addhook("die", "resetkill")

function resetkill()
timer(500,"spawnn")
end

function spawnn(id)
??
end

I want to spawn player by force after he dies in deathmatch. How to spawn him on spawn points as if it was a round restart?

Something like this I guess:

function spawnn(id)
	local tx, ty = randomentity(player(id,"team")-1)
	parse("spawnplayer "..id.." "..(tx*32+16).." "..(ty*32+16))
end

cs2d lua cmd timer parameter is always a string. If you're already passing the player ID in correctly make sure to cast it:
1
local tx, ty = randomentity(player(tonumber(id),"team")-1)
The type doesn't matter for parse because you're passing a big string there anyway and CS2D does the conversion for you.

function spawnn(id)
     local tx, ty = randomentity(player(tonumber(id),"team")-1)
     parse('spawnplayer '..id..' '..(tx*32+16)..' '..(ty*32+16))
end

result:
LUA ERROR: maps/dm_quake.lua:237: bad argument #1 to 'player' (number expected, got nil)

237 is the local tx, ty line!

Then you're not passing in the player ID. It's also missing in the snippet you provided in the beginning.
timer(500,"spawnn")

That part requires 1 more parameter. See cs2d lua cmd timer
The 3rd parameter needs to be the ID of the player you want to respawn.

@user DC:
Passing the id did the trick!
Also it spawns player in one of the starting positions.

Thank you!

Yes, what user Cure Pikachu's line does is getting the ID of a random Info_T or Info_CT depending on the team. Since Info_T is entity 0 and Info_CT entity 1, it works by just subtracting 1 from the team value (1 is T and 2 is CT).

Of course you can alter that part and spawn the player wherever you like.

Nice explanation, it will be useful in the future. Started learning lua today and it's quite fun
