Latest revision as of 19:24, 24 September 2010

This function creates a new global checkpoint (corona) visible for everyone and returns a pointer to it. If the creation was unsuccessful, the function will return null.

[edit] Syntax

CreateCheckpoint can take different lists of parameters:

CreateCheckpoint( Vector pos, float radius, [ Colour col ] )

CreateCheckpoint( Vector pos, float radius, [ int red, int green, int blue ] )

[edit] Arguments

• pos - The position where you want the checkpoint to be created
• radius - The radius of the checkpoint to be created
• col - The colour of the checkpoint as a Colour object. If no colour is used the checkpoint will default to red
• red, green, blue - The colour of the checkpoint as separate RGB values

[edit] Example

This command will create a checkpoint at the player's location.

 
function onPlayerCommand( player, cmd, text )
{
     if ( cmd == "cp" )
     {
          local pos = player.Pos;
          CreateCheckpoint( pos, 5.0 );
     }
     
     return 1;
}
 

[edit] Notes

The call onPlayerCommand was used in in this example. More info about this in the corresponding page.
