Help Selecting Player Start point from Gui

#1 I think you are taking the wrong approach to the problem.
Although, perhaps, there is a way to instruct .mis file to accept global variables as parameters, this is not how they where designed, they should contains only static data.
Then, torque script isn't PHP, it doesn't evaluate what is written inside quotes, you have to use the eval command.
What you can do is to spawn the player, using the standard code, and then change its position using your variable, something like:

%player.position = $posx SPC $posy SPC getterrainheight($posx,$posy);

%player should be a newly created player.
I cannot look at the code now, so I can't tell you where is the best place to insert that command.
Also, remember that your gui, and the variables you are using, are client side, so in reality, you cannot use the global variable $posx $posy, because they only exists client side, you have to send their value server side, for example using the connection parameters

#2 Add some "z" to your getTerrainHeight() result. I'm guessing that your spawn point is being placed at the exact height of the terrain at that position -- half above and half below the terrain.

#3 thanks guys for the help but i cannot find in wich file the player is created and placed using the spawn sphere marker so i can change that function, i saw that in core/scripts/server/spawn.cs is a function called on

#4 sorry about the last post it was an internet failure :p

thanks guys for the help, but i cannot find in wich file the player is created and placed using the spawn sphere marker, so i can change that function, i saw that in core/scripts/server/spawn.cs is a function called:

function GameConnection::spawnPlayer(%this, %spawnPoint)

so i dont know if is in here, and the ting that davide said about that my variables are in the client side and this file is in the server side, so i don´t know if i can use them in the SpawnPlayer function.

so maybe you can tell me if the player is placed in this function or in wich one, and if i can use the variables that i take from the gui in this function????

Thanks

#5 hello everybody it seems that the player is placed using the function

gameconnection::spawnPlayer(%this %spawnPoint)

but i can´t find where this function is called so i can control also wich spawnpoint is used to place the player. i alredy search in visual Studio in all the project and i can´t find it if anyone can tell me this i´ll apreciate it.

Thanks

#6 ok i got it !!!!!!!! :) i named my spawn sphere marker as hello and from the loaddefault mission function in game/scripts/client/init.cs put the variables from the gui in the position field of the sphere marker

hello.position = $posx SPC $posy SPC $altitude;

thanks for everything :)
