Respawn Delay v1

[JaxOf7]

delays your respawn

cvars
SV_RESPAWNDSTART: actually starts the respawn delay. just leave true.
SV_RESPAWNTIME: respawn delay in seconds. default is 5.

standard file that's probably been made before and would probably work in all zandronum mods.

file that includes a recode to fix minor 8bdm specific bugs (weapon energy color & exit unit visual).

I support this useful thing.

Hot damn that's useful. I suppose you could also turn the respawn timer to zero to ignore its effects completely? If so, I'd be the crazy man to suggest implementing this into core somehow, most notably in Capture the Flag and 1-Flag CTF.

Regardless, this is an amazing mod and I need to find a way to squeeze the everloving crap out of it.

It can be good... in duel too? :q
*respawn directly beside the opponent who fraged you* drawing game. <__<

I hope they don't spam this in servers. Respawn delays in Zandronum seem wrong to me.

Updated for v4.
Use v1 if you want Reggae to laugh at you upon respawning.

[Dr. Crasger]

Looks pretty damn useful.

revisting another old thing.
zandro has SetDeadSpectator so this is a lot less messy now.

It has come to my attention that some game modes seriously need to take the player out of action for a bit after dying.
Sadly, Zandronum doesn't have native support for that, so here's something I cobbled together.

CVars:
SV_RespawnTime : The time in seconds after dying a person has to wait before fully respawning. Default is 5.
SV_RespawnTimeSet : Tells whether this is first time using this mod and sets the default settings if so. Does not actually do anything.

Respawning person controls:
Fire/Altfire:Cycle through views of teammates.

I also put quite a bit of effort into making this modular, so feel free to include it in your custom team maps, or design new ways of determining how long a respawning person should wait.

Ok so an issue was found.
Essentially, SetDeadSpectator leaves behind "player clones" that mess with GiveActorInventory.
Thing_Remove won't actually get rid of them, but it seems to fix the GiveActorInventory, so I implemented that as a new variable.

j2 -> j3
core v6 fixed the issue with corpses and giveactorinventory, so SV_RESPAWNCORPSEREMOVE is no longer needed.
setcvar even when it doesn't change actually causes ungodly network traffic. fixed with a simple check.

j3-8bdmv6a
script 255 still doesn't work right with respawn delay, and exit unit was recently added to it... joy...
anyway made a working script for those in this

SV_RESPAWNCORPSEREMOVE - fixes a zandronum bug where "player clones" left behind by respawning players could be affected by GiveActorInventory. just leave true, hopefully won't need someday.
