I have a problem;
How to detect all of the spawn points that exists in the map?
I see there is a spawn point for T out of the map and i couldnt find it because when somebody spawns there the server is crashing.

entitylist entitylistEDIT: Didn't notice
Cebra reply. As these folks above explained (though not completely), you'd just iterate all the Info_T entities of the map with this Lua function.

for _, e in pairs( entitylist(0) ) do
print('Info_T entity coordinations @ ' .. e.x .. ' as X path and ' .. e.y .. ' as Y path.')
end
forloop will iterate all over the entities with value ID as 0 (hence Info_T) and will print onto the console their coordination. This as to not iterate to the whole entities since we're focusing on the T spawn paths.

GeoB99: just found it; Info_T entity coordinations @ 168624128 as X path and 1634951539 as Y path.
I'm like WTF.
Seems like a bug,am i wrong? same thing happened me before and couldn't find solution. ( yes, I just recreated whole map. )
Try use
triggerposition ? not sure it will fix the problem. _oops: it's really awkward,im still in shock. I also figured it out; when a t spawns there,it crashes the server. I dont know what causes to this problem but it's really annoying.Btw thanks for helping,@
_oops i will try that. _oops has writtenAs I remember, that's kind of map glitch when the map file is corrupted.

_oops: Admin/mod comment
§2.1 - No needless and/or doubled posts (spam) BcY: Huh? The hell did these numbers come from? Fairly sure whether there's something wrong in the Editor or the map file format is corrupted like _oops cited which is quite odd. Normally a corrupted file shouldn't open as it would rather trigger an error in the first place. 
Ye! same thing happened for me. I just put script that makes impossible to join terrorist force to prevent crashing.
EDIT: ye,
triggerposition was the solution.1

The real solution to this issue should be to get rid of the "broken" entities instead of writing scripts to ignore them. If your map does not contain too many entities you can use the shortcut shift+ctrl+del to remove ALL entities. You will obviously have to place all healthy entities again afterwards but you'll at least keep the map tiles.
I'll add a todo to the backlog to add a editor window showing a list of all entities so you can easily jump to specific ones or remove them.
DC has writtenI would love to know why and how the map files break in some cases. Weird and bad stuff. It shouldn't happen...

Unfortunately there are too many entities in my map.Is there an entity limit,i just wonder? Maybe it causes the problem? Btw thanks for helping.

@
Mami Tomoe: it's not that easy man,as i know.Or maybe i know it wrong,can you tell me detailed? Only .map is needed (maybe tiles too)
The map file can in fact be altered with a HEX editor. It would be easier to fix the position though. You can just do a search for a signed 32 bit integer to find the x/y position and change it.
Removing the whole entity is a bit more complicated because you can't easily see which bytes belong to the entity and you would also have to decrease the total entity count (also saved as a signed 32 bit integer) by 1.
trigger_if without breaking lines.Not only lua script. Including copy paste sentences into any kind of entities. I'm not sure this way still corrupt map file.

local mapSizeX, mapSizeY = map("xsize"), map("ysize")
local brokenCount = 0
print("OutOfBoundaries Entity check started!\n")
print("Map: ".. map("name"))
print("Map size in tiles: ".. mapSizeX .." | ".. mapSizeY)
local list = entitylist()
for k, ent in pairs( list ) do
if ent.x > mapSizeX or ent.x < 0 or ent.y > mapSizeY or ent.y < 0 then
brokenCount = brokenCount + 1
print("Entity with ID ".. entity(ent.x, ent.y, "type") ..", ".. entity(ent.x, ent.y, "typename") .." called '".. entity(ent.x, ent.y, "name") .."' @ ".. ent.x .."|".. ent.y)
end
end
print("OutOfBoundaries Entity check finished!\n")
msg("Check of broken entities finished, ".. brokenCount .." invalid entities found")
This code will show you all entities that are outside the playable map boundaries (aka beyond map size). If
info_t spawn entities are broken then there must be more than just that. Just drop that piece of code into /autorun/ and launch the map, the results will be shown in console.@
BcY: would be nice of you to upload the broken map so we can take a look at and study it. If it's a bug like _oops suggested then it may be feasible to fix by deleting several invalid lines. console output this sentence.

UPDATE MAP: Found unknown entity type: 102 @ 195273387 , 544108393
I wondered will the script can tell what kind of entity is it

msg("Entity : "..entity(e.x,e.y,"typename").." @ "..e.x.."|"..e.y)
Strange thing was an entity(
Trigger_Start) that triggered Trigger_If that causing glitch was erased itself when I opened the map file again.
