Get s random player from each team in TF2

[patronsaint]

Im trying making a TF2 arena mod for a map map on my private sever where two players will fight in a 1 v 1 battle zone separated from the rest of the map.

Basically what i want to do is, upon a round start, make it randomly pick a player from both BLU and RED, announce them, then teleport them to the designated area, and change their model to a custom one. Also when one gets killed, it will announce the victor and give them a health buff for the next round.

How would I go about doing this? I know I can get it working for one player, but i cant figure out how to do it for two.

Thanks. :)

Smlib has a getrandom function for getting a random player from a specified team

For the random player, it's quite simple, create a large array for each team, put candidate players into the array, and pick a random index depending on how large it is. If you need examples, I bet there's a ton if you search.

Not sure how much help you need with the others.. You can set a custom player model with the "SetCustomModel" input. TeleportEntity, SetEntityHealth..

Ill check out smlib, and see how it would be done.

As for arrays, Ill do some research into using arrays. As for the others, I dont need much help on those, yet.
Also, if its not to much to ask, can you make an example for me. Although im familiar with sourcemod, ive never done anything advanced in it besides a few small, easy scripts.
