAULT_PLAYER_RESPAWN where do I insert this inside my Pawn script... such as main() or what?

It is defined: https://github.com/Foxtacles/vaultmp...de/vaultmp.inc

I don't think you have a basic understanding of the language (and using it), else it should be the most native thing on earth for you to recognize.

Ah, I see. But, what if I wanted to make the respawn time different, would I use SetRespawn?

**foxtacles** · 10-03-2012, 05:27 PM

Yes...just read that documentation...

Mate, I understand how to script SA:MP servers, it's just you have no callback for OnPlayerDeath or anything like that, so I don't fully understand where I put SetRespawn? Does this go inside the main(), and if so the syntax seems to be incorrect.

Code :

#include <vaultmp>
 
main()
{
	printf("The Wasteland Roleplay \n Owners: TommyGun and Monster");
	SetServerName("The Wasteland Roleplay");
	SetServerRule("website", "www.forums.empire-bay.com");
	SetServerRule("game", "Fallout 3");
	SetServerRule("mode", "Roleplay/TDM");
	SetServerMap("The Capital Wasteland");	
}

I inserted 'SetRespawn(120000);' into the bottom of my main() code and it didn't compile...

A Player is an Actor, therefore all actor callbacks are getting called for players as well. OnActorDeath.

Then you are doing something wrong, because it does work.

**TommyGun** · 10-03-2012, 07:19 PM

Oh, I see, I thought 'OnActorDeath' was simply for NPCs.

Another stupid fucking question:
How do you create commands?

This seems to be my hotspot within SA:MP scripting, so I'd like to know.
