Player Spawning Mid Game

Hey All, I thought I had the correct setting but am not sure. What Island settings need to be in place to have new players joining in to simply spawn mid game and jump into the action? Thanks in advance and happy creating!

hmmmm? :thinking: I think what I have wrong is each unique player spawner is set to team 1 - I will try to make them all unique team numbers and see if that does the trick. Thanks and happy creating all!

I dunno. Player spawn team is set to “ANY”

The Island Setting - Join in Progress - Spawn

The joiner will go to a SpawnPad with Island Start enabled, and if you have a pregame area where the island start spawnpads are, will need a teleporter to get them to the action.

How many teams are you using ? have you set them to Dynamic, Team Size or Split Evenly.

You rock Hardcawcanary!!! the flow in my gameflow (or lack of) is most likely this missing teleporter between pregame and action start. Do I need a teleporter for each player like the spawn pads or just 1 teleporter will do?

I got a max of 100 players at the moment with 30 guards running around. The guards are too OP at the moment. Team size is (1) one for an all out free for all.

I will try to update the island later today and see what happens. Mucho thanks!

Cool,
I don’t know how many people a teleporter can handle at once, its a few, one or two should be good for joining players.

With the teleporter in the pregame, I assume turning off any lobby timer would be ideal as well? to give players time to get situated and teleport in?

You can have the teleporter only enabled during game phase so it doesn’t turn on until after the game starts, so it doesn’t interfere with pregame,
tie the teleporter to the lobby spawnpads on player spawned and once the teleporters turn on at game start the spawnpads will teleport player into game,

I’m not sure if teleporters have a delay, but I’m not sure how to give them a bit of time in lobby before jumping into it.

A teleporter inside the lobby with a barrier that disables on game start is another option.

I was unable to figure out the portal in pregame lobby, so I tanked the whole pregame lobby and only have in game spawners. It worked as I tested it out and another player was able to dive in mid game. Yaaaaaaaay! Thanks for all the feedback hardcawcanary!
