Title: Starting a server with set spawnpoints for contraptions on a specific map
Post by: EggNoggin on July 15, 2009, 02:31:40 PM

So...................

How would I go about starting up my server with specific contraptions i've made that have a specific spawnpoint on a specific map?

I would like to know because i've made an "admin building" complete with elevator and admin turret at the admin office (you have to have the passcode to get to the admin office, of course.   ::) ) and I would like it to be already on the map in the place I want it RIGHT when I restart the map and/or server.

Help Pl0ks   ;D

I've really never seen in all my Gmod years any addon that could do that.

That being said, I think you've just come up with a basis for one of the greatest suggestions for update to Advanced Duplicator in a long time.
Seems the basis to have a server side spawn of an advanced duplicator save file at startup of a specific map using specified co-ordinates shouldn't be too far out of reach for Advanced Dup.
It already has the co-ordinates and height stored in the save file... having a server side load of that file hopefully wouldn't be overly difficult to do.
Is SpaceTec still maintaining Advanced Duplicator? He'd be the one to ask.

Wow. Cool.

EggNoggin, not sure if you ever got a response from Spacetech going "What?? I didn't make Advanced dupe"
I got my mods mixed up. Spacetech was best known for SPP.
Tad2020 made advanced duplicator.
Sorry.

Yeah, I pm'd tad too. He said he was too lazy to work it into version one, but it's planned for the next one.
