I think most of you know C&C Mars and you also know that there is a little problem: The map should be completly low grav but after spawn you you have to buy a char to have low grav working.
The problem behind is that you can't really change the spawnermodel/preset with temp-presets. I can create a new temp-spawner, a changed temp-soldierpreset for it and place it everywhere in the map instead of the original startupspawner but it doesn't work. You always spawn as the normal soldier with normal values for gravity scale, moving speed and so on.
So my idea was to solve this problem with scripts and here is my question: Does anybody konw how can do this with the help of existing scripts? (I'm not able to create my own scripts)
Maybe a scriptzone which fills the whole map and changes everyone to the soldier I want. It's just an idea. Dunno if this is possible.

Create an "Invisible_Object" on your map and attach "JFW_Change_Spawn_Character" to it. This will change the spawn character for the selected team.

Do you mean I create a large invis box in max/gmax and use it as model for a huge crate which everybody gets instantly after spawn?
Or can I attach this script to a resizable scriptzone?

"Invisible_Object" is the preset name. Spawn one of those on the map and attach two of that script to it, one for each team.

What ssaow/ssgm are you using?
if (strstr(CurrMap,"C&C_Mars.mix")) {
//code to send message in-game stating that code is being called
char called[256];
sprintf(called,"This console message is telling you that the code is being called");
//declaring variables
//This variable is making a name for the location if the invisiable object, and therefore declaring it as "Vector3"
Vector3 invis;
//This variable is going to actually be the invis object, and is declaring it's data type as "gameobject *"
GameObject *Game_invis;
//Code to set what the x,y,z of the invis object Vector3 is, this will then mean that
//refering to invis will contain all this information
invis.X= 0.0f;
invis.Y= 0.0f;
invis.Z= 0.0f;
//create an invisible object at the location known now as invis
Game_invis = Commands->Create_Object("Invisible_Object",invis);
//attach the script to the object to change the spawn char

If you temp something (say, the spawning character, not the spawner itself) and give it the exact same name as the parent, doesn't it load the temp instead?
I can't remember if it works that way, but I thought it did.

That doesn't work. already tried.
@Reborn:
I don't use a server. I'm a mapper and know 0 about servers or the renegade server programms but thx for help^^
I want to place custom spawners in my map (in the Leveleditor).
Edit: @ALL who only read this post of the discussion. Read the first post of mine and than reply. I don't want to explain the problem again why I have problems with creating "custom spawners".

Do what white dragon said, except I doubt it would matter what you attach it too. I've never tried that script myself but I assumed you attached it to the spawner rather than anything. But if that's the case then just attach it to like a daves arrow or anything that can't be destroyed. You could even attach it to something then put whatever that is underneath the map so that no one can get to it and destroy it.
