    • Set RegionSpawn[13] = (Center of Spawn 13 <gen>)

So here's what i'm working with. Tried making it so that when a player is assigned a spawn that is already in use, he gets a new, unused spawn assigned to him. Would be easy to do with multiple if/then/elses, but that would be extremely messy and I would need to do that for each race, so 6 times the same litany. Is there any practical way of making it work?

maybe this helps:

Random Spawn Area Selection

alright so when a player spawns you want to remove it from the list of locations available by setting it the the max number of spawns and setting the integer to 1 less so it will not longer be available
