ok I have this mod that I made;
init()
{
precacheShader("overlay_low_health");

level.healthOverlayCutoff = 0.35;
level.playerHealth_RegularRegenDelay = 5000;

level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
for(;;)
{
level waittill("connecting", player);
player thread onPlayerKilled();
}
}


onPlayerKilled()
{
self endon("disconnect");

for(;;)
{
self waittill("killed_player");
self.blackscreen = newClientHudElem(self);
self.blackscreen.sort = -2;
self.blackscreen.archived = false;
self.blackscreen.alignX = "left";
self.blackscreen.alignY = "top";
self.blackscreen.x = 0;
self.blackscreen.y = 0;
self.blackscreen.alpha = 0;
self.blackscreen setShader("black", 640, 480);
self.blackscreen fadeOverTime(0.1);
self.blackscreen.alpha = 1;
self waittill("spawned_player");
self.blackscreen destroy();
}
}

it basicly makes the screen go black when you die. I have it set so that you must respawn before the blackness will go away. The way I have it setup makes it so that you can not specate. Does anyone know how I would make it so that it also deletes the blackscreen when you spetate?

ok, I dont think you guys are getting me, I'm asking if there is a script line that defines when both player and spectator spawn and if there isnt, then how could I make this mod work so that when the spectator or the player spawns the blackscreen will go away.

change line
self waittill("spawned_player");
to
self waittill("spawned");

still doesnt work.

I noticed that the killcam deletes itself when it goes to spectate. Now how does that work?

I tried it and it works.
"spawned_player" is only set by the thread spawnPlayer(),
"spawned" is set by spawnPlayer(), spawnSpectator(origin, angles) and spawnIntermission().

init()
{
precacheShader("overlay_low_health");

level.healthOverlayCutoff = 0.35;
level.playerHealth_RegularRegenDelay = 5000;

level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
for(;;)
{
level waittill("connecting", player);
player thread onPlayerKilled();
}
}


onPlayerKilled()
{
self endon("disconnect");

for(;;)
{
self waittill("killed_player");
self.blackscreen = newClientHudElem(self);
self.blackscreen.sort = -2;
self.blackscreen.archived = false;
self.blackscreen.alignX = "left";
self.blackscreen.alignY = "top";
self.blackscreen.x = 0;
self.blackscreen.y = 0;
self.blackscreen.alpha = 0;
self.blackscreen setShader("black", 640, 480);
self.blackscreen fadeOverTime(0.1);
self.blackscreen.alpha = 1;
self waittill("spawned");
self.blackscreen destroy();
}
}

ok I know what you did, you just went straight to spectator. The thread isnt activated until you join a side. I want to know how to make it that people on teams can go to spectate. Also I have an idea but need help with it. How would I make it so that it waits until you press a certian key? For instance, "R"

Add the following lines after the line self waittill("killed_player");

if(self.sessionteam == "spectator")
return;

So it will work everytime.

Ok now it never goes black. Here is how I have it so far:
init()
{
precacheShader("overlay_low_health");

level.healthOverlayCutoff = 0.35;
level.playerHealth_RegularRegenDelay = 5000;

level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
for(;;)
{
level waittill("connecting", player);
player thread onPlayerKilled();
}
}


onPlayerKilled()
{
self endon("disconnect");

for(;;)
{
self waittill("killed_player");
if(self.sessionteam == "spectator")
return;
self.blackscreentext = newClientHudElem(self);
self.blackscreentext.sort = -1;
self.blackscreentext.archived = false;
self.blackscreentext.alignX = "center";
self.blackscreentext.alignY = "middle";
self.blackscreentext.fontscale = 2.5;
self.blackscreentext.x = 320;
self.blackscreentext.y = 220;
self.blackscreentext.alpha = 0;
self.blackscreen = newClientHudElem(self);
self.blackscreen.sort = -2;
self.blackscreen.archived = false;
self.blackscreen.alignX = "left";
self.blackscreen.alignY = "top";
self.blackscreen.x = 0;
self.blackscreen.y = 0;
self.blackscreen.alpha = 0;
self.blackscreen setShader("black", 640, 480);
self.blackscreen fadeOverTime(0.1);
self.blackscreen.alpha = 1;
saytext = "player.name was killed";
self waittill("spawned");
self.blackscreen destroy();
self.blackscreentext destroy();


}
}
