[TF2] Auto Pumpkins (Automatic Pumpkin Spawner) [v2.2.2]
 

Description:

Spawn and save pumpkin locations! They will be restored at the start of each round just like Harvest.

Pumpkin locations are saved per-map, so don't worry about pumpkins on dustbowl showing up in 2fort.

Commands:

sm_spawnpumpkin - Spawns a pumpkin and saves it's location to the database. Pumpkin spawns where you stand.
sm_deletepumpkin - Disables the pumpkin you're looking at in the database.

Cvars:

sm_pumpkin_version - Plugin Version
sm_pumpkin_respawntime "20" - How fast pumpkins respawn. -1 = pumpkins only respawn at round start.

Install Instructions:

1. Place AutoPumpkins.smx into your addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.
2. Update your database.cfg file:
   
   Code:

   ---

   "autopumpkins"
{
    "driver" "mysql"
    "host" "webserver IP"
    "database" "database name"
    "user" "database username"
    "pass" "database username password"
    //"timeout" "0"
    "port" "3306"
}

   ---

Notes:

Command's access level is ROOT.
Have your servers share a database to sync pumpkins across multiple servers.

When first spawning a pumpkin, it will be non-solid to prevent you getting stuck. When they are spawned at the start of the round they will be solid as normal.

Plugin requires SDKHooks and as such will not compile on the forums!
Use the pre-compiled .smx or compile it yourself locally!

Re: [TF2] Auto Pumpkins (Autonomous Pumpkin Spawner)
 

nice!

works perfectly so far! :D one small suggestion: a respawn timer for the pumpkins so that they come back after a while if the map runs long... maybe 1 minute... or 90 seconds... could even be a cvar so admins could set the delay to whatever they want... just a thought...
plugin is very nice as it sits though. thank you for this!

Re: [TF2] Auto Pumpkins (Autonomous Pumpkin Spawner)
 

I could do that, except then you'd end up with massive numbers of pumpkins in some areas if they aren't blown up.

Re: [TF2] Auto Pumpkins (Autonomous Pumpkin Spawner)
 

thats not really what i was getting at... i dont want them to keep spawning... just respawn after a bit if they are blown up... much like a health kit respawns after a while if you pick it up...

Re: [TF2] Auto Pumpkins (Autonomous Pumpkin Spawner)
 

Sorry I wasn't more clear; there's no (easy) way to tell which pumpkin was blown up and where its located.
I may see about it when my replacement GPU arrives. (My current one just died).

halloween on 2fort. hell yea :D

Re: [TF2] Auto Pumpkins (Autonomous Pumpkin Spawner)
 

ahhh... ok... i see what you are saying. they dont really have an index of any kind to keep track of... no matter, was a small thing anyhow... still a very fun addition... lots of positive feedback from my regulars... nice to have some harvest events on regular maps.

thanx again for this!
