    OnCharacterDeath(
		function(player)	
		if GetCharacterTeam(player) == 2 and IsCharacterHuman(player) then
		TeamChange(player, 1)
		end
		)

I'm not so great at LUA, but I think yall get what this is attempting.

person dies-> check to see if they are human -> if yes then check team -> if team 2 switch their team.

seems a simple enough task. As I said im not very good with LUA, so there may be things horribly wrong with my script. If anyone could will they please fix it for me. thanks

well fixed code somewhat, everything works except the function to change the team

Code: Select all

    playerDead = OnCharacterDeath(
		function(player)	
			if GetCharacterTeam(player) == 2 and IsCharacterHuman(player) then
			SetObjectTeam(player, 1)
			end
		end
	)

What in the end are you trying to do?

Just about all the team switching code deals with changing the unit's team. The person's player/character is still on the same team, just his/her unit is different. When the unit dies, it no longer exists, thus you can't chance its team after its death.

I want to check when a player is killed if they are on team 1, if that is yes then change them to team 2.

would this work?

Code: Select all

			if GetCharacterTeam(player) ==  1 then
			SetProperty(player, "Team", 2)

EDIT:

what about /admin /swap playerid, that changes their team when you use that online.

EDIT2
ok, so scratch the above, dont think it is possible. now for another idea:

Code: Select all

onKillReplinishHealth = OnCharacterDeath(
	function(player, killer)
	if IsCharacterHuman(player) = true and IsCharacterHuman(killer) then
	SetProperty(killer, "AddHealth", 1000) --higher than maxhealth in order to fully replinish
	end
end
)

would this work to replinish the health of the killer if both the killer and player were human?

You might have to do SetProperty on GetCharacterUnit(killer), but almost. Change your "=" to "==".

so...

Code: Select all

onKillReplinishHealth = OnCharacterDeath(
   function(player, killer)
   if IsCharacterHuman(player) == true and IsCharacterHuman(killer) then --corrected = to ==
   SetProperty(GetCharacterUnit(killer), "AddHealth", 1000) --higher than maxhealth -- changed killer to GetCharacterUnit(killer)
   end
end
)
