| Summary | 0005179: It's not possible for a game to choose/offer a players start position | ||||
| Description | A game can deny a players start point using AllowStartPoint, but it can't choose a new one for the player. Also (a bug), it used to be the case that AllowStartPosition was called when the engine placed a players 'default' start position at x,z=0,0, and it seems not be called for this anymore. | ||||
| Additional Information | My use case is: automatically assign a start point to each newly joined player (but don't forcibly ready them & allow the player to change their start point if wanted). Afaics its not possible to re-implement in lua, because the engines '3,2,1' coundown can't be avoided (and, moreover, engine<->spads/host<->game interaction though gadget:GameSetup is needed at this stage anyway). | ||||

AllowStartPosition -> AllowStartPoint |

overlaps with 0003062. ("the engines '3,2,1' countdown can't be avoided" is untrue, set GameStartDelay=0 in script.txt) |
