Spawn Protection

[ghost]

Add Spawn protection in the player, others. Like, do don't generate viruses, food, player, bot... in the player and others. For player be not generated dead, per player and spiked per virus generated in player. (Bad English!)

do you mean you do not want other entities like viruses, other players, bots spawning inside of other players or bots?

[BaumanDev]

Yes I assume that is what is his query about, he wants everything to spawn away from each other and not inside of each other. I kind of experience this too when my bots are big, I would spawn inside them. Also viruses spawn a little too close to you, I kind of need this too.

For viruses I assume you edit this in Gameserver.js. But how?

GameServer.prototype.virusCheck = function() {
    // Checks if there are enough viruses on the map
    if (this.nodesVirus.length < this.config.virusMinAmount) {
        // Spawns a virus
        var pos = this.getRandomPosition();
        var virusSquareSize = (this.config.virusStartMass * 100) >> 0;

        // Check for players
        for (var i = 0; i < this.nodesPlayer.length; i++) {
            var check = this.nodesPlayer[i];

            if (check.mass < this.config.virusStartMass) {
                continue;
            }

            var squareR = check.getSquareSize(); // squared Radius of checking player cell

            var dx = check.position.x - pos.x;
            var dy = check.position.y - pos.y;

            if (dx * dx + dy * dy + virusSquareSize <= squareR)
                return; // Collided
        }

        // Spawn if no cells are colliding
        var v = new Entity.Virus(this.getNextNodeId(), null, pos, this.config.virusStartMass);
        this.addNode(v);
    }
};

It's better to not go return;, as you still need to spawn a virus. Better call the function (use recursion) until it spawns a virus.
