Though untested this plugin apparently supports TF2 and it looks like it does the exact same thing as yours.

Great, I get the point that I made a plugin that others have already made because I figured the requester had done a search. Please remind me to go hunt down a massive amount of links and chase you down next time you post something thats been said or done before.

[Electric Warrior]

Thanks for your work CrimsonGT, don't get disheartened, some people are just ungrateful.

[Electric Warrior]

Totally in the wrong context, but hey, never mind eh? You'll get over it. :)

[CrimsonGT]

Not so much, I am trying to get better at writing sourcemod plugins and this was just an oppurtunity to put what i've learned to use for someone besides myself.

[Furrydog]

Guess it does, the guy who requested it said he couldn't find one that worked in TF2.

I know this may be considered and old wound but when I search the forums for spawn or protection this is the only plugin that comes up. I've downloaded and use it.... Thanks CrimsonGT

[CrimsonGT]

lol np. I haven't heard anyone else mention it, but I have a lot of trouble with the forum search. I searched all Sourcemod forums for things and it doesnt return anything. Its especially annoying that it doesnt look inside of the [code] blocks.

[Fredd]

you guys need some serious help then... (http://www.sourcemod.net/plugins.php?description=spawn&search=1)

[CrimsonGT]

Talking about the forum search you jackass.

Talking about the forum search you jackass.


Forum search seems fine (http://forums.alliedmods.net/search.php?searchid=1972894) to me :mrgreen:

[pantho]

Thx Crimson :)

I tried the ServerDefense one, it worked fine for CSS, but for TF2 they stay protected for a unknown period. i turned the mod off after 2 minutes because people was still protected, (was set to 5 seconds)

Anyways, this is perfect and simple. Does the job i ask, and it does it well.

Maybe add a color for protection, 50% alpha maybe

(PS, this is also better than ServerDefense as it just does the spawn protection, ServerDefense comes with unwanted extras :))

[menotyou]

this work on dod:s O/B

[ljprevo]

There is a problem with this plugin, if a player throws a nade in spawn and stays in spawn during protection time it crashes and resets the server.

[Lord Max]

Hey,

I just want to say, this is one hell of a plugin. I've been trying to get some other TF2 Spawn Protection plugins working, but they are too complicated.

I like this because it a plain, simple and very easy to use plugin. I would recommend this to anyone who would like a Spawn Protection plugin for TF2.

Thanks alot CrimsonGT,

Lord Max

[GrossKopf]

Thanks for making this plugin. Works great! I have it installed on my server!

Hi,

I've put this plugin on Insurgency and it seems ok.

I've got one issue : the respawn time is always 5 seconds, it's a bit short...

I've try to set sm_spawnprotect_timer 10 or more but it remains on 5 seconds protection.

[CrimsonGT]

Honestly, not a clue as far as insurgency goes. I made it as generic as possible so as many mods could use it as possible. However, with these non valve made mods, some of them are a bit different. If anyone does any coding for Insurgency that wants to give me an idea, I will try and get that cvar to work for that game as well.

[pit]

My fault, it works. I had to set the protection time in server.cfg file, not in the sourcemod plugin config file.

[sLuGo]

Updated Insurgency server. Sourcemod snapshot 1.1.0-dev

This error is crashing my server(usually full :\)Really like the plugin, please let me know if i can do anything to help get it back to stable.

According to Game-Monitor quite a few DoDS servers are running it so it shouldnt have a problem.

[CrimsonGT]

Yes

[rodregis]

This plugin works great on my zombie riot server apart from the fact that the zombies get it too.

Any chance you could make it so that we can choose so only CT or T's get the protection.

Or possibly just two cvars to allow individual spawn timer lengths for each side?

[Remy Lebeau]

Hi,

Is there a reason why it is limited to 30 seconds for spawn protection? Could you modify it to be unlimited?

I'm trying to use this mod to give everyone on the server God mode. I want to setup a "pro" surf server, and need a mod so that people don't kill, only surf... this would work fine (I want to set spawn protection for the duration of the map time...), except that it's limited to 30 secs...

[Remy Lebeau]

Never mind, I edited it + recompiled myself :-) Made the limit 4800 seconds.

Please make this so people will be a certain color/opacity when they are spawn protected! I like this one out of all spawn protection plugins!!

Probably doesn't cause any crashes, use "if (IsClientInGame(client))" on the line it's talking about.

I searched "timer_PlayerProtect" in SpawnProtection.sp and found these 2:

CreateTimer(GetConVarFloat(cvarProtectTime), timer_PlayerProtect, client);
public Action:timer_PlayerProtect(Handle:timer, any:client)Could you please be more exact about where the changes should be made?

[turk89]

Edit: Problem solved.

[friagram]

This plugin causes crashes - and infinite timer loops/leaks, esp. if you disable the plugin, and load a new map, it will continue to loop forever. It's better to remove the timer restore health loops/hooks, and just make it edit the player's entity to make them take no damage. When protection expires, edit the entity again so that they take damage. This also prevents enemy players from doing things like charging up buff banner/mmmmpf in tf2.

[Wazman]

Hey, Is there a way you can make it so that you can set the protection on a specific Team.

[luki1412]

Hello guys, I thought that someone might want this version so Im posting it here.

Error PrintToChat should be fixed and I have also added red/blue glow on spawn protected players. I have tested this on tf2 and its working well.

EDIT: Changed colors to orange/light blue on protected players. Fixed bug where you use "Spy!" voice command on someone and it will play sound that spy is around. It will still not work when players are colored.

EDIT2: Removed unnecessary checks. Fixed an error, being spammed in the console/logs.

EDIT3: Added some checks to ignore client 0, fixed some typos and updated some code.

[maxolahird]

Please crymsom this still do damage even if not having effect on target... for example if my attack has freezing skills it does freeze him even when protected x.x

[SM9]

You should NOT be setting a timer directly on a client, instead you should parse his userid. If that client disconnects while the timer is still running its going to hook itself to any other client that takes his index. For this reason I'm surprised its even approved.

I have fixed the errors and also made the messages less spammy.
